X-Ray Machines

Receiver, Extra Sensors
Don't put your Dexcom G5 Mobile 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 Mobile 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 and
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.
