8 .2 .6 . Use of Aircraft Electrical Power
There is no requirement for operators to provide aircraft electrical power to a Zen-O lite™
POC user. Electrical outlets on board aircraft are considered nonessential equipment and
are not required by the applicable certification or operational rules. In addition, electrical
malfunctions in aircraft systems may require the power source to these outlets to be de-
activated on the ground or in flight for the safety of the flight. Due to this statement, the
Zen-O lite™ POC should only be operated off battery power while on board aircraft. You
should never rely upon onboard aircraft electrical power being available during a flight

8 .2 . 7 . Smoking
Smoking (including e-cigarettes) during oxygen therapy is dangerous and is likely to re-
sult in serious injury or death of the patient and others from fire. Do not allow smoking or
open flames within 10 feet of the portable oxygen concentrator or any oxygen carrying
accessories.
8 .3 . TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA) REQUIREMENTS
Detailed information that is pertinent to passengers using respiratory devices, including
Zen-O lite™ POCs, may be obtained from the TSA at https://www.tsa.gov/travel/special-
procedures.
The following general security screening considerations apply to Zen-O lite™ POCs:
1.
The limit of one carry-on and one personal item (e.g., purse, briefcase, or computer
case) does not apply to medical supplies, equipment, mobility aids, and/or assistive
devices carried by and/or used by a person with a disability.
2. If a person has medical documentation regarding their medical condition or disabil-
ity, they can present this information to the screener to help inform him or her of the
person's situation. This documentation is not required and will not exempt a person
from the security screening process.
8 .4 . PLACING YOUR DEVICE IN AIRPLANE MODE
If you have the RS-00600C model (this is stated on the back of your device), this means
your device is connected to GCE's Clarity platform. Clarity provides regular updates on
your device's performance to your home oxygen provider, enabling them better support
you and your device.
When travelling by air, you are required by international air travel regulations to disable
communications features on your electronic devices on board the aircraft. If your Zen-O
portable oxygen concentrator is enabled to work with GCE's Clarity platform you will
need to place the device in Airplane mode.
