“The AED is usually allowed in the luggage compartment at the bottom of the plane or as hand luggage.
Since airlines such as KLM also have AEDs on board, it is possible to take the AED with you.
To be sure, contact the airline to confirm that you can take the AED with you.
Always take the purchase invoice for the AED with you.
It is wise to also bring the MSDS document (Material Safety Data Sheet), which provides information about the
composition of the product. You can download these documents for:
MSDS loose battery.
MSDS battery in the Philips HeartStart HS1 AED.
Due to the lithium battery in the AED, there are some conditions attached to taking the battery with you:
Lithium batteries may only be taken in hand luggage.
The packaging of a new Philips battery meets the requirements.
If you check the AED as checked baggage, the AED must be completely turned off by removing the battery.
You must then take the loose battery with you in your hand luggage.
You can also choose to take the AED including battery in your hand luggage.”
