System: Getting Through Security

15.1 Introduction

Dexcom G5 Mobile can be a great travel companion; you can go through metal detectors, be
handwanded, and even keep your receiver on during your flight.

to take when traveling with your smart device. See your smart device's instruction for use to
learn how to travel with it.
After this chapter, you will be able to:
1. Explain proper procedure if you prefer a full body pat down.
2. Describe steps needed for a TSA officer to inspect Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM
System components.
3. Identify when your display device(s) can be on during a flight.
4. Contact TSA directly with your security questions.

15.2 Going Through Security

Walk-Through Metal Detectors
Transmitter and Sensor
No worries about wearing your transmitter and sensor when going through security.
Go through walk-in metal detectors or, if you prefer, be handwanded without worrying about
damaging your transmitter or sensor.
If you're concerned or uncomfortable about walking through the metal detector, the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requests you tell the Security Officer you're
wearing a continuous glucose monitor and want a full-body pat-down with a visual
inspection of your sensor and transmitter.
Let the Security Officer know the sensor can't be removed because it's inserted under the skin.
