Can I travel with the monitor?

Yes. The monitor weighs about a pound, fits in a suitcase, and should pass easily through airport security. Make sure to bring your Device Identification Card in case you are questioned by airport security. The monitor works via a SIM card just like a mobile phone. As long as there is adequate cellular coverage in the country you are travelling to, your MyCareLink monitor should work as normal. For further assistance please call the BeConnected Patient Helpline on 00800-2666-3282 or +441923202543 (from mobile phone or abroad).
