With your EverGo system and proper advance planning, you can enjoy
traveling within your community and beyond. Before you leave, make sure you
pack the following:
• Fully charged battery(s) (and extra batteries for a long trip)
• Power supply and AC power cord
• DC power cord
Also, be sure to take the telephone numbers of your home care provider and
physician in case of an emergency.
By Air
Note: Every airline has policies for travel with portable oxygen concentrators
such as your EverGo device. Some airlines do not permit their use while flying
on their aircraft. When you make your reservation, be sure to ask the airline
for their policy regarding use of your EverGo during flight.
When flying in the U.S. and abroad, commercial airlines may have unusual
requirements for oxygen concentrators. Before you fly, contact all of your
airlines on each of your connecting flights for permission to carry your EverGo
system on board. Be sure to ask about any documentation you may need to
bring with you.
Make sure your battery(s) is fully charged and that you have enough battery
power for the duration of your flight. If your airline allows you to connect to
its DC power source or other external automotive/marine 12 VDC batteries,
be sure to remove both internal batteries before connecting the EverGo. The
airline AC power source must not be used to operate the EverGo.
On the day of your flight, plan to arrive early. Airport security officers may need
extra time to clear your luggage and oxygen system. They may also ask you to
remove the carrying case from the EverGo device for inspection.
Note: DO NOT remove the EverGo carrying case until a security officer
specifically instructs you to do so.
