Travel
Dexcom G5 Mobile can be a great travel companion; you can go through metal
detectors, be handwanded, and even keep your receiver on during your flight.
This section only covers the Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System. It doesn’t cover steps
you need to take when traveling with your smart device. See your smart device’s user
guide for travel tips.
10.1 Going Through Security
Walk-Through Metal Detectors
Transmitter and Sensor
Go through walk-in metal detectors or be handwanded without worrying about
damaging your transmitter or sensor.
If you’re concerned or uncomfortable about walking through the metal detector, the
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requests you tell the Security Officer
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 Dexcom G5 Mobile CGM System components through baggage 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 Dexcom G5 Mobile
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 AIT body scanners has not been studied and therefore we recommend
hand-wanding or full body pat down and visual inspection in that situation.
