• All diabetes supplies in your carry-on luggage

you need to carry insulin supplies and OmniPod
equipment
• Prescriptions for all medications and supplies with original
prescription labels
Screening Procedures
Airport security offers the option of requesting a visual inspection
of your medical supplies rather than putting them through the
X-ray. This must be requested before the screening process begins.
Your medical supplies should be ready in a separate bag when you
approach the Security Officer.
In order to prevent contamination or damage to your supplies, you
should be asked at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and
repack your own supplies during the visual inspection process.
Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared
visually must be submitted for X-ray screening.
If you're concerned or uncomfortable about going through the
walk-through metal detector, CATSA (Canadian Air Transport
Security Agency) states that you should notify the Security
Officer that you're wearing a pump. You should also advise the
Security Officer that the insulin pump cannot be removed
because it is inserted with a catheter (needle) under the skin.
Visit the local airport security if you have any further questions or
concerns.
Living with Diabetes
If the security detector goes off, tell the security screener that you
have diabetes and wear an insulin Pod (pump).
Pods and PDMs can safely pass through airport
X-ray machines (see the "OmniPod System Notice
Concerning Interference" in the Appendix).

Keep supplies accessible

On airplanes and trains, keep these items with you, rather than
checking them:
• Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM)
• An emergency kit
• Vials of insulin (cargo area temperatures may affect insulin)
• A copy of your healthcare provider's letter (see "Minimize
airport security delays")
• Prescriptions for insulin and supplies
• Snacks, in case food is not available
• Bottled water (especially on planes) to prevent dehydration
The name and phone number of a physician at your final
destination, in case of emergency.
