Short answer: They do different jobs. A hyperbaric chamber raises the air pressure around you. An oxygen concentrator takes in room air and outputs oxygen-enriched air, and the listings we carry state outputs of about 90 to 97% at 10 L/min. An oxygen mask delivers that oxygen at normal room pressure. Many home chambers pair a chamber, a compressor and a concentrator, so you may need all three working together.

What each does

Device What it does What it does not do
Hyperbaric chamber Holds a raised pressure, such as 1.3 ATA, around you Does not make oxygen by itself
Air compressor Fills a soft chamber to pressure Does not concentrate oxygen
Oxygen concentrator Separates room air to give oxygen-enriched air (listings state 90 to 97% at 10 L/min) Does not raise pressure around you
Oxygen mask Delivers oxygen-enriched air to your face at normal pressure Does not create pressure or oxygen

How home chambers combine them

  • OxyRevo, Macy-Pan, Oxyair: listings include a concentrator or an integrated unit that combines the compressor and concentrator.
  • Newtowne: states the chamber is pressurized with air, never with oxygen, and lists a concentrator as optional.

Never pressurize a chamber with pure oxygen unless the manufacturer's manual says that is how it is designed to work. Fire risk is real in oxygen-enriched spaces. See hyperbaric chamber safety.

Which one do you need?

  • If you want raised pressure: a chamber and a compressor.
  • If your chamber does not include oxygen: a concentrator that matches the manufacturer's flow and pressure specification.
  • If you only need oxygen at normal pressure: a concentrator and mask, which is a different product from a chamber and has different regulatory considerations. Talk to your physician.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use any oxygen concentrator with my chamber?

Only one that meets the manufacturer's stated flow and pressure. Newtowne, for example, recommends a 10 L unit run at 7 to 9 LPM.

Is a concentrator alone the same as a chamber?

No. A concentrator changes the oxygen content of the air you breathe. A chamber changes the pressure around you.

A hyperbaric chamber is a pressurized, oxygen-enriched environment. Use only as directed in the manufacturer's manual, keep flames, sparks and heat sources away, and consult a physician before use. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.
