Summary of Practice4.1 This practice provides the means to identify, evaluate, and screen persons with ambulatory medical devices and reportincidences invo

22、lving medical device users.4.2 These means shall include security checkpoint layout, signage, screening procedures, screener training, and information forthe medical community (physicians, nurses, device manufacturers, patients, and so forth) about checkpoint security procedures toencourage the stan

23、dardization of information and media provided to persons with medical devices.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is intended to be used as a guide for the design, configuration, and operation of security checkpoints tominimize exposure of ambulatory medical devices to the electromagnetic field

24、s emitted by metal detector security systems.Guidance is presented for signage and information to help identify persons with ambulatory medical devices and process themthrough the security checkpoint.5.2 This practice is intended to help in the training of checkpoint screeners to address the concern

25、s of persons with ambulatorymedical devices and to respond to their needs.5.3 This practice is intended to aid the medical community in advising medical device users who may be affected to identifythemselves at security checkpoints so their concerns may be addressed.5.4 This practice is intended to

26、aid medical device manufacturers to provide consistent information for medical device users,patients, and checkpoint screeners.6. Procedure6.1 Checkpoint LayoutThe security checkpoint shall be arranged and configured to minimize medical device exposure to themetal detector emissions. This shall be f

27、acilitated by free traffic flow through the checkpoint, which in turn minimizes the durationof time a person remains inside the archway. To accomplish this checkpoint layout, the following points should be considered.6.1.1 Provide an area for divestiture of metallic objects before screening.6.1.2 Pr

28、ovide identifiable queuing area for the human traffic flow through the security checkpoint. The traffic start point shouldbe at least 30 cm before the archway entrance.6.1.3 Provide a path of free flow to ensure that no distractions or obstructions prevent a person from freely passing through thearc

29、hway unhindered.Adistance of at least 1 m beyond the archway exit where stopping for hand inspection of parcels or retrievingitems from the baggage screening X-ray system is recommended.6.1.4 Provide no standing no-standing zones of 40 cm on each side of the walk-through metal detector archway for s

30、ecuritypersonnel.6.1.5 Provide a secondary screening area for manual scanning with a handheld metal detector or hand searching, or both, asprovided by the security policy.6.1.6 Provide a means for bypass of the walk-through detector directly to the secondary screening area, if allowed by securitypol

31、icy.6.2 SignageTypically security checkpoint metal detectors are visible and identifiable. Signage is suggested to alert personswith concerns about their medical devices and direct them to security staff for assistance. An example is “Metal detector in use.Persons with medical devices needing assist

32、ance should notify security personnel.”F2401 1626.3 ReportingIncidents of medical device disruption from exposure to the security equipment that result in injury to the deviceuser or complaint should immediately be reported to the security personnel, preferably to the checkpoint supervisor. Informat

33、ionabout the incident should be recorded with as much of the following information as appropriate and available under thecircumstances.6.3.1 Date, time, and location of incident (for example, facility name or address and security checkpoint location).6.3.2 Security Equipment and Personnel InvolvedTy

34、pe of equipment (for example, handheld metal detector or walk-throughmetal detector), manufacturer, model, model number, serial number, and settings.6.3.3 Patient InformationName, address, telephone number, e-mail, patient age, sex, height, weight, and if available, patientsphysician name and contac

35、t information.6.3.4 Medical Device InformationAs much detail about the active medical device as possible, including the medical devicetype (for example, type, make, model, and serial number), device location on or implanted in body, and medical device settings(if known).Aphotocopy of the patients me

36、dical device implant identification card (if available) may provide some portion of thisinformation.6.3.5 Summary of IncidentAdescription of what happened, including communication with the patient before, during, and afterthe incident. For walk-through metal detectors, how long the patient was in th

37、e archway, and for handheld metal detectors, howlong the detector was held over or near the medical device location and at what distance. A figure of the patient and screeningequipment showing the patient location and direction is useful.6.3.6 Patient ComplaintSummary description of what the patient

38、 experienced and when, and what the consequences of theincident were for the patient and medical device.6.3.7 Any communications with the patients physician after the event.6.3.8 All incidents involving medical devices that result in patient injury or complaint should be reported to the FDAs volunta

39、ryreporting program, MedWatch MedWatch.(31).6.4 Screening Procedures:6.4.1 IdentifyThe use of signage and trained operators allows the identification of helps to identify persons with medicaldevices whomwho are concerned about potential medical device disruption and those who are concerned that thei

40、r devices maycause the metal detectors to alarm. IdentificationNotification by the medical device user or notification to the checkpoint screenershould be done before the medical device user enters the archway or is scanned by a handheld metal detector. The screener shouldbe prepared to handle infor

41、mation discreetly when privacy is a concern.6.4.2 AssessMethods to assess concerns of persons with medical devices may include a brief interview with the person toidentify the type of medical device, any medical device user safety concerns, or advice received by the device user from theirhealthcare

42、provider. Additional information may be obtained from medical device information cards often supplied by medicaldevice manufacturers.The checkpoint operator should check this card to verify patients name, type and location of medical device,and any recommended restrictions to metal detector exposure

43、. Checkpoint operators should respect the requests of the patient whilefollowing security screening procedures.3 Burlington, D.,“Important Information on Anti-Theft and Metal Detector Systems and Pacemakers, ICDs, and Spinal Cord Stimulators,” Food and Drug AdministrationNotification and Reference L

45、sMethods of addressing patient concerns may vary depending on the type of security requirement andthe availability of alternate screening methods. Proper training of security personnel will allow appropriate assessment andimplementation of a prescribed security screening method. The patient may have

46、 concerns that include the medical device maycause the security equipment to alarm or the patient has been advised to minimize or avoid exposure to handheld or walk-throughmetal detectors.6.5 Alternative Screening ProceduresAlternative procedures are often useful in addressing the needs and concerns

47、 of patients.The following alternative procedures should be considered when establishing security policy.6.5.1 Limited searches with handheld metal detectors that minimize medical device exposure by using hand searches in the areaof the medical implant.6.5.2 Hand search for a patient who has been ad

48、vised to avoid metal detector searches entirely.6.5.3 It must be recognized that for some security applications hand searches may not be considered adequate and may resultin a denial of access to certain areas.6.6 Minimize ExposureThe most basic method of addressing concerns is to minimize exposure.

49、 Examples of methods tominimize exposure are:6.6.1 Checkpoint layout designed for free flow through a walk-through detector without obstructions that would cause a personto stop within the archway.6.6.2 Checkpoint supervision that encourages persons to walk through the center of the archway of a walk-through metaldetector at a reasonable pace without pausing.6.6.3 Checkpoint prescreening procedures that encourage the divesting of metallic objects as a means to minimize the need formultiple security checkpoint screening op
