What this hyperbaric therapy permit template includes

The application is organized into logical sections that mirror regulatory requirements:

Facility and operator information establishes the legal entity applying for the permit, including business registration details, facility location, ownership structure, and contact information for responsible parties.

Chamber certification and equipment documentation captures detailed specifications for all hyperbaric chambers, including manufacturer information, serial numbers, maximum operating pressure, chamber type (monoplace vs. multiplace), FDA clearance numbers, ASME pressure vessel certification, most recent inspection dates, and maintenance records. This section ensures all equipment meets established safety standards.

Pressure protocols and treatment parameters documents your facility's clinical protocols, including pressure ranges for different conditions, treatment duration standards, compression and decompression rates, oxygen delivery methods, and protocols for different depth equivalents. These details demonstrate clinical competency and patient safety planning.

Safety measures and emergency procedures covers fire suppression systems, oxygen monitoring equipment, communication systems within chambers, emergency decompression protocols, staff training requirements, patient safety procedures, and coordination with local emergency services. This comprehensive safety documentation is critical for permit approval.

Medical oversight and staffing identifies the medical director overseeing HBOT services, their credentials and hyperbaric medicine training, supervising physicians, certified hyperbaric technicians, nurse staffing, and the reporting structure that ensures proper clinical oversight.

Patient screening and clinical protocols outlines your procedures for patient evaluation, contraindication screening, informed consent processes, pre-treatment assessments, and documentation standards that protect patient safety.
