How it works
From water to your breath: how VIVAIR Pro works
VIVAIR Pro produces hydrogen and oxygen from purified water, on demand and without cylinders. You breathe it through a nasal cannula while you rest.
What molecular hydrogen is
The smallest molecule there is
It is the smallest molecule there is: two hydrogen atoms bonded together (H2). VIVAIR produces it from purified water, on demand and without cylinders.
How it generates it
PEM electrolysis: from water to two separate gases
Through PEM electrolysis: a proton exchange membrane splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. Each gas comes out of its own outlet, so you always know what you are breathing.
- 01
Purified water in the tank
Reverse-osmosis or distilled, with TDS ≤30 ppm. It is the device's raw material, not drinking water.
- 02
The membrane splits the molecule
The electric current splits water (H2O) into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2).
- 03
Each gas comes out of its outlet
1,200 ml/min of hydrogen and 600 ml/min of oxygen, through separate outlets.
- 04
It reaches your cannula
A light tube that rests on your nose. You breathe normally.
What 1,200 ml/min means
Figures to compare, not adjectives
It is the amount of hydrogen the device produces every minute. We state it clearly so you can compare with figures, not adjectives.
- 1,200
- ml/min of hydrogen
- 600
- ml/min of oxygen
- 1.800
- ml/min of total flow
- 2
- people at a time
Why separate outlets
You always know what you are breathing
Hydrogen and oxygen come out of separate outlets, so you choose what to breathe: hydrogen only, oxygen only or both together with a T cannula (Brown's gas). Each person connects their own cannula, which is why two people can use it at the same time.
A session step by step
Five steps, from filling the tank to finishing
- 01
Check the water level
The side windows show it at a glance.
- 02
Put on your cannula
Each person uses their own.
- 03
Choose the time
From the touchscreen, in your language.
- 04
Breathe normally in a ventilated room
Read, listen to music or close your eyes.
- 05
When it finishes, the device stops by itself
Remove the cannula and store it as the manual explains.
To avoid any confusion
What VIVAIR Pro is and what it isn't
- A home wellbeing device that generates hydrogen and oxygen for you to breathe
- For one or two people at a time
- A water purifier: it does not produce drinking water
- An oxygen concentrator or a humidifier
- A medical device
