SOUTHAMPTON, Pa., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Environmental Tectonics Corporation’s (“ETC” or the “Company”) Biomedical Systems Division today announced the placement of two (2) BARA-MED XD computerized monoplace hyperbaric oxygen chambers at Blue Mountain Health System Hyperbaric and Wound Care Center, Lehighton, PA.
All of ETC’s monoplace hyperbaric chambers contain a fourth generation, automated control system called O.S.C.A.R.(TM), (Operating System for Control And Recordkeeping). Among its many features, O.S.C.A.R.(TM) includes a patient friendly pressure-change technology known as SMOOTH-RIDE(TM). SMOOTH-RIDE(TM) reduces the risk of complications due to middle ear and sinus barotraumas during compression. During decompression, SMOOTH-RIDE(TM) reduces the risk of air trapping in cases of potential obstructive or restrictive pulmonary conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and emphysema. SMOOTH-RIDE(TM) achieves these important risk reductions without having to increase the times of the pressure changes.
Bob Salmons, NE Regional Sales Manager, commented that, “Customers are purchasing ETC chambers because they demand both the quality and technology that only ETC provides.”
