Five days after the Sept. 11 attacks, Richard Seelig spent about five minutes implanting two "Verichips" -- each no larger than a small breath mint -- below the skin of his right forearm and right hip. Seelig, who works for the Florida company that developed the chips, said he was moved to action after hearing tales of rescue workers scrawling their names and Social Security numbers onto themselves. The Montville resident had a medical practice in Denville for many years before his medical license lapsed in June 1999. Applied Digital Solutions of Palm Beach, Fla., touts its chips as a "tamper-proof" identification system. They contain radio transmitters and about two paragraphs of information, and the data can be scanned from up to 4 feet away with a proprietary wand that activates the transmitter. Company officials said the chips are under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. [...] Copyright © 2001 North Jersey Media Group Inc.

(Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced digital technology development company, announced today that it has developed a miniaturized, implantable identification chip -- called VeriChip -- that can be used in a variety of medical, security and emergency applications. How VeriChip Works VeriChip 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. Medical Device Identification Hundreds 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 patients name and condition as well as the medical devices original components, required settings and other essential parameters. Future applications may include full medical record archival/retrieval for emergency medical care. Emergency or Security-related Identification Personal identity verification technology has gained considerable interest recently. A great deal of focus has been trained on so-called biometric technologies 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. Commenting on the announcement, Richard J. Sullivan, Chairman and CEO of Applied Digital Solutions stated: With VeriChip, Applied Digital has taken another significant step in developing leading-edge personal security technologies for a rapidly evolving marketplace. VeriChip joins Digital Angel and Thermo Life in our repertoire of breakthrough technologies. All of these are designed specifically to save lives, enhance personal security and improve quality of life. Were looking forward to working with the medical community and other potential partners to bring VeriChip to market as quickly as possible. [...] Copyright 2000, Applied Digital Solutions Inc.
