Insulin Pumps & Glucose Monitors

Inform the TSA Officer

Before screening begins, inform the TSA officer about the location of an insulin pump, glucose monitor or other medical device attached to your body.

You will not be required to remove medical devices attached to your body. However, disconnected devices may be screened by X-ray. Inform the TSA officer if you do not want your device screened by X-ray. Alternative screening will be conducted.

Screening in Standard Lanes

If your insulin pump or glucose monitor is attached to your body, the device is subject to additional screening, to include a self pat-down of the medical device and a test of your hands for any trace of explosives.

Screening in TSA PreCheck® Lanes

Additional screening is only required if your insulin pump or glucose monitor alarms in the WTMD or AIT. If required, the TSA officer will direct you to pat-down the medical device and will test your hands for any trace of explosives.
