Garrett Metal Detectors makes every effort to ensure its products are safe for use. Extensive research by Garrett
has produced no information which would indicate that its products have any adverse effects on medical implants,
pregnancy, recording media or magnetic strips. Garrett makes every effort to cooperate with medical device
manufacturers and to communicate with agencies such as the United States Food and Drug Administration and
Health Canada as a means of assuring product safety. The electromagnetic fields produced by Garrett products
are similar to those encountered in the daily environment and meet U.S. and International standards for electro-
magnetic emissions.
Garrett recognizes that certain medical devices may have additional requirements which may require special care.
Any recommendations or directives issued by personal physicians or medical device manufacturers should be fol-
lowed. If, for any reason, (e.g. doctors orders, etc.), a patron objects to being scanned with a metal detector, it is
recommended that alternative procedures be used.
The following should be considered when developing a security checkpoint screening plan:
• Traffic Flow - Traffic flow should remain unobstructed as a means of minimizing the time a person
remains within the archway of a walk-through metal detector.
• Alternative Screening - Alternative screening methods such as scanning with a hand held metal
detector, hand searching or denial of access should be clearly defined in checkpoint screening
procedures as approved alternatives to screening with the walk-through metal detector.
• Personnel Training - Security screening personnel should be instructed in the care of persons
with special medical needs and use of alternative screening methods that meet the requirements
of medical practitioners or medical device manufacturers.
