The HMS-5000-6-MINI-QUADRO is a Class A, pressure vessel for human occupancy (PVHO) that is designed in a rectangular geometry. It has two (2) compartments which are pressurized with air used for administering hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments up to six (6) patients simultaneously at a pressure up to 3 atmospheres absolute (3ATA). It is designed, fabricated, and tested in compliance with the following FDA consensus standards: American Society of Mechanical Engineers / Pressure Vessel for Human Occupancy (ASME/PVHO-1) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 99, Health Care Facilities.
A mains electricity (AC-powered) hard-shelled vessel (e.g., metal, acrylic) in which a patient is placed to receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), the medical use of oxygen (O2) at a higher than atmospheric pressure. The device increases environmental O2 pressure above normal to promote movement of O2 into a patient's tissues. It typically includes an airlock(s) for patient/object entry, view ports, air valves, and a control panel. It is used to treat disorders that typically include decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, air/gas embolism, necrotizing tissue infections, and various injuries/wounds; it can also be used to study effects of pressure and decompression.
