i just wondered , or rather i have just been told that you can get "signs" or "stickers" for inside the car windows,, to let people know that the car is carrying portable oxygen cylinders,,,, for obvious reasons!! god forbid, , anyone know where you can get them.

Hi Jimmy,

I have had one for years, you get them from your NHS oxygen supplier they are a card whgich comes in a little transparent wallet with a sticky back and are reusable when you change cars, mine was originaly supplied by Air products who were my original supplier but I think all the companies have them, if not I will photocopy mine and E Mail it to you.

Best Regards,

Robert

Mine was also from Air Products [now called something else], and they brought me another one for my new Motability car as well. I do find they fade with time though.

I asked about this, was told no. So I thought I would take one of the signs that we put in our windows and put one in the car window. Cut it some to make it smaller. I used to worry about this every time I was next to a car full of smokers.

I carry a TREM card to show emergency services I am carrying 02 in my car, but never heard of a sticker for the car, and am sure my 02 company would have told me about it if true, as I have a transportable concentrator as well as the cylinders I carry in my car as a normal thing. I suggest you contact your own 02 supplier and ask about it, before listening to others, who may be in another country..

Would like to add that all 02 suppliers are different. I am with BOC healthcare. (formally Vitalair). Please can you let me know if you can get a sticker, so I can ask my supplier too? Thank you
