Southampton, PA, USA, February 27, 2013 - Environmental Tectonics Corporation
("ETC" or the "Company") BioMedical Systems Group has delivered and
installed
three BARA-MED® Select(TM) hyperbaric chambers to St. Vincent Charity Medical
Center, where medical professionals praised the computerized systems as "state-
of-the-art."
Director of Laboratory Medicine and Pulmonary Services Mario Markovic stated,
"We are extremely elated with the ETC chambers as they provide us with state-of-
the-art hyperbaric treatment. The size of the chambers allows comfort to the
patient as well as ease of operation for the staff. The convenience of storing
the gurney below the chamber is an additional perk and a space saver. The
computerized system makes operation of the chambers precise and convenient and
adds to our overall satisfaction. We would highly recommend ETC."
President of ETC BioMedical Systems Don Webber declared, "We offer the largest
computerized monoplace chamber in the world, improving patient comfort and
oxygen savings at the same time." The BARA-MED Select accommodates patients up
to 700 pounds and is the only monoplace chamber which provides a gurney garage
storage area for optimal use of space. The BARA-MED Select comes with
O.S.C.A.R.(TM) (Operating System for Control and Recordkeeping), an automatic
control system allowing for programmable treatment profiles; BARA·PRESS(TM), a
software control system; and SMOOTH-RIDE(TM), a pressure change technology that
enhances patient comfort, while reducing incidences of barotrauma by 67 percent,
ensuring more patients complete all treatment sessions.
