8.1.4. Documentation

You are responsible for the operation of the Zen-Olite™ POC on board the aircraft. For

this reason, the FAA recommends that passengers carry with them, at minimum, this

User Manual and any other written information provided by your healthcare professional

regarding the Zen-Olite™ POC and its use.

8.1.5. Physician´s Statement

An air carrier may require a medical certiﬁ cate from a passenger with a disability if there

is reasonable doubt that the individual can complete the ﬂ ight safely without requiring

extraordinary medical assistance during the ﬂ ight. Also, an air carrier may require a medi-

cal certiﬁ cate from a person who needs medical oxygen during a ﬂ ight. The FAA does

not require passengers to obtain a physician’s statement and present such statement to

the operator or pilot in command (PIC) prior to Zen-Olite™ POC use on board the aircraft.

8.1.6. Spare Batteries

Battery damage and battery short circuit can result in battery overheating and ﬁ re. These

events, in turn, can result in personal injury to passengers, and in the worst case for cer-

tain types of batteries, a catastrophic passenger compartment ﬁ re. Thus, spare lithium

batteries carried on board aircraft must be individually protected from short circuit by

placement in original retail packaging, by taping over exposed terminals, or by placing

each battery in a separate plastic bag / protective pouch.

IMPORTANT: Spare lithium batteries are prohibited from being carried in checked bag-

gage on an aircraft.

You are responsible for ensuring that all spare batteries carried in carry-on baggage are

properly packaged. Zen-Olite™ POC equipment providers, some airlines, and freight for-

warders specialising in small package shipments may provide this packaging service for

you.

8.2. Boarding and In-ﬂ ight Information

8.2.1. Carry-on baggage

Your Zen-Olite™ POC is an assistive device. In this case, carriers shall not, in implement-

ing their carry-on baggage policy, count the Zen-Olite™ POC toward a limit on carry-on

items brought into the cabin by a qualiﬁ ed individual with a disability.

IMPORTANT: A bag with additional batteries that is required to power the Zen-Olite™

POC during the ﬂ ight could also be considered an assistive device. However, there are

restrictions on the Watt Hour (Wh) rating of the battery which is limited to 100Wh per bat-

tery. For your Zen-Olite™ POC, the Watt Hour (Wh) rating is less than 100Wh per battery

maximum, therefore no limitation will be imposed.
