Here are a few examples of medical devices and implants that can typically go through airport security scanners,  even if they are flagged up:

• Insulin pumps and glucose meters
• Nebulizers and inhalers
• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines
• Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
• Prosthetic limbs and braces
• Wheelchairs and mobility scooters
• Hearing aids
• Surgical drains and ostomy bags

Again, it is always a good idea to check with the TSA or the device manufacturer for specific guidance, especially if you have any concerns about potential damage from the scanning process.

In some rare cases, certain devices such as implanted electrical stimulators (e.g. spinal cord stimulators, deep brain stimulators) may be impacted by the strong magnetic fields generated by some types of scanners, such as full-body scanners. If you have concerns about your specific implant, it is best to check with the manufacturer or your doctor for guidance. Ideally, you should have this information to hand before you travel.

Do inform the TSA officers about your medical device and carry any relevant supporting documentation to minimize the risk of damage or disruption to the device during the security screening process.
