Question 2

How much room is required for a Veterinary Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber?

Accepted Answer

HVM’s patented veterinary chamber is engineered specifically for small animals and pets and easily fits into an 8’x10’ standard treatment room.

Question 3

What kind of training is required for staff to operate the chamber?

Accepted Answer

Safety and Training are of the highest importance to HVM. That’s why we consult with HBOT professionals from the Veterinary Hyperbaric Association (VHA). HVM is the only current manufacturer veterinary hyperbaric chambers with a training protocol approved by the VHA. Every veterinarian and technician who will operate a chamber must go through a training session headed by a Certified Veterinary Technician-Veterinary (CHT-V). They then must pass an exam in order to be approved by HVM to operate the chamber. The safe and proper operation of the chamber is paramount to HVM, and HVM will continue to approve new staff members for FREE for as long as the chamber is in use at the facility.

Question 4

What indications can the veterinary hyperbaric chamber be used for?

Accepted Answer

In April 2012, DVM Newsmagazine put out a list of over 40 indications that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) was being used to successfully help animals. Today, veterinarians at HVM chamber-equipped facilities have successfully utilized the technology for over 150 indications as either a primary or adjunct form of treatment in over 200,000 cases worldwide.

Question 5

Does the chamber include a warranty or require any type of maintenance?

Accepted Answer

The veterinary facility is only responsible for basic, minimum monthly maintenance, e.g. keeping the chamber clean, greasing the door plates, etc. In addition, the chamber does require an annual service to be performed by an HVM technician.

Question 6

If a staff member requires assistance with the chamber, is there a number to call?

Accepted Answer

Yes, HVM’s main number (800-928-6886) features an “after hours” message system that directs your question to the appropriate on-call HVM officer so we can get you assistance in a timely manner
