I am flying with a portable oxygen concentrator
You can also bring an oxygen concentrator on board an airplane!
"Breathing" is something that each of us does all the time, but for some patients who often experience hypoxia symptoms (COPD, cor pulmonale, etc.), breathing has also become one of the challenges of life. They must use oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators and other equipment to breathe oxygen on a daily basis.
Many people feel that once their lives depend on long-term oxygen inhalation, they will no longer be able to travel and exercise happily like other people.
But is it really the only way?
Take the users of our RespirEasy DEDAKJ portable oxygen concentrator as an example. In fact, most of them still maintain good exercise habits with the help of portable oxygen concentrators, and occasionally travel.
Therefore, here is a travel guide for RespirEasy DEDAKJ portable oxygen concentrators! I hope to provide a reference for friends who need oxygen, so that the portable oxygen concentrator can accompany you to more and farther places.
Using a portable oxygen concentrator on an airplane
The Civil Aviation Administration pointed out in the "Guidelines for the Evaluation of the Use of Portable Electronic Devices (PED) on Board" issued in 2018:
"Hearing aids, pacemakers, and other electronic devices and devices for sustaining life that do not affect the aircraft's navigation and communication systems can be used throughout the journey", and when the onboard communication equipment is interfered with, the portable oxygen concentrator can still continue to be used.
If you need to use oxygen on an airplane, RESPIREASY-Y5 or KPA-7 with RespirEasy DEDAKJ will provide you with oxygen assistance.
Because these two portable oxygen concentrators are not only lightweight and portable (RESPIREASY-Y5 weighs only 2.3kg, KPA-7 weighs only 1.4kg), they have also obtained international certification and US FAA aviation certification and can be used on airplanes
Before departure, you need to prepare the following:
Contact the airline at least 48 hours before departure, or go to the airport in advance to inform the airport staff that you will use an oxygen concentrator during your trip, because some airlines have specific information and requirements for the use of oxygen on airplanes.
A. The RespirEasy DEDAKJ portable oxygen concentrator has a battery life of 1.5-3 hours in different modes, but if you need to fly for a long time, RespirEasy DEDAKJ recommends that you prepare extra batteries for 150% of the flight time to cope with unexpected delays to ensure that there is enough power available during the flight.
(PS. You can use the airport power socket to charge the oxygen concentrator before boarding)
B. If you go abroad, remember to prepare a suitable power adapter.
C. Please check the accessories of the portable oxygen concentrator to ensure a more comfortable trip.
D. Arrive at the airport in advance so that there is enough time to pass security and reach the boarding gate.
E. Bring a doctor's certificate to show it to the airline staff when necessary.
The above are the preparations and precautions for taking a portable oxygen concentrator on board. In fact, as long as you are fully prepared, even COPD patients who need long-term oxygen inhalation can enjoy the joy of traveling.
Using a portable oxygen concentrator in a car
RespirEasy DEDAKJ's portable oxygen concentrators are equipped with a DC power supply compatible with the car socket. You can use the oxygen concentrator while charging the battery. At the same time, be sure to keep the car windows open for ventilation to allow outside air to continue to enter the car.
How to operate:
A. Start the vehicle first, then connect the power supply to the socket (use the accessory socket closest to the car battery).
B. When placing the oxygen concentrator, be careful not to block the air inlet and exhaust port↓
C. If possible, unplug other accessories from other sockets (such as GPS, phone chargers, etc.).
The precautions for using a portable oxygen concentrator on ships and trains are very similar to those for traveling by plane. You can continue to refer to the above content.
If you only carry a portable oxygen concentrator to take a walk outdoors or hike in the suburbs, you can use a portable oxygen concentrator to achieve more daily exercise.
It must be said that RespirEasy DEDAKJ has been producing and developing oxygen concentrators for more than 50 years. We have equipped our portable oxygen concentrators with safe and stable quality and technology.
For example, KPA-7 is equipped with autoSAT patented technology to detect changes in the user's breathing rate and ensure stable oxygen supply.
Equipped with multiple filtering functions, RESPIREASY-Y5 ensures that users can breathe pure oxygen.
As an oxygen generator manufacturer, RespirEasy DEDAKJ's efforts are to allow users who need oxygen to have a better oxygen breathing experience, try to restore normal life, and not be defeated and affected by the disease.
If you need oxygen for a long time, want to travel freely and exercise more conveniently, please pay attention to us! Pay attention to our portable oxygen generators RESPIREASY-Y5 and KPA-7
