To whom it may concern,
This person is wearing a Medtronic insulin pump and may be carrying a spare/loan. The device is not suitable to be worn during a Full Body Scan and therefore the patient requests an alternative screening process.
This device can withstand exposure to common electrostatic (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), including typical airport security metal detectors. During exposure, it can remain connected and powered on.
Do not expose to XRAY devices such as hand baggage scanners or other devices that generate very strong magnetic fields. The magnetic fields in the immediate vicinity of these devices can damage the part of the pump’s motor that regulates insulin delivery, possibly resulting in over-delivery and severe hypoglycemia.
If you have any questions concerning this device, please call the Product Support 24hr Helpline on 0044 (0)1923 205 167 (option 2).
