Not medical advice
Content on this website is general educational information. It is not a diagnosis, treatment plan, prescription, emergency plan, or substitute for advice from a qualified healthcare professional who understands your condition, devices, settings, and travel plans.
No equipment compatibility guarantee
Compatibility results are planning suggestions created from sample destination and device categories. Two devices with similar names can have different power supplies, batteries, settings, accessories, and operating requirements. Only qualified, device-specific sources can confirm whether a setup is safe.
- Confirm the exact model and power-supply input with the manufacturer.
- Confirm batteries, chargers, backup power, and in-flight use with the manufacturer and airline.
- Confirm transformers, converters, surge protectors, extension cords, and local electrical use with the manufacturer and an appropriate electrical professional.
Plug adapters do not convert voltage
A plug adapter only changes the plug shape. It does not change voltage or frequency. Connecting equipment to an incompatible electrical supply may damage the device, cause fire or electric shock, interrupt therapy, or create life-threatening harm. Never assume a converter or transformer is safe for a medical device.
Airline and battery requirements
Airline acceptance, documentation, battery limits, packaging, advance notice, onboard use, and wheelchair handling procedures vary by carrier, route, aircraft, jurisdiction, and device. Contact every operating carrier directly and keep written documentation.
Accessibility and destination information
Accessibility labels and services are not uniform. Elevators, transfers, hotel rooms, transportation, healthcare, and emergency response can differ from descriptions and can change unexpectedly. Verify the exact features you need with each provider.
Emergencies
This website is not monitored for emergencies. If you believe a person, medical device, power supply, battery, or electrical setup is unsafe, stop and contact an appropriate qualified professional. For an urgent or life-threatening situation, contact local emergency services immediately.
