CPAP Devices:
Gulf Air medical clearance is required for the carriage of CPAP/POC devices for any medical condition. All supporting documents must be submitted 48 hours prior to the flight in order to obtain medical clearance. Customers who use these devices for sleep apnea do not need to apply for Gulf Air medical clearance, however, they must carry a letter from their own doctor stating the need to use a CPAP/POC device.If the device is not included in the FAA approved list, it must be properly labelled by the manufacturer to reflect that it has been tested to meet FAA requirements for medical portable electronic devices or otherwise accompanied by an FAA compliance letter from the manufacturer. Contact the airline to note the FAA approved CPAP/POC devices.
