CAN I FLY / GO THROUGH AIRPORT SCANNERS?
After the recovery period, it is fine to fly. We will provide paperwork so the TSA is aware that you have a medical device and it is preferable to avoid going through airport scanners. However, there is only a very low risk of scanners turning off the device. When flying, patients should take their patient controller device with them to be able to verify whether the DBS is on or off.
