1、Designation:F240116Standard Practice forSecurity Checkpoint Metal Detector Screening of Personswith Medical Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2401;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of
2、 last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 The following practice is intended to address the needsand concerns of persons with implanted,active,medicaldevices or act
3、ive ambulatory medical devices,as well aspassive implanted medical devices,while maintaining theintegrity of the security checkpoint.1.2 Active and passive implanted medical devices are beingused at an increasing rate as a means to prolong and improvequality of life.Although these medical devices ar
4、e typicallydesigned to operate in the electromagnetic environment expe-rienced in daily life,there is a potential for the disruption ofactive medical device function when exposed to certain elec-tromagnetic fields emitted by commonly encountered electri-cally powered products,including handheld and
5、walk-throughmetal detectors used in security checkpoint screening.Inaddition,some active or passive implanted devices may triggerthe unintended alarm of the metal detector.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.The values shown in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4
6、This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents
