Hard Monoplace Chamber 

Mono Place HBOT Chamber 


Hard Mono place chambers are used by People in hospital rehabilitation center , physiotherapy centers Day care , Beauty clinics , and in Medical clinics because of Small size , and Cheaper Price and being portable and easy to install as it takes only 3 days to install from the container from which it is. shipped from the Manufacturer . The price is another issue that most of doctors are not able to afford the multi-place chambers which are very very costly Monoplace is ideal solution for such Doctors as they can use it in their clinics and small hospitals easily .

These Chambers Although vary in Price that is not so cheap for third World countries .

Monoplace chambers can be still used as it is cheapest option in Hard hyperbaric chambers that can easily be used for 20-30 years if properly Maintained and serviced and its rubber seals and compressors are properly serviced. The have to be serviced by the company which makes them or by a recommended Service provider of Hyperbaric chambers .

They can also be used ordered and also used at home . For example Hard Mono chambers are very useful for home use as it is hard and sturdy unlike the flexible chamber and can attain pressures that the flexible Mono chamber cannot attain and hence the treatment carried out in Hard mono chamber is better and recommended by Authorities that control and regulate the hyperbaric medicine all over the world .

Buying and Installing a Hard Mono Place HBOT Chamber:  


If you want to order the Mono place Hyperbaric chamber you can contact me on my following contact address as they are manufactured in USA , Europe off course as , chamber That are of high quality only recommend by Hyperbaric Medical Society of Pakistan and that of UHMS and European Hyperbaric medical Society will only be considered and not the low quality ones as low quality chambers are headache to operate , it can be arranged via me .

Full installation on turn key basis will be done by me as a consultant and engineers will be called and they will install the HBOT chamber for you according to manufacturers satisfaction. And after Sales and service will also arranged as a separate contract .

 Monoplace Chamber is Classified as follows :


The Chambers are Classified in North America by FDA and NFPA, that is Food and Drug Authority and National Fire Protection Agency


FDA USA Classification : Class 2 Chamber

NFPA USA : Class B ( Mono Chambers )

Hence it is Class 2 B Product.


Both The FDA and EC in USA and Europe does Recommend the Hard Mono Place Chambers as worthy of Use for Regular Treatment of Hyperbaric Therapy, Mono place chambers can be used at home or in Hospitals Rehabilitation , physiotherapy centers , Spa and Beauty centers .

Hard Monoplace Chamber Types : 


The HBOT Mono place chambers have the following.
  1. Full Acrylic / Glass shape 
  2. Half Acrylic / Glass shape

Gas used to Pressurize Mono Chamber :

  1. AIR Pressurization compression system 
  2. OXYGEN Pressurization compression system 
Air Pressurization System : 

Just like the Multi place chamber , the Mono place Hbot chamber also has a AIR pressure and compression system , as AIR has 21 % oxygen only and rest is Nitorgen 78% an inert gas That does not take part in combustion or explosion , and hence safer then Oxygen which is highly combustible . However the Air compression Monoplace chamber is more expensive than the Oxygen compression system in price . In the Air compression Monoplace HBOt chamber oxygen mask or oxygen helmet is used to deliver the oxygen to the patient under taking the treatment .

Oxygen Pressurization System :

In the other pressure compressor system where the oxygen is used for treatment although cheaper change in price and no oxygen mask is used for the patient and he / she lies just like that in the chamber.

But there are drawbacks to This.chamber as it can cause an explosion as pure oxygen is being used for treatment of the patient . Pure oxygen is 100% saturation . This chamber is relatively more dangerous than the Air compression system in mono chamber and most of Mono chambers have this system all around the world and Air compression in Mono place HBot chamber is in un common .

Control System to Run the Chamber : 

  1. Fully Computerized Control System 
  2. Manual Control System 

Fully Computerized Control System : 


In Fully Automatic HBOT Chambers Software's Control the Mono Place Chamber and its Prevents the  Barotrauma by Controlled Pressure Increase and Depth Control , and hence is more Beneficial for the Patients and it is more conformable to run and it corrects the Mistakes of Operator who can Injure the Ears and Sinuses of Patients by controlling the Depth and Pressure Control . 

