  • Walkers, crutches, canes, and other devices that can fit through the x-ray machine must undergo x-ray screening (with exception of white collapsible cane)
  • Ask the screener for assistance (arm, hand, shoulder to lean on) until you are reunited with your device.
  • The screener will perform a hand inspection of your equipment if it cannot fit through the X-ray machine.
  • Notify the screener if your device requires special handling.
  • Walkers will be visually inspected and any attached basket, pockets, or compartment(s) will be physically inspected.
  • All items hanging from a cane or walker must be submitted for x-ray inspection.
  • Ask the screener for assistance, if needed, when placing items on the x-ray belt.
  • Ask for assistance with your device if you need it.
  • Collapse canes whenever possible before they are put on the x-ray belt.

Once devices have been screened, screeners will hand back your device to you in such a manner that helps you proceed without difficulty.
