TRAVELLING WITH YOUR CONCENTRATOR
The FAA allows this device on board most US and European aircraft.
IMPORTANT: It is the patient's responsibility to consult the specific airline when travelling domestically and internationally.
When travelling with the device, you should take the mains power supply and external battery charger (if you have one) with you. It is advisable to use external power supply (i.e. connected to a wall) when available to keep the battery fully charged.
Carry enough charged batteries to power your concentrator for no less than 150% of the expected duration of your flight, pre-flight and post-flight ground time, security checks, connections and a conservative estimate for unexpected delays. Note that according to FAA regulations, all extra batteries must be packed and protected separately to prevent short circuits and may only be carried in carry-on baggage on board the aircraft.
The AC power supply cannot be used to charge the device's battery on board the aircraft.
If you are travelling by bus, train or boat, contact your carrier to find out more about the availability of power outlets.
