The US Department of Transportation has implemented a new regulation making air travel easier for passengers requiring portable oxygen concentrators. Passengers are now authorized to use any FAA approved portable oxygen concentrator during any commercial flight that lands or takes off in US, regardless of whether or not the airline has approved the device. Air travel with oxygen has been simplified for passengers, eliminating the need to use specific concentrators on specific airlines. Invacare XPO2

The USDOT does require that portable oxygen concentrators, such as the Invacare XPO2, have an “FAA Approved” label attached to them. Passengers who require an oxygen concentrator during air travel must have a physician’s statement of oxygen necessity signed within 10 days of the departure date. Provided these criteria are met, travelers with any model of FAA approved portable oxygen concentrator can choose whichever airline they wish. This not only makes planning trips easier, but also make travel less expensive for those who require oxygen as they are able to shop around for less expensive flights.

In addition to the Invacare XPO2, those who travel by air with oxygen can also choose from the Respironic EverGo Portable Oxygen Concentrator or the SeQual Eclipse Portable Oxygen Concentrator 2. Both oxygen concentrators are easy to use and travel with, and the SeQual Eclipse 2 is the only portable concentrator that can provide continuous flow oxygen.

For safety reasons, it is recommended that passengers with portable oxygen concentrators carry enough batteries to last twice the duration of the flight to ensure they always have power, regardless of any delays.

    Thank you for the information, however, I do have a question. If a person was looking for a slightly used portable oxygen concentrator FAA approved where would I look? I have checked with local suppliers of home oxygen and they have none. Perhaps our pulmonary Dr., local newspaper, any others?? Or is it worth it? Thank You.
