Airport Scanners
Be aware of airport body scanners and baggage x-rays when you travel. Do
not place any part of the system in the baggage x-ray machine or body
scanner. Ask for visual inspection instead:
• Baggage x-ray machine: Instead of putting any part of your system
through the baggage x-ray, ask the TSA officer to visually inspect it.
• Body scanner: When you are wearing your system, request 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).
The system has not been tested in x-rays or AIT body scanners, and it is
unknown if exposure to x-rays or AIT body scanners can affect the system
performance and result in you missing a severe low or high glucose event.
It is safe to wear the system for the walk-through metal detector or hand-
wanding. If you are unsure of whether the airport scanner is a metal detector,
an AIT body scanner, or an x-ray, ask the TSA officer or request hand-
wanding or full-body pat-down.
