PRECAUTION
Going Through Security Check Point
When wearing your G6, ask for hand-wanding or full-body pat-down and visual
inspection instead of going through the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body
scanner (also called a millimeter wave scanner) or putting any part of the G6 in the
baggage x-ray machine.
You can wear the G6 for the walk-through metal detector. If you do, use your meter
for treatment decisions until you leave the security area.
Because we haven't tested every x-ray and scanner, we don't know if they damage
the G6.
Not sure what kind of machine it is? Be safe – either ask the TSA officer, request
hand-wanding, or request full-body pat-down.
Follow G6 instructions. If you don't, you could have a severe low or high glucose event.
B.2 On the Plane
To use your smart device or receiver to get sensor glucose information while on the
plane:
• Smart device: Switch to airplane mode, then turn Bluetooth on
• Receiver: Keep receiver on
Contact your airline for their policies.
