Direct answer
Shortlist manufacturers on two things first: whether their equipment fits your job, and whether they can service it where you are. A long product list or a big marketing presence doesn't prove installation support, parts access or response times. This directory shows what each source confirms and leaves the gaps in plain view.
Current research set
| Manufacturer | Captured equipment scope | Territory evidence | Public pricing evidence | Main evidence gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Artica Systems | Element, Vortex and Ethos electric systems | Captured US product and freight terms | Element USD 75,998; Vortex USD 97,498 / 97,998 conflict; Ethos USD 144,498 | Destination quote, contractor scope and service exclusions |
| CryoBuilt | Electric systems; Everest Essential and Elite packages | US network advertised; address-specific support unconfirmed | Everest calculator references USD 115,500 / 135,500 | Accepted cash quote, configuration, package warranty and throughput basis |
| CRYONiQ | Nitrogen XC / XC Plus and localized systems; other products have separate availability states | US catalog and territory-dependent support documents | XC from USD 36,750; XC Plus from USD 38,750 | Delivered package, local gas system, current warranty and service terms |
| MECOTEC | Electric whole-body and localized systems | US model pages and global support language | Quote required; cost-guide seller examples are not MECOTEC list prices | Current price, exact electrical version and service agreement |
| Cryo Innovations | Nitrogen XR Cryosauna and electric XR Cryo Kiosk | US positioning | Quote required | Configuration, operating envelope and warranty-transfer conflict |
| Cryomed / observed CryoMe pages | Legacy PRO Ultra; current Pro and One Ultra have distinct records | Official directory lists InfraCore Wellness in Kalispell, Montana | Quote required | Model identity, document revision and support at the buyer's address |
| CRYO Science | Electric e-Arctic / Glacier and nitrogen Arctic | US office and global positioning | Quote required | Current installation manual, temperature definitions and binding service scope |
The prices above are supplier publications, not matched installed quotes. Element, Vortex, Everest and CRYONiQ catalog prices were checked October 6, 2026; Ethos dates from October 1. The dated pricing ledger shows the evidence label for each.
Shortlist test
For each manufacturer, confirm the legal seller, the exact service territory, who installs, how commissioning and training work, who administers the warranty, where parts are held, preventive maintenance, the escalation path and what happens to support if a distributor changes. Where possible, ask for references who run the same model in your region.

Directory policy
Being listed is not an endorsement. A manufacturer gets a profile once its identity, relevant products and core support claims have usable evidence. Any ranking would need a published method and comparable coverage across makers. Commercial relationships are disclosed and never change how evidence is scored.
Separate maker, seller and service administrator
Write down three names, even if one company fills every role: who made the configuration (or serial) you're offered, the legal seller you pay, and who administers warranty and service. A dealer listing tells you about that dealer's offer; it doesn't change the manufacturer's own record.
Buying equipment and joining a branded business can also come with different obligations. The US Cryotherapy purchase page offers direct electric-equipment sales subject to franchise-territory conflicts. Read it as an example of a sales channel, not as a current OEM specification or a territory right that applies everywhere, and check those obligations before you commit to a site or lease.
Model configuration and document matrix
Product pages list cooling source, geometry and electrical configuration as separate facts, and this matrix keeps them separate. Use it to decide which documents to request; it is not an installation drawing or an operating approval. All rows were checked October 6, 2026. The Vortex electrical figures come from an earlier successful check that day, because a repeat retrieval timed out. Exact hardware revisions and serial-specific operating manuals are still unknown.
