Airport security
Prepare for your travel:
• Airport security checks and screening procedures may change, so review the
airport website for travel updates before your trip.
• Arrive at the airport 2-3 hours before your flight.
• Have your insulin management supplies easily accessible to ensure that
airport security checks run smoothly.
The airport may offer the option of requesting a visual inspection of your medical
supplies rather than putting them through the X-ray. You must request this before
the screening process begins. Your medical supplies should be in a separate bag
when you approach the security officer.
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 are concerned about going through the walk-through metal detector, notify
the security officer that you're wearing an insulin pump. You should advise the
security officer that the insulin pump cannot be removed because it is inserted
with a catheter (tubing) under the skin.
Check your airport's website if you have any further questions or concerns.
Note: Pods and PDMs can safely pass through airport X-ray machines (see the
"Omnipod DASH™ System Notice Concerning Interference" on page 182).
Flying and flight mode
Warning: The atmospheric pressure in an aeroplane cabin can change
during flight, which may affect the Pod' s insulin delivery. Check your blood
glucose frequently while flying. If needed, follow your healthcare provider' s
treatment instructions.
The PDM controls the Pod using Bluetooth® wireless technology. Before flying,
check your airline's policy regarding the use of Personal Medical Electronic
Devices that communicate using Bluetooth® technology.
If use of a Personal Electronic Device using Bluetooth® technology is allowed, set
your PDM to flight mode while on the aeroplane (see "Flight mode" on page 93).
The Bluetooth® setting remains enabled in the PDM's airplane mode so you can
communicate with your Pod.
Note: The Omnipod DASH™ System is safe to use at atmospheric pressures
typically found in aeroplane cabins during flight. The Omnipod DASH™ System
can be used at atmospheric pressures as low as 700 hPA, which is lower than the
typical pressure in aeroplane cabins.