Manual Control System : 


In Manual Controlled HBOT Chambers Operator Control the Mono Place Chamber via a Handle like Throttle shaped like Airplane Jet Control , hence it is more Direct Control and Mistakes are not Corrected by the HBOT Chamber. A well trained Operator is Required for Operation and running of this Chamber with Sufficient Experience .


Hyperbaric Medical Associations and Operating Pressures : 


UHMS of USA ,European EUBS , AHDMA , Asian Hyperbaric Medical Association and Oceania South Pacific Region , SPUMS South Pacific undersea and Medical Society also Agrees with USA and EC standards and it considered as safe and reliable Medical Equipment and Included as part of HBO Treatment Options that are recommended by Doctors and the hyperbaric Associations as HArd Mono Chambers :

Operating Pressures to treat up to 2.5  Bars Pressure

Drawback of Hard Monoplace HBOT chambers :



A: Lack of Safety Features: The Hard Mono Place HBOT chambers dont have as following:
  1. Lack of Fire Suppression system and Fire and explosion there is no safety system that can Extinguish the fire and save the life of patient like Sprinkler system. 
  2. Lack of Escape features , the chamber lacks the Escape Mechanism in case of Emergency and no Features exist that can open the chamber from inside in case of Emergency except the Zipper that can be opened from inside . 
  3. Highly Dangerous and prone to Fires and Most of Fires reported are in Flexible chambers 

B: Oxygen is Used for both Compression and also Consumption Directly.
  1. 100% Oxygen is used via the compressor System  In Pure Oxygen Mono Place Chambers attached to the Oxygen Cylinder that can lead to Fire Hazard as Oxygen is Inflammable gas . 
  2. In Quality Mono Place HBOT Chambers using Air Compression System it is a lot Safer that has only 21% Oxygen in the Compression System as Air that has 72 % Inert Nitrogen Gas in it that has less Chance of Combustion and Catching Fire.  
  3.  Oxygen can escape from from the Defective Seals who are not Maintained and Replaced every Year at least as it is prone to Wear and Tears , Leading to accidents 

C: Patient Discomfort in Manual Mono Place HBOT Chambers.
  1. Lack of Air- conditioning is very big Factor and as Gas is Compressed and Molecules come together of Gas inside of chamber it cause Heating up of Inside of Chamber and in Summers and Hot Weather it is like sitting in a Oven . Hot Environment inside of Session leading to Excessive sweating and Dehydration of patients as Patient has to be for one hour to 2 Hours at Least inside of HBOT chambers . 
  2. For Controlling the Hot Environment Air-conditioning is Required outside of Flexible chamber and if not Adequate can lead to Patients especially children to Abandon the Treatment . 
  3. In Case of Air-conditioning not Maintaining a Certain level of humidity Outside of Flexible chamber can lead to formation of condensation inside and outside of chamber and Leaking water etc from Compressor and Piping and lot of humidity inside of chamber . 

D: Attendant and Medical Nurse requirement Issues  :
  1. Attendant has to go Inside of Mono Place for the Children as they cant be Alone inside of Chamber as they feel Suffocated and Terrified and Claustrophobia can be an issue with Children as well as Adults . 
  2. Medical Nurse cannot be inside of Chamber and has to be outside on Controls and he cannot intervene in case of Emergencies inside of Mono Place Chamber . 
  3. The Patients who Need constant care and are Aggressive and Children are not Suitable for Mono Place HBOT Chamber. 
  4. Not Really Comfortable inside of Mono place as compared to Multi place Chamber . 

E: Emergency Situation :
  1. In case of Emergency the Mono Place HBOT chamber has safety Issues as it cant be Opened from Inside in case of Fire by the Patients and the Multi Place can be Opened from Inside by Manual Control . 
  2. Cannot be Used for Diving Medical Emergencies as it is a medical Chamber and not Diving Chamber , Most people think they can use Medical Chambers for Diving Emergencies which is is a Fallacy and wrong Assumption as they are different Breed of Machines . 
  3. Has no Fire Suppression System (FSS ) , Inside of Mono Place HBOT Chamber . 
  4. Medical HBOT Nurse is Outside and he cannot Give Immediate Help in case of Medical Emergencies like Pulmonary Collapse , Heart Attack , or Convulsions etc and even Panic Attacks and Claustrophobic attacks etc and has to resort to Decompression to open up and then treat the Patient .
