- All medications in any form or type
(for instance, pills, injectables, or homeopathic) and associated supplies (syringes,
Sharps disposal container, pre-loaded syringes, jet injectors, pens, infusers, etc.) are
allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened.
- Medications should be labeled so they
are identifiable.
- Medications in daily dosage containers
are allowed through the checkpoint once they been screened.
- Medication and related supplies are
normally x-rayed. However, as a customer service, BCAS now allows you the option of
requesting a visual inspection of your medication and associated supplies.
- You must request a visual inspection before
the screening process begins, otherwise you medications and supplies will undergo x-ray
inspection.
- If you would like to take advantage of this
option, please have you medication and associated supplies separated from your other
property in a separate pouch/bag when you approach the screener at the walk-through metal
detector.
- Request the visual inspection and hand your
medication pouch/bag to the screener.
- In order to prevent contamination or damage
to medication and associated supplies and/or fragile medical materials, you will be asked
at the security checkpoint to display, handle, and repack your own medication and
associated supplies during the visual inspection process.
Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be cleared visually must be
submitted for x-ray screening. If you refuse, you will not be permitted to carry
your medications and related supplies into the sterile area. |
