On the Go With Dexcom G5x Mobile CGM System: Getting Through Security
274
If you’re concerned or uncomfortable about walking through the metal
detector, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requests you tell
the Security Officer that you’re wearing a continuous glucose monitor and
want a full-body pat-down with a visual inspection of your sensor and
transmitter.
Let the Security Officer know the sensor can’t be removed because it’s
inserted under the skin.
X-Ray Machines
Receiver, Extra Sensors
Don’t put your 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 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 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.
