[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 1578077, member: 49223"] There are walk through metal detectors (not to be confused with xray machines), walk through body scanners and bag Xray machines. Most manufacturers recommend that pumps are not put through the bag Xray or body scanners, where as walk through metal detectors are fine. The bag xray machines have been fine for handsets and dexcom receivers (for me). I wear my pump and walk through metal detectors but have refused to go into body scanners - each time I'm allowed to walk around and be manually searched/swabbed. You do have to ask, and get challenged, just be firm and say the manufacturer has told you that it cannot enter the scanner and all should be ok. [/QUOTE]
