Does the Sensor require any special handling when I'm travelling?
You may use your FreeStyle Libre System while on an aircraft but make sure you follow any requests from the flight crew.
- Some airport full-body scanners include x-ray or millimetre radio-wave, which you cannot expose your Sensor to. 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 FreeStyle Libre 2 Reader on while going through these.
