Airport Security Metal Detectors; Ultrasonic Sensors; X-Ray Machines - Advanced Bionics NEPTUNE Mode D'emploi

Airport Security Metal Detectors

Metal detectors and security scanners, including full body scanners, will not
damage your implant system; however, metal detectors may be activated as you
pass through. To avoid hearing any unwanted sound when walking through metal
detectors or security scanners, you should reduce the volume on the sound processor
or remove your headpiece.

Ultrasonic Sensors

Ultrasonic sensors, sometimes used in lighting sensors and security systems, will not
damage your implant system; however, they may be picked up by the headpiece
microphone and lead to distorted sound quality when you operate your sound
processor in the immediate vicinity of such a sensor. To avoid hearing any unwanted
sound, you should reduce the volume on your sound processor or remove your
headpiece when passing near an ultrasonic sensor (e.g., in entrances to libraries).

X-ray Machines

X-ray machines will not damage your sound processor or implant, but may damage
your headpiece microphone. Avoid placing any system microphones in any checked
or carry-on baggage that is screened with X-ray. During airport security screenings,
the sound processor and microphone should be worn through the metal detector or
examined by hand.
