must be able to communicate discomfort. If the user is unable to communicate discomfort, or unable to read and understand the

concentrator labeling and instructions for use, then use is recommended only under the supervision of one who can. If any

discomfort is felt while using the concentrator, patients are advised to contact their healthcare provider. Patients are also

advised to have back-up oxygen available (i.e. cylinder oxygen) in the event of a power outage or concentrator failure. There

are no other unique skills or user abilities required for concentrator use.

FreeStyle for Airline Travel – FAA-Approved

FreeStyle has received the US Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) acceptance for onboard in-flight use by oxygen

passengers on commercial airlines via a 2006 amendment to SFAR 106.

In addition, as of May 13, 2009, a new Department of Transporation (DOT)/FAA ruling has determined that US-based carriers,

as well as international flights with origination or destination in the US, must allow passengers with FAA-approved portable

oxygen concentrators to use them on board, and in flight, as medically necessary. Check directly with the individual airlines

with which you would like to travel for up-to-date information on their specific POC policies.
