  2. Objectives Given the information on Verichip™ in this power point, the learner will be able to: • Understand what Verichip™ is • Know how Verichip™ is used in the medical field • What hardware and software is needed to utilize Verichip™ • Ethical issues of human implantation of a microchip

  3. Verichip™ Objectives • Ethical/legal issues-Is big brother really watching every move we make • Nursing advantages: Quick, automatic and accurate access to patient medical information, no mistaken identify • Software needed for Verichip™ information access • Disadvantages of an implanted RFID chip

  4. Verichip™ Is… • The size of a grain of rice • Inserted under the skin • Silent and invisible • A dormant chip that stores a code that releases patient-specific information when a scanner passes over it • Not a record keeper but a code only RFID http://www.verichipcorp.com/

  5. Verichip™ • Verichip™-Identification, protection, prevention and medical management • Hardware and software is needed for Verichip™ • Radio frequency identification (RFID), FDA approved implantable RFID chip for humans. Information is always with patient, secure, reversible and never lost

  6. Verichip • Uses a scanner to read the RFID implant, linked to a database of information for the client • The nurse will use the scanner to obtain the 16-digit code from the RFID allowing access to a highly secure database to access the client’s information

  7. Verichip™ Has… • Already been implanted in pets • Been used successfully in other areas of life • Given the scanners to hospitals for free http://www.verichipcorp.com/
