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.
X-Ray Machines
Receiver, Extra Sensors
Don't put your Dexcom G5 components through x-ray machines.
Before your screening process begins, ask the TSA Officer to perform a visual inspection
of the receiver and your extra sensors. Place all Dexcom G5 components in a separate bag
before handing over to the Security Officer.
For other medical supplies, such as medications, meters, and strips, check manufacturer's
instructions or the TSA website.
Body Scanners
Use of advanced imaging technology (AIT) body scanners, like millimeter wave scanners, has
not been studied, and we therefore recommend hand-wanding or a full-body pat-down with
a visual inspection in those situations.
In the Plane
To use your smart device, receiver, or both to get sensor glucose information while in the
plane:
• Smart device: When you switch to airplane mode, keep Bluetooth on
• Receiver: Keep receiver on
Contact your airline for their policies.
