The FDA has approved hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for specific medical conditions, and marketing a hyperbaric chamber for any indication not listed and not cleared through the 510(K) clearance process is considered off-label and illegal.

Some of the conditions for which HBOT is FDA-approved include: carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, and wounds that won't heal.
