HERK: Hyperbaric Emergency Respiration Kit

February 09, 2026

In Hyperbaric environments, emergencies don’t always follow the rulebook
Most emergency procedures assume an occupant can wear a standard BIBS mask. In reality, that’s not always possible.

What if a DDC occupant is injured, unconscious, or otherwise unable to use a mask — inside the chamber?
That’s exactly why we developed the Hyperbaric Emergency Respirator Kit (HERK): the first emergency respirator kit designed specifically for hyperbaric applications in Deck Decompression Chambers.

Why the HERK makes the difference:
✔ Enables breathing when a mask cannot be used
✔ Allows assisted or artificial respiration
✔ Fully mechanical — always ready, no power required
✔ Compatible with standard BIBS connections

To support operators in strengthening their emergency preparedness, we are currently offering a special proposal for the HERK.
Interested in the offer or curious how HERK fits into your DDC emergency procedures?
