How is oxygen delivered?
FESL cabins are pressurised with air. Each occupant breathes medical oxygen through a separate mask, rather than filling the cabin with oxygen. Oxygen handling, maintenance and operating procedures remain essential.
What safety equipment is built in?
Every FESL has a fire deluge system, UPS backup power and emergency depressurisation controls inside and outside. These should be demonstrated during commissioning. The construction basis includes ASME PVHO-1 and NFPA 99. FINK specifications · construction standards.
Why trained operation matters
The FDA’s August 2025 safety letter reports serious injuries and deaths involving hyperbaric devices and calls for following the manufacturer’s instructions, trained staff, supervision and regular checks. A compliant chamber still needs correct operation. FDA safe-use letter.
Include a trained operator for each session, emergency procedures, maintenance records and oxygen handling in the project plan.
