Why installation, training and service are part of the same conversation
A chamber that is well-built but poorly installed will underperform. A unit that is well-installed but whose operators are not trained will be unsafe. A program that is well-trained but unsupported by service will degrade. Treating these three as separate vendors creates handoff risk. OHB integrates them into one project owned by one technical team.
This applies as much in a hospital in Lima as it does in a clinic in the US or a referral center in Europe — with the difference that for international projects we coordinate with qualified local partners.
Installation and commissioning
Each chamber is installed with a documented commissioning protocol: positioning, gas-line connections, electrical hookups, instrumentation calibration, leak tests, pressure cycling tests, alarm verification and treatment-profile validation. The commissioning record is delivered as part of the project package.
- Documented commissioning protocol
- Calibration of instrumentation
- Leak and pressure-cycling tests
- Alarm verification and contingency drills
- Operator console validation
- Delivery of the as-installed documentation set
Training scope and audiences
Training covers multiple audiences: attending clinical leadership, nursing, operator technicians, biomedical engineering and institutional safety committees. The content is calibrated to each role and based on the chamber as installed. Documented protocols and reference materials stay with the institution.
Service plans and lifecycle support
Service plans are calibrated to operational intensity: quarterly preventive for high-volume programs, semestral for standard clinical use, annual for moderate operation, plus correctives under contracted response times. Critical-parts stocking strategies are defined per project.
International project coordination
For projects outside Peru we coordinate installation, commissioning, training and service through qualified local partners or directly, depending on the project scope and partner capability. The technical responsibility remains with OHB; local execution leverages partner proximity.
