Who should not use a hyperbaric chamber?
Do not use the chamber if you cannot equalize (pop) your ears, or if you have a cold, congestion, sinus issues, or an ear infection, wait until your ears clear normally. It cannot be used at all if you have ever had a punctured or collapsed lung, or an untreated pneumothorax. Some conditions need a physician's clearance first, including COPD, emphysema, severe asthma, uncontrolled seizures, uncontrolled high fever, recent ear surgery or ear tubes, pregnancy, and any active upper-respiratory infection. If you're unsure, check with your doctor.
How long is each session, and how often should I use it?
Each session runs 60–90 minutes, including the time to pressurize. Most people go at least 3 times per week, and daily use is fine. Do not exceed two sessions (up to 90 minutes each) in a single day.
How many sessions before I notice results?
A typical regimen is 30–60 total hours over 1–3 months, depending on your goals. Consistency matters more than any single session.
What pressure and oxygen level does the chamber use?
It's a mild hyperbaric chamber operating at 1.3–1.5 ATA with 99.9% oxygen delivered through a mask.
What's included with my rental?
Everything you need: the inflatable chamber, the combined air compressor and oxygen-enrichment unit, a cooler/AC dehumidifier, an oxygen mask, a mattress pad and cover, the manual and emergency pressure-release valves, and pressure gauges. Every rental also includes full-service delivery, setup, and hands-on training.
Do you deliver, set it up, and train me?
Yes. Our Utah team delivers the chamber, installs and pressure-tests it in the room you choose, and walks you through safe operation, session protocols, and emergency steps. A printed quick-reference guide stays with the chamber, and we're a call or text away throughout your rental.
Can I use the chamber by myself?
Yes, once you've completed Purebaric's screening and hands-on training and you follow the operating guide. Before using it alone, you should: stay within the published limits (60 to 90 minute sessions, no more than two a day, at 1.3 to 1.5 ATA); know how to equalize your ears, depressurize, and use the emergency exit; keep all sharp or flammable items out; and know when to stop a session and seek care. To seal it from the inside, pull the outer zipper closed from within, tuck the blue membrane up between the two zipper tracks, close the inner zipper completely, then fully close the manual valve. We cover all of this in your training, and it's detailed in our safety rules and the operating guide that stays with the chamber.
What should I take off before getting in?
Remove anything sharp or flammable: shoes, metal-point belts, keys, sharp jewelry, hairpins, knives or tools, and any lighter or match. Soft items are welcome, a blanket, pillow, water bottle, or a tablet in a smooth case.
How warm does it get inside?
The chamber stays around 73°F (23°C). It may warm slightly for the first 5–10 minutes while pressurizing, then settles back to normal once full pressure is reached. The included cooler/dehumidifier helps keep it comfortable.
Is it safe? What about oxygen toxicity?
At mild pressure (1.3–1.5 ATA), oxygen toxicity is extremely rare. Keep sessions to 90 minutes or less, no more than two per day, and don't use the chamber with untreated lung disease. Always equalize your ears as pressure rises, and if you can't, stop and depressurize. In an emergency (sharp ear or chest pain, trouble breathing, or panic), press and hold the red emergency valve, and never open the zippers while the chamber is under pressure.
What areas do you deliver to?
We deliver across Utah's Wasatch Front, including Salt Lake City, Park City, Provo, Lehi, Draper, and Sandy, roughly a 2-hour delivery radius. Not sure if you're in range? Ask us and we'll confirm your ZIP.
