Appendix B | Security And Air Travel - Dexcom Pro Q User Manual

Appendix B
The Dexcom Pro Q can be a great travel companion – a participant can go through
metal detectors and hand-wanding.
B.1 Security
Going through security often means a person and their belongings go through a metal
detector, x-ray machine, or even a body scanner. This section shows which are OK for
Dexcom Pro Q components and which haven't been tested and should be avoided.
Security Equipment to Use
Hand-wanding, pat-downs, visual inspection, and walk-through metal
detectors: any of these methods can be used without worrying about
damaging Pro Q components.
Security Equipment to Avoid
Body scanners: don't go through an advanced imaging technology (AIT)
body scanner, like the millimeter wave scanners.
X-ray machines: Don't put Pro Q components through x-ray machines.
If concerned about the security equipment, tell the Security Officer a continuous
glucose monitor is being worn, which requires hand-wanding or a full-body pat-down
with a visual inspection of the sensor and transmitter. Let the Security Officer know the
sensor cannot be removed because it's inserted under their skin.
