omnipod and x-rays

[Heather Callaghan]

When having an x-ray do you deactivate pod and remove and then how long can you leave it before setting up new pod?

 

[Pumper_Sue]

Depend where the pod is in comparison to your xray.

 

[Heather Callaghan]

Well a mammogram and I usually put pod on my abdomen

I was told I must remove my pump before having a mammogram as they had no lead skirt to isolate it.
I was able to apply a new pump immediately afterwards.

I was told it was fine to leave mine on and the sensor as well.
Mine only removed for MRI scans.
