MEDICAL SAFETY
Metal Defender makes every effort to ensure its products are safe for use. Extensive research
by Metal Defender has produced no information which would indicate that its products have
any adverse effects on medical implants, pregnancy, recording media or magnetic strips.
Metal Defender makes every effort to cooperate with medical device manufacturers and to
communicate with agencies such as the United States Food and Drug Administration and
Health Canada as a means of assuring product safety. The electromagnetic fields produced by
Metal Defender products are similar to those encountered in the daily environment and meet
U.S. and International standards for electromagnetic emissions.
Metal Defender recognizes that certain medical devices may have additional requirements
which may require special care. Any recommendations or directives issued by personal
physicians or medical device manufacturers should be followed. If, for any reason, (e.g.
doctors orders, etc.), a patron objects to being scanned with a metal detector, it is
recommended that alternative procedures be used.
The following should be considered when developing a security checkpoint screening plan.
• Traffic Flow - Traffic flow should remain consistent and encourage unrestricted traffic flow
as a means of minimizing the time a person remains within the archway of a walk- through
metal detector.
• Alternative Screening - Alternative screening methods such as scanning with a handheld
metal detector, hand searching or denial of access should be clearly defined in checkpoint
screening procedures as approved alternatives to screening with the walk- through metal
detector.
• Personnel Training - Security screening personnel should be instructed in the care of
persons with special medical needs and use of alternative screening methods that meet the
requirements of medical practitioners or medical device manufacturers.
