Optimal Transportation of your CYPRES

Are you afraid of potential trouble at the airport security gate?

No worries. You are safe with your CYPRES. The sanctioning international organizations have cleared the CYPRES for transportation either in your carry-on or your check-in luggage.

Should any doubts or questions remain, you can present your system's identification card to explain the pictures shown on the security scanner. This will help you through security.

Here you can conveniently download and print out your system's identification card for your next air travel. Please keep in mind that each container's image may look slightly different on the scanner.

You can also find the system's ID card on the last page of the manual.

You can find confirmation forms of official clearance by clicking here.

Our Recommendation:

Check your CYPRES in with your other check-in luggage for any air travel. Doing so, you will have no problems at the security gate and you can travel more comfortably.
