Section 7: Traveling
Before traveling, be sure to pack the following:
› Accessory Bag
› Carry Bag
› AC Power Supply
› DC Power Cord
› Fully Charged Battery (and extra batteries if required)
› User Manual
Also, bring contact information for your healthcare provider, authorized dealer
and/or physician.
When traveling internationally, an applicable standard international power plug
adapter is required.
Please note that many air carriers require prior notification (usually at least
48 hours) for passengers traveling with portable oxygen concentrators.
In addition, carriers may also require advanced submission of a medical
verification statement from your physician. You should confirm any notification
and verification requirement with your specific carrier.
Not all air carriers provide an electrical outlet aboard the aircraft, so you should
have sufficient batteries (or a confirmed alternative power source) to account for
at least 150% of your total travel time, including, but not limited to: (A)
commuting time to and from the airport; (B) transition time in and out of airports;
(C) the duration of your flight; and (D) any unexpected delays. Please be aware
that battery requirements may vary based upon your personal setting.
If traveling by train, bus or boat contact your carrier to inquire about power
port/outlet availability.
