[Intl_DxMedPhys] insulin pumps and CT

[Philip Doyle]

We aim to follow these useful recomendations (which include situations whereby the device may not be removed):https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/electronic-medical-devices-x-ray-imaging-and-radiation-therapy-what-know-and-how-prevent-damage/preventing-damage-wearable-diabetes-devices-during-imaging-and-radiation-proceduresRegards,Phil__;!!KGKeukY!0O_knvmmBikx0P29q4qZo0nnmOQMCBTPQ7DBzIMsU07OhFHvIMO-csfk6NrOC5SJGuoDBz_cUnY8pb0WVCik4TCBgjjUcDy5ZaQ5rxiqjA$ .

Anyone have a policy for insulin pumps and sensors other than “taken them off” for CT they are willing to share? huge risk if they malfunction…possible death, so I get why folks defer to the vendor policies which don’t

huge risk if they malfunction…possible death, so I get why folks defer to the vendor policies which don’t appear to be actually tested inside a scanner.

 
 
I found this paper, link below. But it basically says listen to the vendors. It seems in practice, this would be complicated if we have to have  a workflow where each device is looked up.
