Dear Mr. Brooks:
This responds to your letter concerning certain carbon diox1de cylinders that are used in a medical device to administer needle-free injections. Specifically, you ask if the cylinders may be carried on board a passenger-carrying aircraft in checked or carry-on luggage under the exception in § 175.10(a)(4)(i) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
Our December 13, 2000 reply (Reference Number 00-0206) to Alaska, Airlines remains valid. In that letter we stated that it is our opinion the cylinders may be carried aboard passenger-carrying aircraft in checked or carry-on luggage under the provision in § 175.10(a)(4)(i). We also stated that the devices do not qualify for the exceptions in §§ 175.10(a)(18) and 175.10(a)(25).
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
