Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 These chips will have severe effects on one's acupuncture meridian energy system and have serious health consequences. Under-the-skin ID chips move toward U.S. hospitals By Michael Kanellos, Staff Writer, CNET News.com July 27, 2004 VeriChip, the company that makes radio frequency identification--RFID--tags for humans, has moved one step closer to getting its technology into hospitals. The Federal Drug Administration issued a ruling Tuesday that essentially begins a final review process that will determine whether hospitals can use RFID systems from the Palm Beach, Fla.-based company to identify patients and/or permit relevant hospital staff to access medical records, said Angela Fulcher, vice president of marketing and sales at VeriChip. VeriChip sells 11-millimeter RFID tags that get implanted in the fatty tissue below the right tricep. When near one of Verichip's scanners, the chip wakes up and radios an ID number to the scanner. If the number matches an ID number in a database, a person with the chip under his or her skin can enter a secured room or complete a financial transaction. " It is used instead of other biometric applications, " such as fingerprints, Fulcher said.
