Anyone travel with an LVAD heart pump?
Anyone travel with an LVAD heart pump? Looks like we may be facing that and I'm curious if anyone had issues with it operating on inverter or generator?

My brother in law has a LVAD and if he travels, Mayo Clinic will preview his route and make sure that there is at least one emergency service unit within so many miles of anywhere he goes, within reason. He grew up in Michigan UP but they cannot supply this as it is too rural so he cannot go there.
He is on the heart transplant list, and thinks the LVAD is wonderful as he would not be alive without it. He has been working out and is really in good shape since the pump was installed in October. He is 58 but wrecked his heart in an auto accident when he was 32. It steadily declined until this was necessary last year.
