O.S.C.A.R is an acronym for "Operating System for Control And Recording." It describes a computerized system is configured as a stand–alone unit that will operate, control and record whole-body hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments.

According to ETC, the FDA 510-k clears the way for the use of O.S.C.A.R., which the firm claims is the first stand alone computer hyperbaric oxygen control system intended for use as an ancillary device.

O.S.C.A.R. features a proprietary software system that allows hyperbaric technicians to program, manage, and reproduce the HBOT protocol with consistency and accuracy. The software is included in each of the firm’s BARA-MED computerized monoplace chambers.

Pennsylvania-based ETC Biomedical has been specialized in the field of hyperbaric chamber technology since 1971. It entered the clinical hyperbaric monoplace market in 1987, and has since been engaged in the development of computerized hyperbaric chambers and systems.
