[QUOTE="Celsus, post: 1805036, member: 185674"] It is not based on 'the devices I deal with?? It is what the security agencies have established as rules based on collaboration with the medical device manufacturers association. And then don't take snippets out of contents please, as it continues: "[I]...Consult with the manufacturer of the device to determine whether it can pass through the X-ray, metal detector or advanced imaging technology for screening and act accordingly.[/I]" :) And there you are correct, Medtronic and other insulin pump manufacturers have not done the full device market approval procedure (cheap bastards) including testing their insulin pumps going through xray machines of the type you find in airport security. Reason why most write in their guidance that you should not put it onto the conveyor for that machine but ask for manual inspection. I am delighted that mobile phones, digital cameras, iPads, Abbott Libre and all the other stuff 'we cant live without in these modern times' can go through without manual hassle in the airports.
