VeriChip products marked by the “Implantable” icon mean they utilize
the implantable, passive RFID microchip, the VeriChip™, in their
solutions for the purpose of automatic identification.
About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip inserts just under
the skin and contains only a unique, 16-digit identifier. The chip
itself does not contain any other data other than this unique
electronic ID, nor does it contain any Global Positioning System
(GPS) tracking capabilities. And unlike conventional forms of
identification, the VeriChip™ cannot be lost, stolen, misplaced, or
counterfeited. It is safe, secure, reversible, and always with you.
Once inserted just under the skin, via a quick, painless outpatient
procedure (much like getting a shot), the VeriChip™ can be scanned
when necessary with a proprietary VeriChip reader, whether handheld
or wall-mounted. A small amount of radio frequency energy passes
from the reader energizing the dormant microchip which then emits a
radio frequency signal transmitting the individuals unique
verification number. This number can then be used for such purposes
as accessing personal medical information in a password-protected
database or assessing whether somebody has authority to enter into a
high-security area.
VeriChip is the only company in the world today to offer an
implantable FDA-cleared RFID microchip and offers this option in its
VeriMed and VeriGuard systems.
