Use fabric softener when washing clothes and bedding. This will reduce the
likelihood of charge generation. If you strip a bed while wearing a processor system,
please remember to use your hands to safely reduce any charge buildup you may
have acquired.
REMEMBER: "Touch with hands first!"
Airport Security Metal Detectors
Metal detectors and security scanners will not damage your implant. However, the
implant system may activate the detector alarm as you pass through a security metal
detector. Remember to carry your Patient Identification Card with you at all times.
You might also hear a distorted sound caused by the magnetic field around the
security scanner door or handheld screening wand. Turning down the volume on your
processor before passing through security screening will ensure that those sounds, if
they occur, are not too loud or uncomfortable
X-Ray Machines
X-Ray machines will not damage the implant but may damage the internal processor
microphone or the T-Mic™ microphone. Avoid placing these items in cargo luggage
or carry-on luggage that are screened with X-Rays. During airport security screening,
the processor/T-Mic should either be worn through the metal detector or be examined
by hand.
