Does anyone have any experience or references to info about the use of AICD in monoplace?  If the manufacturer has verified the safety of the AICD to the desired treatment depth (ie.2-3 ATA), are there fire/other hazards  that have prevented you from diving patients with AICD?  Does anyone know what brands of AICD have been tested?  If you have done HBOT Treatments on a patient with AICD in monoplace, was it your policy to deactivate the AICD before the treatment, and if so, what study/info was this based on?  Our MD had heard about a study using rabbits in which the firing of the AICD caused some type of spark to be emitted from the paws of the rabbit???

Thanks for any info that anyone may have

Also, the devices were not deactivated prior to treatment.

Check with the manufacturer and ask them to send you paperwork that shows what ATA they have been tested at and if they are safe.  Bottom line is, it's the decision of the medical director and or safety director.  We have had no issues treating patients at our facility.
