AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing systems for atmospheric therapies such as HBOT, IHHT, and EWOT lack a centralized control mechanism for oxygen delivery and fail to provide flexible oxygen concentration adjustments and pressure management, limiting their effectiveness and versatility.

Method used

A modular system with a central distribution unit (Nimrod Hub) integrates an oxygen concentrator and hypoxia generator, enabling flexible oxygen concentration switching and pressure management through internal mixing valves and booster pumps, along with a hyperbaric chamber that supports interval modes for enhanced therapy delivery.

Benefits of technology

The system provides flexible oxygen control and pressure management, enhancing the effectiveness and versatility of therapies like HBOT, IHHT, and EWOT by allowing precise adjustments and improved patient comfort and safety.

Description

[0001] Technical background: The invention relates to a modular system for controlling various atmospheric therapies (HBOT, IHHT, EWOT, hypoxic sleep) via a central distribution unit ("Nimrod Hub") using a common oxygen source.

[0002] Revelation: The system comprises a hub with inlets for an oxygen concentrator and a hypoxia generator. An internal mixing valve at the mask outlet allows switching between standard IHHT (35% O2) and HHT+ (up to 95% O2). For the hyperbaric chamber (HBOT), the hub enables two interval modes ("M-protocol"): 1. Eco-Interval: Use of a pressure equalization valve to mix compressed chamber air for oxygen dilution. 2. Pro-Interval: Use of an internal booster pump system to actively supply hypoxic air from the external generator into the mask under positive pressure. REFERENCE MARK LIST
