Travel guide for people with hypoxia: oxygen concentrators can also be taken on high-speed trains and planes!
The long-awaited long holiday travel is coming soon! Many friends have made plans to travel and go home to visit.
But there are also some people who often have hypoxia symptoms (COPD, cardiopulmonary diseases, etc.). Because they cannot leave the oxygen concentrator for a long time, they rarely go out of the house, let alone long-distance travel.
But, is it really so?
In fact, the oxygen concentrator is different from oxygen bags and oxygen cylinders. Its scientific name is "oxygen concentrator". It meets the national medical-grade home oxygen concentrator standards. The fuselage is usually made of high-fireproof materials and is not a dangerous item. As long as it meets the regulations, it can be taken on trains, high-speed trains, trains, and even airplanes.
1. Relevant regulations
This time, RESPIREASY DEDAKJ will provide you with a travel guide for portable oxygen concentrators on airplanes! I hope to provide a reference for friends who need oxygen, and let the portable oxygen concentrator accompany you to see the beautiful distance!
The Civil Aviation Administration of China 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 maintaining 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.
Generally speaking, airlines allow 100Wh lithium batteries to be carried on board. The built-in battery parameter of RESPIREASY's portable oxygen concentrator is 72Wh, and the host is only 1.2kg. As long as you bring the equipped portable shoulder bag, you can carry it with you and breathe oxygen comfortably anytime and anywhere.
2, Precautions
1 Communicate with professional medical staff about travel plans and make travel oxygen therapy plans according to doctor's advice.
2 Before booking, confirm with the airline whether the battery capacity of the oxygen concentrator can be carried with you and whether it can be used during the trip.
3 At least 48 hours before departure, it is best to contact the airline again, or go to the airport in advance to inform the airport staff that you will use the oxygen concentrator during the trip. Some airlines have specific information and requirements for this.
4 Before departure, make sure that the oxygen concentrator battery is fully charged, bring a dedicated power bank, charger, portable shoulder bag and other accessories, and if you have plans to go abroad, you must also bring a power conversion socket.
5 Bring a doctor's certificate to show to airline staff when necessary, and arrive at the airport in advance for security checks.
There are no specific restrictions on the use of portable oxygen concentrators on high-speed trains/trains/cruise ships, but in order not to affect the itinerary, it is best to confirm with the relevant agencies in advance.
I hope that under the guidance of medical care, more long-term oxygen users will get rid of restrictions, regain their hobbies, and go out of the house with the company of RESPIREASY portable oxygen concentrators!
