OxyRevo Space60 Questions
Choosing the Space60
What is a hard shell hyperbaric oxygen chamber?
A rigid pressure vessel, in this case stainless steel with Bayer polycarbonate glazing, rather than a fabric tube held shut with a zip. The rigid build is what lets a chamber hold 2.0 ATA, since soft chambers stop around 1.3 to 1.5 ATA. It also means a hinged door instead of a zip, and no fabric to perish.
Is it legal to own a hyperbaric chamber in the US?
Yes. The Space60 is sold as CE-certified machinery, non-medical, and there is no restriction on private ownership. It is not an FDA cleared medical device, and we make no medical or treatment claims about it. Whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is appropriate for you is a question for your physician.
Will insurance pay for a home hyperbaric chamber?
Almost never for a home unit. US insurers generally reimburse hyperbaric oxygen therapy only for a specific list of conditions, delivered in a clinical setting on an FDA cleared device. A CE machinery chamber bought for a home or a wellness business sits outside that. Most buyers pay outright or use financing, which we offer in the US and Canada.
What is the difference between the 1.5 ATA and 2.0 ATA builds?
Both share the shell, the seated design and the machine unit. The 1.5 build adjusts from 1.2 to 1.5 ATA and weighs 1,323 lbs. The 2.0 build adjusts from 1.4 to 2.0 ATA, uses heavier material for the full range, and weighs 1,543 lbs. Those are the two builds we sell. Other pressure configurations exist, but call 866-861-6317 first so we can check feasibility before you order. If the chamber is going onto a suspended floor, that 220 lb difference is worth knowing before you order.
What is the difference between the Standard and Mini width?
Width only. The Standard body is 86 cm, which is 34 inches. The Mini is 78 cm, which is 30.7 inches. Length, height, both pressure builds, the chair and the machine unit are the same. The width cards are on the Description tab.
Will the Space60 fit through my doorway?
Not through a standard 30 inch residential door, on either width. The chamber is 79 inches long and 60 inches tall. The Standard body is 34 inches and the Mini is 30.7 inches, so both are wider than a 30 inch frame. Send us your measurements and we will check the whole route, since basements, stair landings and lifts are where this usually goes wrong. White glove delivery is a paid add-on and worth it for a tight route.
How many people can use the Space60 at once?
One. OxyRevo builds it as a single seat, sitting type chamber, 79 inches long, with one chair for sitting or reclining. If you need two seats side by side, that is a larger walk-in class of chamber. Ask us and we will point you to the right option.
Does the Space60 reach 2.5 ATA?
No. It tops out at 2.0 ATA in the 2.0 build. Chambers rated to 2.5 ATA are medical-grade units built for hospitals, cost far more and need certified operators. We do not stock them but can source one on request. Whether you need that pressure is a decision to take with your physician.
Why choose the Space60 over a soft chamber?
Two reasons. The hard shell reaches up to 2.0 ATA, which soft chambers do not. And the hard door has no zipper to work through getting in and out. The Comparison tab has the full side by side.
Size, weight and setup
How much room does the Space60 need?
Two pieces, not one. The chamber is 79 x 34 x 60 inches on the Standard width, or 79 x 30.7 x 60 inches on the Mini. The all-in-one machine unit is a separate cabinet at 31.5 x 15.7 x 35.4 inches that stands beside it. OxyRevo asks you to keep both away from the wall in open air so they can shed heat, and you need room to open the front door fully and get in and out of the chair.
How loud is it during normal operation?
50 dB or below, which is around the level of a quiet conversation or a fridge running. The compressor is oil-free and sits in the machine unit outside the chamber rather than inside it, so the noise is in the room rather than next to your head. If the chamber is going next to a bedroom or a treatment room wall, the machine unit is the box to place carefully.
How much does it weigh, and can it be moved once inside?
1,323 lbs on the 1.5 build and 1,543 lbs on the 2.0. Four lockable wheels are fitted at the base. Screw the gear on each wheel clockwise to release the wheels, roll the chamber, then screw them back to lock it in position. Getting it into the room in the first place is what white glove delivery is for.
What is the difference between standard and white glove delivery?
With standard delivery the trucking company brings the crated chamber to your location, and unloading, uncrating and moving are yours to handle. White glove delivery is a paid add-on: unloading, setup and cleanup are done for you, and the team walks you through operating the chamber. On a chamber this heavy we recommend it.
What are the power requirements?
The all-in-one unit runs on a standard 110V or 220V outlet and draws 1,700 W. No dedicated circuit is needed under normal installation. Confirm your outlet with us before delivery. Leave clear space around the unit so it can shed heat, and keep it out of bathrooms and damp rooms.
Do I need a technician or a doctor to install and operate it?
No. Installation is fitting the control board and display screen, then connecting the wires and tubes from the machine unit to the chamber. There is no commissioning process. OxyRevo asks you to run the empty chamber once before anyone gets in and check it operates normally. White glove delivery is a paid add-on if you would rather have it set up for you.
Can larger users fit inside?
It fits most users up to 6 feet 5 inches and 300 lbs comfortably, and the Standard width gives the most shoulder room. If you are near the top of that range, ask us and we will talk through the fit before you order.
Delivery, warranty and support
What is the lead time?
On average 6 to 8 weeks: roughly four weeks for production and testing, then about four weeks for shipping. Once the chamber ships we send vessel tracking for the ocean leg. After it clears US customs you receive a truck tracking number and the delivery team contacts you to schedule the drop-off. Expedited shipping cuts about two weeks off that.
What warranty comes with the Space60?
