Question 1

Are there different types of hydrogen inhalers?

Accepted Answer

There are three types of Hydrogen inhalers:

"A. Hydrogen only", 
"B. Hydrogen + oxygen"
"C. Hydrogen + air",

Our inhaler falls under "A. Hydrogen only".

Question 2

Is there a way to determine the performance of a hydrogen inhaler?

Accepted Answer

What is important in terms of performance is the "purity ( or concentration) of the hydrogen generated" and the "amount of hydrogen generated", which can be confirmed and certified objectively from third-party organisations. Our machine has a concentration of 99.995% Hydrogen and is able to generate 150cc/min ± 5% fluctuation.

Question 3

Do Hydrogen Inhalers need servicing?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogen Inhalers use electrolysis to generate Hydrogen gas from distilled water. Eventually, the purity of the Hydrogen produced decreases due to corrosion. Our machine will display a message when it is time to have the machine serviced. At Yanagi, we are able to offer this service for £720. You simply send the machine back by registered delivery and we will take care of the rest.

Question 4

"ppm" is sometimes used to indicate performance, but what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

ppm indicates a ratio or proportion, in parts per million. 10,000ppm is equivalent to 1%. A product labelled with "600,000 ppm hydrogen" means that 60% of the gas generated is Hydrogen. Our machine is able to generate 995,000ppm, which is 99.995% pure Hydrogen.

Question 5

Does the price of hydrogen inhalers correlate to better performance?

Accepted Answer

When comparing hydrogen inhalers, many people seem to think that "the more expensive the better," or "the larger the device, the better.'" But this is not necessarily the case. Always check the performance and ease of use at home. Other important things to consider is warranty and after sales support.

Question 6

Are hydrogen inhalers certified as a medical device?

Accepted Answer

In the UK, as hydrogen inhalation is a new type of therapy, it is not yet considered a medical device, and therefore cannot be certified as such. Even so, it is important to ensure that the machine has UKCA or CE accreditation. At Yanagi, we have obtained both certification.
