A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed cabin with air pressure above the surrounding atmosphere. Each chamber pressurizes air. Oxygen is supplied separately through a headset or mask: 93% with 5 or 10 L/min configurations for portables; 93% ±3% at 10 L/min for rigid chambers. Pressure depends on the model. Echelon builds the environment and makes no claims about outcomes.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
The questions that shape your choice.
Soft or rigid. Home or studio. Space, power, delivery, and support. Start with the practical questions, then match the chamber to the room you recover in.
CABIN & LOGISTICS
Match the cabin to your room.
Quietus, Meridian, Solace, and Atlas are soft-shell portables, delivered by freight for placement and connection per the manufacturer manual. Vespers and Cirrus use stainless steel; Nimbus is a seated carbon-steel chamber. All three include technician installation. Pressure is specific to each model. Soft versus hard is a cabin and logistics choice.
Personal medical questions belong with your clinician. Echelon builds the environment and makes no claims about outcomes.

What pressure means here
What it is
A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed cabin with air pressure above the surrounding atmosphere. ATA means atmospheres absolute. Standard sea-level pressure is 1.0 ATA.
Why it matters
The ATA figure specifies the environment inside the cabin. It helps you compare models beyond their appearance.
How it fits your practice
You can choose a defined pressure and cabin for the room you recover in, with the model’s operating requirements explained before first use.
Air in the cabin. An optional oxygen mask.
What it is
Each chamber pressurizes air. Oxygen is supplied separately through a headset or mask: 93% with 5 or 10 L/min configurations for portables; 93% ±3% at 10 L/min for rigid chambers. Pressure depends on the model.
Why it matters
Cabin pressure and mask oxygen are separate specifications. Together they describe the equipment you are considering, not a clinical treatment protocol.
How it fits your practice
You have a sealed, pressurized-air environment with mask oxygen as an option for your existing practice. Cirrus and Nimbus are not UHMS-protocol HBOT.
Why models list different ATA
What it is
Quietus, Solace, and Atlas each offer 1.3 or 1.5 ATA configurations. Meridian lists 1.3 or 1.4 ATA. Vespers lists 1.5 ATA. Cirrus is 2.0 ATA lying; Nimbus is 2.0 ATA seated.
Why it matters
Soft versus rigid is a choice about cabin construction and logistics. Vespers and Cirrus use stainless steel; Nimbus uses carbon steel and a polycarbonate door.
How it fits your practice
Choose posture, entry, and setup around your room. Portables arrive for setup per the manufacturer manual. All three rigid models include technician installation.
A short note on physics
What it is
At a constant temperature and gas concentration, higher pressure allows more gas to dissolve in liquid. This is Henry’s law.
Why it matters
The physical principle explains why pressure matters. It does not establish a health benefit from a particular chamber.
How it fits your practice
You can understand the specification while keeping personal medical questions with your clinician. Published research is available separately, with its protocols and limitations.
How it fits the practice you already have
What it is
A still, built-to-order chamber for home, studio, or private clinic. The room you recover in describes the setting, not a measured result.
Why it matters
The chamber should fit your space and the way you will actually use it, from entry and posture to equipment placement.
How it fits your practice
You get a defined pressurized-air environment, optional mask oxygen, a first-use briefing with Echelon, and lifetime support from a dedicated contact.

UNDERSTANDING THE ENVIRONMENT
A little more clarity. Before you step inside.
What ATA means
ATA stands for atmospheres absolute. It expresses pressure relative to standard atmospheric pressure. Model specifications list the operating pressure for each chamber.
Pressure and oxygen are different
The cabin contains pressurized air. Oxygen is supplied separately through a headset or mask: 93% for portables and 93% ±3% for rigid chambers. Flow is 5 or 10 L/min for portables and 10 L/min for rigid chambers. Matching a research protocol’s pressure does not mean matching its oxygen exposure, duration, or clinical supervision.
Start with an informed conversation
Discuss personal suitability with a qualified healthcare provider. Ask the studio about the model, installation requirements, equipment, and operating documentation.
Consider a dedicated place in your home, the available floor space, and whether a sitting or lying configuration suits the room.
The wellness studio
Plan around access, the equipment footprint, the surrounding environment, and the way the chamber will be supported.
The performance space
Bring your training environment and practical requirements into the conversation, without assuming a particular result from a chamber.
The private clinic
Discuss your professional requirements, staffing, supervision, and the exact model documentation before selecting a configuration.
A SHORT HISTORY
An old idea, returned to the home.
1662
The first pressurized room is built in England, called a domicilium — a house inside a house.
1800s
Physicians and engineers in France and Canada construct steel chambers and pressurized drawing rooms.
1930s
Chambers move into industrial and maritime use.
2000s
Lighter laminates and oil-free compressors make chambers more practical for a room at home.
Now
Echelon designs chambers for the home, the studio, and the private clinic.
