INSERTING THE MAT After you deflate the chamber you will want to place the tri-fold mat inside the chamber.
Page 29
INFLATING Make sure both the inside and the outside zippers are completely closed each time the chamber is in use. Failure to do this may result in damage to the chamber.
Page 30
INFLATING If the relief valve does not release air when it is at full pressure, stop your treatment and call your distributor. The compressor must remain on for the entire treatment period to ensure the circulation and exchange of fresh air, which provides a safe and comfortable treatment.
DURING TREATMENT As the chamber begins to inflate, you may notice added pressure on the ears. This feeling indicates the need to equalize the pressure. The pressure feeling is similar to that of landing in an airplane. This pressure is relieved through the Eustachian tube. There are several methods for relieving this pressure.
Page 32
DURING TREATMENT The first, is the Valsavla maneuver. Pinch your nose, close your mouth and try gently blowing out your nose. Repeat every time you begin to feel that pressure Yawning or opening your mouth wide will also help. Lastly, chewing gum may help relieve this pressure. If the above suggestions do not resolve the ear pressure, open the red relief knob until the feeling of pressure is gone.
Page 33
DURING TREATMENT WHAT TO WEAR You may wear any type of clothing in the chamber; however, comfortable and soft clothing is typically used. Do not wear shoes inside the chamber.
Page 34
DURING TREATMENT WHAT TO BRING INTO THE CHAMBER Feel free to bring food, drinks, books and personal computers, DVD players or any other form of entertainment into the chamber. It may also be helpful to have your cell phone with you. We ask that you refrain from bringing in sharp objects such as forks or knives.
Page 35
REMINDERS REMEMBER THESE IMPORTANT STEPS Be sure both zippers are completely closed. Do not open the zipper until the gauge reads zero. The compressors must be running during the whole time of treatment. The relief valve must be releasing air when the chamber is at full pressure.

CHAMBER CARE ZIPPERS The outside zipper requires no maintenance. Periodically, wipe the outside open zipper with a damp cloth.
Page 38
CHAMBER CARE On occasion the inside airtight zipper requires Tzip silicone lubricant.The chamber comes with this Tzip silicone to lubricate the docks where the zipper triggers are secured. It is necessary to keep this dock lubricated. Squeeze a small amount of the silicone onto your finger and spread it out on the dock.

Page 51
IMPORTANT TO READ CAUTIONS CAUTION: Federal law requires this device for sale by or on the order of a physician. CAUTION: Do not inflate the chamber with only pure oxygen; use the compressor provided. It is designed to work safely with the chamber. CAUTION: Inspect all seams and fittings prior to use to ensure they are secure.
Page 52
IMPORTANT TO READ WARNING: In the unlikely event that there is a rapid decompression, the individual inside the chamber must EXHALE. Please make sure that each individual receiving treatment understands this precaution. WARNING: Do not replace the compressor with any other model. The chamber is designed to work specifically with the compressor provided.
Page 53
IMPORTANT TO READ Pressure Regulation Valves (Relief Valves) Summit to Sea Chambers utilizes redundant pressure regulation valves. These are factory programmed to ensure a steady, constant pressure. During treatment, there will be a steady flow of fresh air through the chamber. For proper operation, the air compressor is to be running throughout the entire treatment.
Page 54
IMPORTANT TO READ Compressor- Ultra quiet compressors provide patented sound suppression which permits a restful and relaxing dive experience. These highly compact compressors are designed for continuous operation providing you with a longlasting solution to hyperbaric pressurization needs. This compressor is small and compact making it easy to transport. With its small carbon footprint, this compressor will easily integrate into your environment.
Page 55
IMPORTANT TO READ Valves-The Grand Dive has three pressure release valves to ensure a safe and comfortable operation. This redundancy assures your safety. The Shallow and the Dive have two release valves. Windows-The window has a five layer, one firm acrylic layer between four vinyl layers to ensure a long lasting, permanent seal.
Page 56
IMPORTANT TO READ USE CARE to avoid the use of any sharp objects that may penetrate the walls of the chamber. WARNING: Never take a treatment alone. Always have someone outside the chamber to assist you. CLEAN the inside of the chamber with a soft, damp microfiber cloth provided after each use.
Page 57
IMPORTANT TO READ Be sure to swallow often during the pressurization process. If you cannot clear your ears, have the individual helping you temporarily stop the compressor until the pressure in your ears releases. Once the chamber is at full pressure, you will hear the “hissing” of the exhaust valves. This is important as it will prevent CO2 build up.
Page 58
IMPORTANT TO READ FDA 510K CLEARANCE Portable Mild Hyperbaric Chambers are Class II Medical Devices. They meet the FDA 510(k) Specifications. The chamber has been cleared by the FDA for the treatment of Acute High Altitude Sickness. FDA WARNING Increasing the percentages of oxygen content in the air delivery is considered the same as administering a drug under FDA regulations.
