Airport security

Hi,
I’m new to this site and am looking for information on CAPD - not for me but for a friend who is interested in the US (he’s in England). How can we find out from the TSA whether dialysis fluids are allowed on board an aircraft? I found an earlier thread but the link wasn’t live and my own searches showed gels and liquids but nothing for dialysis. What happens if someone wants to travel further if they can’t carry fluids on board? No dialysis?

Any help appreciated,
Thanks - Chris

We contacted the TSA about this question, and wrote an article about how to travel with a PD cycler or a NxStage System One (hemo machine onliy available in the US). I believe it will also answer your questions about PD solutions on flights. You can read it at: http://www.homedialysis.org/resources/tom/200606/.
