FAA POCs

POCs Which Meet FAA Regulations

We’ve designed this website to be a resource for patients.  We want patients to know their options and to be able to discuss those options with their doctor.  This website is not meant to replace the medical advice from a doctor or other medical personnel.  Our goal is to be a one-stop-shopping site for information, even if that means giving you links to other websites.  We don’t want to reinvent the wheel, just to be a resource.

There’s confusion over what POCs meet FAA regulations and which don’t. We give a brief explanation and a link to the FAA website that explains further.  

When portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) were first approved for use on airplanes, the FAA kept a list and approved the POCs themselves. They changed that policy and new regulations set forth what manufacturers had to do to be compliant with the regulations. Even though the FAA’s list still exists, it hasn’t been updated since August of 2016. Click here to go to the FAA’s website explaining this change.

Below is a list of FDA-approved POCs that meet the FAA’s regulations for flying. We have ordered this list alphabetically by manufacturer, then within that list alphabetically by POC name.

**Please note that this list is not complete. We are working to add all POCs that have met the FAA requirements since the FAA stopped maintaining their list. It is also possible that there is a newly released POC that we don’t have on our list yet.
