Airport security x-ray equipment typically emit low doses of radiation. The dose of radiation that scanned objects typically receive from security x-ray equipment is 1 millirad or less.[1] For comparison, people receive on average a radiation dose of about 620 millirad each year. Half of this dose comes from natural background radiation.[1,2]

The FDA states that there are no known adverse effects from eating food, or taking medicine that have been irradiated by x-ray equipment used for security screening.[1]

Roche has not tested the effect of radiation emitted by security x-ray equipment on the stability of Evrysdi solution. Exposure to the level of radiation emitted by such devices and the radiation experienced in a typical airplane flight is not expected to impact Evrysdi solution.[1]
