Dear Ms. Dirkx:
This is in response to your July 24, 2000 letter concerning certain carbon dioxide cylinders that are used in a medical device to administer needle-free injections. Specifically, you asked if the cylinders may be carried on board a passenger aircraft in checked or carry-on luggage under the exception in §175. 10(a)(4)(i), 175.10(a)(18) or §175.10(a)(25) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR Parts 171-180). I apologize for the delay and any inconvenience it may have caused.
Based on our review of information provided by a manufacturer of these medical devices, it is our opinion that the cylinders may be carried aboard passenger-carrying aircraft in checked or carry-on luggage under the provision in §175.10(a)(4)(i). The devices do not qualify for the exceptions in §175.10(a)(18) and 175.10(a)(25). The Federal Aviation Administration is in agreement with this position.
Should you have further questions, please contact this office.
Sincerely,
Edward T. Mazzullo
Director, Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
