RFID began many years ago for tracking livestock, but back then it was referred to as Tags and had limited data. \u00a0<\/span>Destron Fearing<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0has two kinds of tags, one that is attached to the farm animal, and one that is injected into the animal, whether it be a fish, cow, pig, cat or dog. \u00a0“<\/span>Life chip<\/span><\/b><\/span>” is one of the names the injectable RFID is known by today. \u00a0In Canada most SPCA animal shelters chip the animals before the animal is adopted. \u00a0 Some animals had the chip removed due to CANCER caused by\u00a0the chip.<\/a>\u00a0(see article below)<\/span><\/p>\n

The well known names “Verichip<\/strong>” (2001<\/a>) and “Digital Angel<\/strong>” (2000<\/a>)\u00a0were the next generation of RFID, but as the idea of this technology was discussed in the media, people had growing concerns over privacy<\/strong> and health effects<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, the Cell Phone industry was already under critizism from users getting brain tumours<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, which may have set back the RFID implant industry in the early 2000’s. \u00a0Since that time the company has changed names and is now under the brand names \u00a0Positive ID<\/a>\u00a0(PSID) \u00a0and \u00a0Veri Teq<\/a>, mostly focusing on devices to assist various medical fields, \u00a0however they are likely still considering the implant rfid for future usage at some point.

Even with the radiation risks, some believe it will be implemented via the Obamacare Health plan as shown in videos below.<\/p>\n

\"range\"<\/a><\/p>\n

RFID tags are classed based upon a frequency or some folks call a read range\u00a0<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Low Freq Range: 50cm. \u00a0 Use: Good for tagging pets\/people<\/strong><\/p>\n

– High Freq Range: 3m. \u00a0 \u00a0Use: Access control for buildings, doors<\/p>\n

– Ultra high Freq Range: 9m. \u00a0 \u00a0Use: Pallets, Boxes for inventory control<\/p>\n

– Microwave Range: >10m. \u00a0 \u00a0Use: Vehicle tracking<\/p>\n

RFID Journal says : “<\/em>Verichip is said by media coverage to be operating at \u00a0134 kHZ<\/strong>\u00a0 passive tag<\/a>\u00a0“<\/em><\/p>\n

Spetrum IEEE says :<\/em> \u00a0“The chip consists primarily of a coil of wire that acts as an antenna and a microchip capable of generating a radio signal that encodes 128 bits of information and is readable from, at most, centimeters away. The reading device emits a magnetic field that oscillates at a frequency of 134 kilohertz<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The reader and the chip\u2019s antenna basically form a transformer, turning the oscillating magnetic field into current in the implant.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is interesting to see the change in frequency from 460 MHZ to 134 kHZ<\/strong>. \u00a0Spectum IEEE thinks its only going to send data a few\u00a0<\/span>centimetres, where below, Digital Angel and Verichip were thinking longer distances – to cellular antennas and\u00a0satellites.<\/span><\/p>\n

APPLIED DIGITAL SOLUTIONS INTRODUCES VERICHIP\u2122, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/b>A MINIATURIZED, IMPLANTABLE IDENTIFICATION DEVICE WITH A VARIETY OF MEDICAL, SECURITY AND EMERGENCY APPLICATIONS<\/span><\/b><\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 <\/p>\n

PALM BEACH, FL — December 19, 2001 – – Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX)<\/b>, an advanced digital technology development company, announced today that it has developed a miniaturized, implantable identification chip — called VeriChip\u2122 — that can be used in a variety of medical, security and emergency applications.<\/p>\n

How VeriChip Works<\/b>
\nVeriChip is an implantable, 12mm by 2.1mm radio frequency device about the size of the point of a typical ballpoint pen. Each VeriChip will contain a unique identification number and other critical data. Utilizing an external scanner, radio frequency energy passes through the skin energizing the dormant VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the identification number and other data contained in the VeriChip. The scanner will display the identification number, but the VeriChip data can also be transmitted, via telephone or the Internet, to an FDA compliant, secure data-storage site. It will then be accessible by authorized personnel. Inserting the VeriChip device is a simple procedure performed in an outpatient, office setting. It requires only local anesthesia, a tiny incision and perhaps a small adhesive bandage. Sutures are not necessary.<\/p>\n

Medical Device Identification<\/b>
\nHundreds of thousands of medical devices are surgically implanted into patients every year. Examples of these life-saving and life-enhancing devices include pacemakers, artificial joints, orthopedic hardware, heart valves, and medication pumps. After insertion, these devices often require adjustment, repair, replacement, or even recall. VeriChip, inserted subdermally just above the implanted medical device, provides patients, medical providers, and manufacturers with a rapid, secure and non-invasive method for obtaining medically critical information about the device. VeriChip is a ready source of data about the patient\u2019s name and condition as well as the medical device\u2019s original components, required settings and other essential parameters. Future applications may include full medical record archival\/retrieval for emergency medical care.<\/p>\n

Emergency or Security-related Identification<\/b>
\nPersonal identity verification technology has gained considerable interest recently. A great deal of focus has been trained on so-called \u201cbiometric\u201d technologies \u2013 which identify individuals by their unique biological or physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, voiceprints, retina characteristics, and face recognition points. VeriChip, by contrast, relies on imbedded, tamper-proof, microchip technology, which allows for non-invasive access to identification, medical and other critical data. Use of advanced VeriChip technology means that the threat of theft, loss, duplication or counterfeiting of data is substantially diminished or eliminated. Specific application areas include: enhancement of present forms of identification, search and rescue, and various law enforcement and defense uses.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the announcement, Richard J. Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions stated: \u201cWith VeriChip, Applied Digital has taken another significant step in developing leading-edge personal security technologies for a rapidly evolving marketplace. VeriChip<\/strong> joins Digital Angel<\/strong>\u2122 and Thermo Life\u2122<\/span> in our repertoire of breakthrough technologies<\/strong>. All of these are designed specifically to save lives, enhance personal security and improve quality of life. We\u2019re looking forward to working with the medical community and other potential partners to bring VeriChip to market as quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
