What is ATA and why does it matter?

ATA (Atmospheres Absolute) measures pressure in a hyperbaric chamber. Normal sea-level air pressure is 1.0 ATA. Increasing pressure in a chamber allows your body to absorb more oxygen, which supports healing, circulation, and energy.

• Airvida chambers typically operate at 1.3 to 1.5 ATA, classified as mild hyperbaric therapy (mHBOT). These are ideal for home or wellness use — safe, comfortable, and effective with regular sessions.

• Clinical HBOT systems may reach 2.0 ATA or more and are often paired with 100% medical-grade oxygen, requiring prescriptions and supervision.

💨 Do Airvida chambers use pure oxygen?

No — Airvida chambers compress room air or connect to an oxygen concentrator, which filters and enriches oxygen to about 90–96% purity, depending on the system. This delivers more oxygen than ambient air without requiring tanks or specialized infrastructure.

Even without 100% oxygen, studies show that combining increased pressure with enriched oxygen via concentrator yields significant wellness and recovery benefits.

🔍 Summary:

• 1.3–1.5 ATA + oxygen concentrator (Airvida) = ideal for regular home or wellness use

• 2.0+ ATA + medical oxygen tank = for clinical protocols under supervision
