«VeriChip™
Corporation, a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ADSX) announced today that the Attorney General of
Mexico, Rafael Macedo de la Concha and some of his staff have
received a VeriChip for security applications. Although this
was previously confidential, the Attorney General announced
this security application at the recent opening of Mexico's
National Information Center.
The "chipping"
of the officials was facilitated by Solusat, the Company's
exclusive Mexican distributor. About the size of a grain of
rice, VeriChip™ is the world's first subdermal, radio frequency
identification microchip that can be used in a variety of
security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.
Applied Digital
Solutions has received numerous inquiries on the subject from
shareholders, but had been unable to confirm the news previously
due to confidentiality provisions in its agreement. About
VeriChip™ VeriChip is a miniaturized, radio frequency identification
(RFID) device that can be used in a variety of security, financial,
emergency identification and other applications.
About the
size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product contains a
unique verification number and will be available in several
formats, some of which will be insertable under the skin.
The verification number is captured by briefly passing a proprietary
scanner over the VeriChip. A small amount of radio frequency
energy passes from the scanner energizing the dormant VeriChip,
which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the
verification number.
In October
2002, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruled that
VeriChip was not a regulated device with regard to its security,
financial, personal identification/safety applications but
that VeriChip's healthcare information applications are regulated
by the FDA. VeriChip Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Applied Digital Solutions. For more information about VeriChip,