Two years residential and one year commercial, from the date of delivery, on materials and workmanship when the chamber has been operated properly, plus lifetime technical support at no cost. If a fault can be repaired, replacement parts are supplied free and you are walked through the repair with photos and video. A 2-year extended warranty is available as a paid add-on.
How long are the components rated to last?
Chamber capsule 10,000 hours, air compressor 10,000 hours, cooling unit 10,000 hours, oxygen concentrator 5,000 hours. The full list is on the Specifications tab.
Can I buy replacement filters and parts later?
Yes. The onboard concentrator produces oxygen continuously, so there are no tanks to buy or refill. Activated carbon filters are the only parts needing routine replacement, every 6 to 12 months depending on use. Spare filters and fuses ship with the chamber and you can order more.
Do you deliver to Canada?
Yes, we deliver hard chambers into Canada. Prices are quoted in US dollars unless we state otherwise, and financing is available for Canadian buyers through a separate partner that needs a qualification step first. Reply to your quote and we will confirm delivery, currency and financing for your address.
Options and configuration
What is the difference between the 10L, 15L and 20L concentrator?
Output. The 10 L is included as standard. The 15 L suits one user running longer or repeat sessions. The 20 L delivers 1 to 20 litres per minute at 90 to 98 percent and adds an oxygen boosting system, which holds flow once the chamber reaches full pressure. If you are adding the BIBS mask, order it with the 20 L. Pricing is on the Optional Upgrades tab.
What optional upgrades can I add?
Three chair upgrades, a red light therapy panel, a water chiller air conditioner, a 15 or 20 L concentrator, the OmniBreath BIBS mask bundled with the 20 L, a spare all-in-one compressor unit, a TV holder and Bluetooth speaker, an ABS working table, an anti-static mat, a 2-year extended warranty and expedited shipping. The hardware upgrades are fitted at the factory, so specify them with the order.
Which chair options are available, and in what colours?
A folding recliner is included in six colours: black, blackish green, coffee, cyan blue, dark grey fabric and orange. Three paid upgrades are offered: an electric power chair in black, grey or red, an electric massage chair, and a luxury multi-function power chair in beige or black. Only one chair fits at a time, so an upgrade replaces the folding recliner rather than adding to it.
Does the Space60 include cooling and air conditioning?
The standard unit ships with two cooling machines and a humidity water container, which pull humidity out and cool the air inside. It is electrically driven and needs no ice water or Freon. In a room with working air conditioning the interior stays comfortable, and OxyRevo asks you to run yours whenever the room is above 68°F. For a hot or humid climate, or back-to-back commercial sessions, the optional water chiller adds active cooling.
Using the Space60
Can one person operate it alone?
Yes. Pressurisation, oxygen flow, lighting and dehumidification all run from the internal control board, and the gauges and display are duplicated inside. A phone system links inside to outside. The user manual gives a session length of 60 to 120 minutes.
How does the folding chair work?
There is a clasp on the right hand side. Pull it, spring off the pedal, then use your own weight to set the backrest. Coming back up, the backrest follows you and the angle does not lock, so it is two movements rather than one lever. The powered chair upgrades on the Optional Upgrades tab replace that mechanism with a motor.
How do I sanitise it between sessions?
The chamber cleans as you use it. An anion generator captures 2.5 micron dust particles during the session, and a nano water steriliser works on bacteria and odour, which is what matters in a clinic running back-to-back clients. For a deeper clean, wipe the interior with a damp antibacterial cloth then run the chamber under pressure for 20 minutes until it dries. Wipe the oxygen headset with rubbing alcohol between users.
What should I wear inside?
Loose, comfortable clothing. Remove shoes, jewellery, long socks and anything sharp that could damage the chamber. Disposable foot and hair covers can be used in a clinic. Take a restroom break and drink your water first, since a session runs 60 to 120 minutes, and you can bring a phone or a drink in with you.
What will a session feel like?
You will notice a pressure change in your ears as the chamber pressurises and depressurises, similar to a plane taking off or landing. Chewing, swallowing or pinching your nose and blowing against a closed mouth clears it. If your ears will not equalise, OxyRevo says to end the session. Coming back down takes about 5 to 10 minutes, and the door only releases once the gauge reads zero.
I am claustrophobic. Will it feel closed in?
There is a transparent front door and a polycarbonate window on each side, which bring light in and open the view both ways. The seated design means you are upright rather than lying in a tube. If you have strong concerns, ask us about viewing one before you buy.
Safety and who should not use it
Is the Space60 an FDA cleared medical device?
No. It is certified CE as machinery, non-medical, and built to ISO 13485. It is not an FDA cleared or FDA approved medical device, and we make no medical or treatment claims about it. Whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy is right for you is for your doctor to judge, not us.
What safety systems does it have?
A smart door sensor that blocks operation until the door is fully closed, indicator lights inside and outside, automatic pressure relief valves that hold the working pressure, manual deflate valves on both sides, and an emergency valve that empties the cabin in about 30 seconds from inside. A power-failure system vents the chamber gradually and lowers the door if the power drops, which matters if the occupant has fallen asleep. The door releases only once the gauge reads 0 kPa.
Who does OxyRevo say should not use the chamber?
OxyRevo's manual lists people who should not use the chamber: pregnant women, people with severe infectious disease, a bad cold, pneumothorax, severe emphysema, blood pressure above 160/100, and severe heart problems. That is the manufacturer's own list, not medical advice from us. If any of these apply, speak to your physician before using the chamber, and do the same if you have any ear, sinus or lung condition.
Can children use the Space60?
This is a decision for a physician, and we ask you to speak with one before a minor uses the chamber. On the equipment side it is single occupant and the controls are duplicated outside the shell, so an adult can run and monitor the whole session from the exterior panel. The manual states that child use should be under adult care only.
