1.1 The following guide addresses persons with personal medical electronic devices (PMEDs), which may be implanted, active, medical devices or active ambulatory medical devices, as well as passive implanted medical devices, while maintaining the integrity of the security checkpoint. 1.2 PMEDs are being used to prolong and improve quality of life. Although PMEDs are typically designed to operate in the electromagnetic environment experienced in daily life, there is a potential for the disruption of or damage to, or both, active PMED function when exposed to certain electromagnetic fields emitted by commonly encountered electrically powered products, including handheld and walk-through metal detectors used in security checkpoint screening. In addition, some PMEDs may trigger an unintended alarm of the metal detector. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
