Security systems
When passing through security systems, follow these precautions:
Electronic antitheft systems, such as in a store or a library, and
point-of-entry control systems, such as gates or readers that
include radio frequency identification equipment – These systems
should not affect a cardiac monitor, but, as a precaution, do not linger
near or lean against such systems. Simply walk through these systems at
a normal pace.
Airport, courthouse, and jail security systems – Given the short
duration of security screening, it is unlikely that metal detectors (walk-
through archways and handheld wands) and full body imaging
scanners (also called millimeter wave scanners and three-dimensional
imaging scanners) in airports, courthouses, and jails will affect a cardiac
monitor. When encountering these security systems, follow these
guidelines:
• Always carry your cardiac monitor ID card. If a cardiac monitor sets
off a metal detector or security system, show your ID card to the
security operator.
