If you have an Abbott device, it's important to keep your ID card with you at all times when you're away from home. Here's why:
- In emergency situations, your ID card lets medical personnel know you have an implanted device. It also lists Abbott's toll-free number.
- When traveling by plane, you'll need to show your card to safely pass through airport security screening devices.
- The identification card contains information about your implanted device and can help your surgical team identify the appropriate device Instructions for Use and review relevant electrosurgery‑related precautions.
- The identification card has a reminder to place the device in Surgery Mode.
