MACY-PAN 2202 Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Installation at Leopoldina Hospital in Germany
A MACY-PAN 2202 hyperbaric oxygen chamber was installed at Leopoldina Hospital in Schweinfurt, Germany. Located within the hospital’s Department of Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology, the chamber supports selected services coordinated with the department’s existing radiotherapy-related workflows.
About the Leopoldina Radiation Oncology Project
Leopoldina Hospital is located in Schweinfurt, Germany. The project was implemented within its Department of Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology, where most radiotherapy services are provided on an outpatient basis.
The department offers hyperbaric oxygen as a complementary service in selected radiotherapy cases. Its medical team determines whether the service is appropriate for each patient and coordinates it with the existing treatment schedule. The installation therefore supports a defined departmental workflow rather than operating as a separate general-purpose HBOT service. Leopoldina Department of Radiotherapy Leopoldina HBOT Service

Why the Hospital Added Hyperbaric Oxygen Support
Leopoldina Hospital added hyperbaric oxygen support to provide selected patients with an additional service coordinated by its Department of Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology. The chamber allows one patient to use the service at a time, supporting individual scheduling, staff observation and controlled operation within the department’s existing workflow.
Delayed radiation injury can involve reduced tissue oxygenation and impaired tissue recovery. Hyperbaric oxygen may be considered by qualified medical professionals as one part of a broader treatment plan for selected patients. The hospital’s medical team evaluates each case and determines whether and how the service should be coordinated with radiotherapy-related care.
The UHMS includes delayed radiation injury involving soft tissue or bone in its hyperbaric oxygen indications. This clinical reference provides background for professional evaluation; it does not demonstrate treatment outcomes from the Leopoldina installation or from the MACY-PAN 2202 itself.

Key Chamber Requirements for the Radiation Oncology Department
The chamber needed to support individual patient scheduling, controlled daily operation and integration with the department’s existing clinical workflow. The project review focused on the following requirements.
For departments arranging one patient at a time, a monoplace hyperbaric oxygen chamber can provide a clearer session schedule and a configuration focused on individual use.
Single-Patient Session Arrangement
The monoplace chamber allows the department to schedule one patient at a time according to individual assessment and appointment arrangements.
Horizontal Chamber Access
The horizontal configuration supports sessions in a lying position. Entry and patient transfer arrangements should be assessed according to the chamber opening, support platform and the patient’s mobility needs.
Clear Patient Observation
Clinical staff need to maintain appropriate visual observation and communication with the patient throughout the session. The applicable observation and communication systems should be confirmed against the final chamber configuration.
Controlled Pressure Operation
Chamber pressure must be managed according to the model-specific operating documents, hospital procedures and protocols established by qualified professionals.
The required operating pressure should be confirmed from the intended use, chamber capability, operating protocol and applicable project requirements. Learn more about hyperbaric chamber operating pressure before specifying an ATA level.
Fit with the Available Treatment Room
Before installation, the hospital needed to review room dimensions, delivery access, electrical supply, ventilation, equipment clearances and the space required for routine maintenance.
Staff Training and Daily Checks
Safe daily operation requires trained staff and defined procedures for pre-use inspection, cleaning, operating records, routine maintenance and safety management.
Why the MACY-PAN 2202 Was Selected
The MACY-PAN 2202 is a horizontal monoplace hyperbaric chamber designed for one user per session. For the Leopoldina radiation oncology department, this configuration matched its need to arrange individual sessions around patient assessments, outpatient appointments and the existing departmental workflow.
The 2202 series is available in multiple internal diameters and supports operating pressures up to 2.0 ATA, depending on the selected configuration. Its transparent chamber body supports external patient observation, while the external control system allows staff to manage chamber operation and monitor system status. Supporting oxygen, air and control systems are configured according to the project’s operating and installation requirements.
The monoplace format was selected because it suited the department’s one-patient scheduling model and available treatment environment—not because a single-user chamber is inherently more advanced than other chamber types.
The installed chamber’s operating pressure, internal diameter, oxygen supply and control configuration must be confirmed against the Leopoldina project order before these details are published.
The hospital selected the MACY-PAN 2202 hyperbaric oxygen chamber as a single-user horizontal configuration that could be arranged around individual sessions and the available treatment-room space.
Chamber selection should also consider operating pressure, user capacity, room dimensions, delivery access and daily session requirements. Review our guide on how to choose a hyperbaric chamber before comparing models.
How the Chamber Supports the Hospital’s Existing Services
The MACY-PAN 2202 gives Leopoldina Hospital an additional hyperbaric oxygen support service within its Department of Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology. The hospital’s qualified medical team determines whether the service is appropriate for each patient and coordinates individual chamber sessions with the department’s existing appointment schedule.
As a monoplace chamber, the 2202 supports one patient per session, allowing use to be arranged according to individual assessment and departmental workflow. Medical staff remain responsible for patient selection, session planning, monitoring and follow-up evaluation.
Hyperbaric oxygen serves as a complementary option within the hospital’s broader care pathway. It does not replace radiotherapy, surgery, medication or other standard medical care. No patient outcome or operational performance data have been attributed to this installation without verified records from Leopoldina Hospital.
