Standard Guide for Security Checkpoint Screening of Persons with Medical Devices Using Metal Detectors
ASTM F2401-24
Organization:
ASTM - ASTM International
Year: 2024
Abstract: 5.1 This guide addresses the design, configuration, and operation of security checkpoints to minimize exposure of persons with PMEDs to the electromagnetic fields emitted by metal detector security systems. Guidance is presented for signage and information to help identify persons with PMEDs and process them through the security checkpoint. 5.2 This guide may help in the training of checkpoint screeners to address the concerns of persons with PMEDs and to respond to their needs. 5.3 This guide may aid the medical community in advising PMED users who may be affected to identify themselves at security checkpoints so their concerns may be addressed.

| scope | 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. The values shown in parentheses are for information only. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. | |
