CHAPTER 17: TRAVEL INFORMATION
It is safe for you to go through the metal detector or be "handwanded"
while wearing your Dexcom sensor and transmitter. If you're concerned
or uncomfortable about going through the walk-through metal detector,
the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) states that you should
notify the Security Office that you're wearing a continuous glucose
monitor and would like a full-body pat-down and a visual inspection of
your Dexcom sensor and transmitter instead. Advise the Security Office
that the sensor cannot be removed because it is inserted under the skin.
Instead of putting your Dexcom G4 PLATINUM (Pediatric) System
through the x-ray, request that the TSA officer perform a visual
inspection. This must be requested before the screening process
begins. Your Dexcom G4 PLATINUM (Pediatric) System components
that are not attached to your body (e.g., receiver, extra sensors) should
be ready in a separate bag when you approach the Security Officer. For
other medical supplies, such as medications, meters and strips, check
the manufacturer's instructions or the TSA website.
You may keep the receiver on before take-off, while in flight and after
landing. The Dexcom G4 PLATINUM (Pediatric) Continuous Glucose
Monitoring System is safe for use on U.S. commercial airlines. The
Dexcom G4 PLATINUM Transmitter is an M-PED with emission levels
that meet RTCA/DO160, Section 21, Category M. Per FAA Advisory,
Circular #91-21, 1B, dated 8/25/06. Any M-PED that meets this standard
in all modes may be used onboard the aircraft without any further
testing by the operator. This device can withstand exposure to common
electrostatic (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Visit the TSA's website if you have any questions or concerns.
