You may travel with your Medtronic MiniMed 2007C Implantable Insulin
Pump System. All extended trips should be discussed with your doctor. It
is safe to travel in a pressurized aircraft, which includes all commercial
airlines. Security systems at airports will not affect your Pump, but you
may be asked to show your Patient Emergency Information Card which
explains the Pump and PPC. Remember to always carry conventional
insulin supplies with you when you travel (insulin and syringes or an
external Pump) in case of a medical emergency.
MiniMed info rmation card
Your doctor will give you a Patient Emergency Information Card when
you receive your Pump System. It provides information about your Pump,
as well as important phone numbers in case of a medical emergency.
CarryYourInformationCardWithYouAtAllTimes.It is also rec-
ommended that you wear a bracelet or necklace indicating that you wear
an implantable insulin Pump.