| Model / primary source | Cooling source | Geometry | Published electrical version | Operator evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Element | Electric | Door chamber; head position not established | 208-240 V, 1 phase; 60 Hz: 40 A / MCA 26 A; 50 Hz: 50 A / MCA 32 A | Supplier advertises no staff; applicable manual not reviewed |
| Vortex | Electric | Chamber; exact opening/head position not established | 208-240 V, 60 Hz; 1 phase MCA 50.1 A or 3 phases MCA 24.9 A; earlier checked specification | Supplier advertises no staff; applicable manual not reviewed |
| Ethos | Electric | Two-person door chamber; head position not established | 208-240 V, 60 Hz; 3 phases MCA 43.1 A or 1 phase MCA 88 A | Supplier advertises no staff; applicable manual not reviewed |
| Everest | Electric | Fully enclosed WBC chamber; exact head-position specification not established | Ambiguous published electrical string; exact drawing required | Not established in reviewed model document |
| XR Cryosauna | Liquid nitrogen | Open top; head and neck above enclosure | 110 V published; phase/frequency not established | Supplier requires certified operator for every session |
| CRYO XC | Liquid nitrogen | Cabin; door geometry/head position not established | 230 V, 50 Hz, minimum 16 A; 60 Hz compatibility claim | Training/certification stated; continuous presence not established here |
| CRYO XC Plus | Liquid nitrogen | Two-door cabin; head position not established | 230 V, 50 Hz, minimum 16 A; 60 Hz compatibility claim | Training/certification stated; continuous presence not established here |
| cryo:one+ | Electric | Two-person chamber | 380-400 V, 3 phases, 50 Hz, 32 A; US: 460 V, 3 phases, 60 Hz, 32 A | Not established in reviewed model document |
| cryoair flex | Electric | Modular single chamber for two users | 380-400 V, 3 phases, 50 Hz, 32 A; 460 V, 3 phases, 60 Hz, 32 A | Not established in reviewed model document |
| Arctic Performance | Nitrogen heat-exchange system | Adjustable window; WBC and PBC modes | 220-230 V, peak 13 A; phase/frequency not established | Not established in reviewed model document |
| Glacier Performance | Electric | Single-person WBC chamber with window | 400 V, 3 phases, 50/60 Hz; US 208 V, 60 Hz with voltage booster; US phase not established | Not established in reviewed model document |
| e-Arctic Performance | Electric | Fully enclosed WBC with separate machinery; includes head/neck in supplier description | 400 V, 50 Hz, 30 A; 208 V, 60 Hz, 60 A; phase/territory not established | Not established in reviewed model document |
One trap: Artica's Ethos promotional wording quotes 34 RLA for a single-phase offering, while the detailed single-phase specification lists MCA 88 A. Both labels are kept because they measure different things, and neither tells you actual daily kWh.
The operator column draws on the Artica chamber category, the CRYONiQ operator-training guide and the Cryo Innovations FAQ, checked October 6, 2026. None of them replaces the applicable operating manual or a local determination.
A live product page shows that a model is offered, not that it's in stock, how long delivery takes or who supports it locally. Two rows need extra care: Arctic's adjustable window changes the user geometry, and the nitrogen XR Cryosauna and electric XR Kiosk are separate models. Take the exact configuration into the installation checklist, and use the cost comparison only once the delivered service is matched.
Read certificate scope before using a badge
A published certificate copy shows the named product, the issue date and the printed expiry. It doesn't show whether the certificate is still live with the issuer, whether it covers every product in the brand, the current US configuration or a signed purchase warranty. We visually reviewed the following Cryomed copies on October 6, 2026, from the official quality page.
| Named model in published copy | Certificate / issue | Issue date | Printed expiry | Applicability still to confirm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cryomed Pro / One copy | 231299387 / Issue 1 | 2023-12-11 | 2026-12-10 | Variant scope tied to report 230500333; current CryoMe model mapping and US configuration unknown |
| IceChill / HorseCryo / PetCryo copy | 231299278 / Issue 1 | 2023-10-09 | 2026-10-08 | Renewal and mapping to current IceChill / e-IceChill unknown |
| Cryomed Basic / Mini copy | 221299197 / Issue 1 | 2022-06-21 | 2025-06-20 | Printed expiry predates this review; renewal/current model mapping unknown |
| Cryofan CF-04 / CF-04M copy | 221299373 / Issue 1 | 2022-11-11 | 2025-11-10 | Printed expiry predates this review; renewal/current Cryofan mapping unknown |
The Pro/One copy itself says that production-process control and certification-body surveillance are outside its scope. And an expired published copy doesn't prove there was no renewal. Ask for the current applicable document and which models it maps to before treating any copy as current coverage.
CRYONiQ's XC / XC Plus quality page refers to FDA 513(g); we haven't obtained the underlying letter, its date or current revision. The FDA describes the 513(g) process as a request for information, and its response is not a clearance or approval. That general point doesn't tell you what a particular supplier's letter says.
Sources and limitations
The directory combines earlier research with October 6, 2026 checks of the CRYONiQ US catalog, Everest, MECOTEC cryo:one+, CRYO Science e-Arctic, CryoMe Pro and CryoMe distributor directory. A named US office or listed representative doesn't establish technician availability, parts stock or a response time for your ZIP code.
The legacy Cryomed Pro URL now redirects to a CryoMe Pro page. Neither the redirect nor the legal name in the footer proves that every legacy model, contract or specification carried over unchanged, so the original model name, the current page and the exact document revision are kept apart. The historical image on the nitrogen category page keeps its date and attribution.
Cryo Innovations lists the nitrogen XR Cryosauna and the electric XR Cryo Kiosk separately; a staffing claim about the Kiosk doesn't carry over to the nitrogen machine. Public brochures such as the CRYONiQ XC document add model evidence but don't replace the current installation manual or a signed contract. Independent testing and service confirmation for a buyer's address are still incomplete.
