Safety Guidelines for Mounting Electronics in Hyperbaric Chambers
Electronics and hyperbaric oxygen therapy don’t always mix — especially in oxygen-rich environments where the risk of combustion is significantly increased. Airvida maintains a strict safety policy regarding electronics inside chambers. Here's what you need to know:
✅ Safe: Hardwired & Integrated Electronics
Airvida chambers can include certain factory-installed, hardwired systems — such as the integrated Red Light Therapy Package — which are:
-
🔌 Fully integrated into the chamber infrastructure
-
🔒 Enclosed and sealed, with no exposed wiring
-
✅ Tested for use in hyperbaric, oxygen-enriched environments
These are the only electronics approved for use inside Airvida chambers.
❌ Strictly Prohibited: Phones, Tablets & Lithium-Ion Devices
Due to serious safety concerns, no personal electronics with lithium-ion batteries are allowed inside Airvida hyperbaric chambers.
This includes:
-
📱 Smartphones
-
💻 Laptops
-
🎧 Wireless earbuds/headphones
-
🔋 Any battery-powered or plug-in consumer device not supplied by Airvida
⚠️ Lithium-ion batteries can spark or combust under pressure and oxygen exposure. Airvida prohibits their use inside all chambers, softshell or hardshell.
⚠️ Medical Implants: Doctor’s Clearance Required
If you have any implanted medical devices such as:
-
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) systems
-
Pacemakers
-
Insulin pumps
You must consult with your neurosurgeon or physician before using any hyperbaric chamber.
