FAA Compliance
To whom it may concern:
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) Final Rule,
“Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability in Air Travel” (73 FR
27614 which updates Title 14 CFR Part 382), effective May 13, 2009
provides important requirements for the accomodation of passengers
with respiratory assistive devices (Ventilators, Respirators and CPAP
machines).
In line with these requirements, respiratory assistive devices may be
used onboard an aircraft, without further testing by the carrier, provided
they have been tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) in
accordance with the current version of RTCA/DO-160, Section 21,
Category M.
Breas Medical has successfully completed testing for the Z1 CPAP
System. The Z1 CPAP System complies with RTCA/DO-160, Section 21,
Category M and can be considered FAA compliant.
Some airlines may require advance notification before travel,
and devices may need to be operated by battery. Breas Medical
recommends that customers check with their airline.
