How much does a FINK chamber cost?

Most seated FESL projects come in between USD 300,000 and 600,000 installed. Where yours lands depends on the number of seats and the fit-out. The written quote for your site sets the final figure, including delivery, import and any building work. Exact model prices are available on request.

Is a FINK chamber FDA cleared?

Yes. The FESL-310, 322, 323 and 324 are supplied under FINK’s FDA 510(k) clearance K240569, granted on 21 November 2024. They are prescription devices for the 13 conditions listed in the clearance. We send the clearance letter with each proposal and explain the documentation for your project.

What is the difference between 1.3 ATA and 2.0 ATA?

Pressure affects the oxygen dose. A 1.3 ATA system and a chamber delivering medical oxygen at 2.0 ATA do not provide the same exposure. UHMS defines HBO₂ at no less than 2.0 ATA with the specified oxygen, chamber standards and physician oversight. Compare purity as well as pressure.

Can I use an oxygen concentrator?

We specify high-purity medical oxygen in cylinders for the FESL projects we support. A standard concentrator supplies around 93% oxygen and is not a substitute for that specification. The prescribed gas supply, mask and flow must work together. Agree the oxygen plan before choosing the chamber.

How much space does a one-seat chamber need?

The FESL-310 vessel measures 2.0 × 2.3 × 2.2 m, width × depth × height. The complete installation also needs operating and service clearances, equipment and oxygen arrangements. We work through the room and access plan with you. The external vessel dimensions alone are not a minimum room size.

How heavy is the Solo?

The FESL-310 Solo weighs 1,300 kg. The Duo weighs 2,000 kg, the Trio ~2,900 kg and the Quad 3,300 kg. The installation team needs to check structural loading and the delivery route for the chosen model, including handling and assembly access, before an order is placed.

Can a chamber go upstairs?

That depends on the building structure and the delivery route. The FESL line is modular and assembled in the room, but modular construction does not establish that an upstairs floor can support it. The project needs a structural assessment, access checks and a written installation plan for the chosen model.

Who can operate it?

A trained operator runs the FESL chamber. The occupant does not self-operate. A prescribing physician and appropriate medical oversight are part of the treatment arrangements. Operator training, emergency procedures and commissioning should be agreed with FINK and the local project team before the first supervised session.

How long from order to installation?

The schedule is confirmed in the written proposal for the model and destination. It includes manufacture, site preparation, approvals, freight, assembly, commissioning and operator training. Tell us your intended opening date early so we can work through those dependencies. We do not publish a universal delivery lead time.

What maintenance does it need?

The manufacturer’s maintenance and inspection schedule governs the supplied chamber. Agree the service provider, consumables, parts arrangements, warranty scope and escalation contact in your proposal. Include ongoing oxygen supply and operator training in the operating budget as well as the chamber’s scheduled servicing and inspections.

Do you supply to Europe?

Yes, project by project. We confirm the import route and registration requirements for your country before quoting. The project also needs an oxygen supply and installation plan. Send your country, setting and preferred seat count so we can establish the scope without assuming a common route or timeline for every market.

Can I buy one for my home?

Yes. Home ownership needs a prescribing physician, a trained operator for each session, suitable structure and access, and a reliable medical oxygen supply. The FESL range offers one to four seats. We help you work through those arrangements before choosing a model or committing to building work.

Do you ship to my country?

We take chamber enquiries from every country and FINK ships worldwide. Supply is confirmed for each project after checking the import route, local registration, site and oxygen supply. Start with your city and country, intended setting and preferred seats. The written proposal establishes what can be supplied and installed.

What does UHMS accreditation mean?

UHMS accreditation concerns a hyperbaric treatment facility and its service. It is separate from the clearance and construction documentation for a chamber. The Brain & Performance Centre’s accreditation belongs to the clinic. It does not transfer to a new FESL installation simply because the same manufacturer supplies the equipment.

Is HBOT the same as HBO₂?

Yes, both mean hyperbaric oxygen treatment. UHMS's 2026 terminology statement prefers HBO₂ in professional use. The label alone is not enough to compare services: establish the pressure, oxygen purity, chamber construction, physician oversight and prescribed course behind any use of either term.

How many people can a FESL seat?

The seated line has four models: FESL-310 Solo for one person, FESL-322 Duo for two, FESL-323 Trio for three and FESL-324 Quad for four. They use individual oxygen masks in an air-pressurised cabin. Larger FINK systems for hospital departments are built to order and quoted per project.

Is the cabin filled with oxygen?

No. The FESL cabin is pressurised with air. Each person breathes 100% medical oxygen through an individual mask. This separates the cabin atmosphere from the prescribed breathing gas. The installation still needs correct oxygen handling, trained operation, maintenance and the manufacturer’s emergency procedures.

What pressure does the FESL treat at?

Medical oxygen is delivered by mask at up to 2.0 ATA, the minimum pressure in the UHMS 2026 definition. The vessel is rated at 2.8 ATA operating pressure and 3.0 ATA design pressure. Those equipment ratings are not treatment settings. The doctor prescribes the pressure for each session.

What is included in the installed price?

The written quotation defines the scope for your project. Ask for the chamber, freight, insurance, import charges, local delivery, site work, oxygen equipment, commissioning, training and support to be itemised. The USD 300,000 to 600,000 range describes typical seated projects. It is not a promise that every listed item is included.

Can I see exact model prices online?

Exact model prices are available on request. We publish the installed project range to help with initial planning, then prepare a written budget for your seat count, setting and country. This lets you compare the chamber and the work around it, including delivery, oxygen supply and any building requirements.

Can a chamber fit through an ordinary doorway?

The FESL line is modular, with sections brought through standard doorways and assembled in the room. The installer still checks the actual delivery route, entrances, corridors and any lifts. The route and handling plan must match the supplied configuration. Modular construction does not remove the need for a site check.

What safety systems are included?

Every FESL includes a fire deluge system, UPS backup power and emergency depressurisation controls inside and outside. Ask to see them demonstrated during commissioning. Safe operation also depends on trained staff, maintenance and agreed emergency procedures, alongside the chamber’s ASME PVHO-1 and NFPA 99 construction basis.

Can a hotel offer sessions?

A hotel installation needs a medically operated service with prescribing physicians, trained operators and medical oxygen. Room, fire and oxygen requirements still apply. We help plan the equipment and installation, while the clinical operator establishes assessment, supervision and treatment arrangements for guests under the local requirements.

Does buying a chamber include clinic treatment?

No. Chamber purchases and treatment at The Brain & Performance Centre are separate arrangements. HBO₂ Health works with FINK Engineering on chamber sales and can arrange clinic introductions. The clinic’s medical team assesses suitability and decides on treatment. Equipment ownership does not include a clinical programme or guarantee an outcome.

What information should I send first?

Send your city and country, the intended setting, the number of seats you are considering and your timeframe. If you already have a room in mind, include practical access and space questions. Leave medical records and private health information out of the enquiry. Those belong with the clinical team.
