I am choosing an equipment type
Whole-body chambers, localized systems, cryofacial devices and cryolipolysis platforms share the word "cryo" but do different jobs. Start by deciding which job you need done.

the cold.
The machine is the beginning.
Understand the technology, the installation
and what ownership really involves.

Commercial equipment / Buying guide
Commercial cryotherapy equipment, researched around the buying decision.
The chamber price is only one line in the budget. Opening the room, keeping the machine running and getting a technician on site when it fails can matter just as much. This guide helps you price and check all of it before you commit.

How to read the evidence labels
Prices, specifications and service terms change, so each one is shown with who published it and when we checked it. A manufacturer's specification describes that manufacturer's model, not the whole category. A dealer price is one dated observation, not a market average. Every calculated result shows its inputs and formula.
Four labels appear throughout the site.
Verified field
Supported by a current source for the named product.
Supplier claim
Stated by the supplier and not yet confirmed independently or in a contract.
Quote only
The seller does not publish a current amount.
Unknown
The sources we reviewed do not answer the question.

| Requirement area | Your notes | Key questions to ask suppliers |
|---|---|---|
| Product and price | Exact model, configuration, currency | Cash equipment price; quote validity; tax treatment |
| Delivery and installation | Site survey, utilities, delivery path | Freight, rigging, electrical work and commissioning included |
| Training and launch | People, format, travel | Training format, documentation and launch support |
| Warranty and service | Coverage, response, exclusions | Parts, labor, technician travel and service after warranty |
| Financing | Term, fees, ownership | Total payments, buyout and early payoff conditions |
Site planning
Check the room before you choose the machine
Delivery route, electrical service, heat rejection or gas storage can rule out a model before price even matters. The site checklist turns the chosen model's written requirements into questions for your landlord, contractors and supplier. Generic room advice never overrides the current installation manual or local code.

Choose your starting point
Start with the question you need answered first.
I need a realistic budget
Begin with dated public prices, then add freight, site work, training, service, electricity or nitrogen, insurance and financing. Any cost a supplier hasn't confirmed stays marked as unknown rather than zero.

Turn the chosen model's requirements into specific questions for your landlord, electrician, HVAC contractor, fire authority and supplier.

Put both quotes into the same format so you can see cash price, payment schedule, delivery, installation, commissioning, training, warranty labor, travel, service response and exclusions side by side.
Copy the quote worksheetRequirements brief
Write down what the equipment must do
The brief below turns your plans into a document a supplier can answer line by line: what the equipment has to do, which room and staff it must fit, what each quote includes, what the site needs and which claims are still unconfirmed.
Fill in what you know and write "unknown" for the rest. You can download it as a text file, or as a supplier request that lists the open questions.
Questions to close before paying a deposit
A list of documents and answers to collect - not an installation or operating procedure. The details depend on the exact equipment and territory.
Ask the supplier
- Identify the exact model, revision, included options and intended use in the installation country.
- Provide a dated itemized quote with validity, taxes, freight, payment milestones, cancellation terms and acceptance criteria.
- Provide the exact model manual and written site requirements, not a generic sales brochure.
- State commissioning, training, warranty exclusions, spare-parts availability and service coverage in your territory.
Check the site and local requirements
- Ask the landlord and qualified local specialists what permits, utilities, access and occupancy constraints apply to this specific installation.
- Obtain a site survey and quotations for excluded site work before committing to the machine.
- Confirm who approves the completed installation and what evidence of acceptance will be retained.
Check the service and commercial terms
- Identify who supplies consumables and who responds to equipment faults in the installation territory.
- Confirm parts, labor, travel, after-hours support, response targets and costs after warranty in writing.
- For finance or rental, record total payments, fees, title, buyout, early termination and return obligations.
- Keep unanswered questions assigned to a named party; do not infer agreement from silence.
Current research coverage
The research set covers electric and nitrogen whole-body systems from Artica Systems, CryoBuilt, Cryo Innovations, CRYONiQ, MECOTEC, Cryomed and CRYO Science. Coverage is uneven: a model can be in the set and still lack a confirmed price, installation manual, warranty detail or US service commitment. Those gaps are shown, not filled in.
No product is placed higher because it pays a commission. If a commercial relationship is ever approved, it will be disclosed next to the relevant link and on the affiliate disclosure page.
A practical order of work
