Pregnancy, implants or pacemakers: What you need to know before and during the security check.
Health information –for pregnant women and people with implants
Pregnant women
Pregnant women can safely pass through the security check at Zurich Airport. The control systems used are safe for pregnant women and their unborn babies. If preferred, a manual search can be requested as an alternative.
Each airline has different rules governing up to which week of pregnancy you are allowed to fly and whether you need a medical certificate.
People with implants
Implants and prostheses
We recommend that you carry an implant or prosthesis passport with you. Please also observe the manufacturer’s recommendations for your medical device and allow enough time for the security screening. As an alternative to the scanner, you can request a manual search.
Pacemakers
Security scanners do not affect the functioning of pacemakers. Please follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and allow enough time for the security check. As an alternative to the scanner, you can request a manual search.
