Does the Freestyle Libe 2 system require any special handling when I'm travelling by air?
Users may use the System while on an aircraft, following any requests from the flight crew. After they have put their smartphone in airplane mode, users can continue to scan their sensor to receive glucose values. To receive the sensor minute-to-minute glucose readings, users need to ensure Bluetooth is enabled.
Some airport full-body scanners include millimeter-wave radio technology, which you should avoid exposure to your Sensor. The effect of these scanners has not been evaluated, and the exposure may damage the Sensor or cause inaccurate results.
To avoid removing your Sensor, you may request another type of screening. If you do choose to go through a full-body scanner, you must remove your Sensor.
The Sensor can be exposed to common electrostatic (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI), including airport metal detectors. You can keep your Reader on while going through these.
