HBOT Chambers & Systems from Pan-America Hyperbarics
Pan-America Hyperbarics (PAHI) is a US manufacturer of monoplace and multiplace hyperbaric oxygen chambers and a hyperbaric ventilator. Its regulatory record is largely register-verified: four FDA 510(k) clearances - three chamber systems plus the VersalVent V1 ventilator - are confirmed in the FDA database, while its ASME, NFPA 99 and FDA quality-system claims remain manufacturer-stated. Pricing and chamber warranty terms are not published.
Company & Products
Pan-America Hyperbarics (PAHI) is a hyperbaric chamber manufacturer based in the USA. Its validated catalog covers monoplace and multiplace chambers: documented operating pressures across the line range from 3 to 6 ATA, and documented capacity runs from a single person up to 12, the top figure sourced from the PAH-M10+2 specification page. The company also makes the VersalVent Model V1, a hyperbaric ventilator with its own FDA clearance.
One point where sources disagree, on the manufacturer's own site: the products overview describes the PAH-S1-3800 as a 38-inch-diameter monoplace chamber, while the model's own product page calls it a multiplace chamber. HBOT-Wiki conservatively treats it as part of the monoplace S1 series; the catalog's overall mono/multi split is unaffected, since the PAH-M10+2 is an unambiguous multiplace.
Certifications & Verification
Four FDA 510(k) clearances are register-verified against the FDA's 510(k) database: K021693 for the PAH-S1 monoplace chamber, K021689 for the PAH-M10+2 multiplace, K021690 for the PAH-M3+1 multiplace, and K122560 for the VersalVent V1 ventilator. These are confirmed regulatory records, not marketing claims.
The remaining compliance items are manufacturer-stated and not independently verified: ASME BPVC Section VIII Div. 1 and ASME PVHO-1 pressure vessel codes, NFPA 99 compliance, and operation under the FDA 21 CFR Part 820 Quality System Regulation. These claims appear only in the company's own materials; no public register confirms them.
Service, Warranty & References
PAHI states that it designs, fabricates, assembles, tests and installs its chambers itself, and offers maintenance, education and training services. The stated service area is worldwide - a manufacturer claim - with one caveat the company publishes itself: not all products are licensed for sale in Canada.
Warranty transparency is limited. A 12-month manufacturer warranty is published for the VersalVent V1 ventilator only; warranty terms for the chambers themselves are not published. No pricing is published either.
Two named clinical references appear on the company website: Ontario Wound Care Inc. (Ron Linden, MD, Medical Director) and Gordon Hospital (Charlotte Brooks, RN, BSN, CHS). Both are manufacturer-published references, not independently verified.
Who It Suits
The dossier contains no target-market or intended-use statements, so any placement here is an inference from the validated specifications alone. Those specifications - monoplace and multiplace chambers only, operating pressures of 3 to 6 ATA, capacity from 1 to 12 persons - point toward professional treatment settings rather than private home use; a 12-person chamber is facility-scale equipment by capacity alone. Buyers should confirm intended use and siting requirements with the manufacturer.
No soft-sided or mild-HBOT products appear in the validated data, so wellness studios or private buyers looking for portable low-pressure chambers would need to look elsewhere. Canadian buyers should verify licensing for the specific model first, per the company's own notice.
Every data point on this profile is source-checked. Certifications are only marked as verified when confirmed in official registers - never on manufacturer claims alone.
