Applied Digital / September 12, 2005
DELRAY BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 2005--VeriChip Corporation, the world's
premier RFID company for people and a subsidiary of Applied Digital (NASDAQ:ADSX - News),
announced that this week it will be featuring live demonstrations of its state-of-the-art,
human-implantable RFID microchip as part of its VeriGuard(TM) Local Area Location & Access
application at the ASIS International 2005 Seminar and Exhibits show in Orlando, Florida. This
marks VeriGuard's first public demonstration in North America, providing security industry
professionals the opportunity to see an RFID security solution based on the use of implantable
microchip technology.
"As a provider of leading-edge RFID security solutions, we consider the ASIS International
conference a key event for us, as it gives us the perfect opportunity to showcase our patented
implantable technology and the related security applications," said Kevin McLaughlin, Chief
Executive Officer of VeriChip Corporation. "To those wishing to see the latest in RFID security
solutions - including applications using implantable, wearable, and attachable RFID tag technology -
we extend the invitation to visit the VeriChip booth at ASIS."
In October 2004 VeriChip received FDA clearance to market its human-implantable RFID microchip
for medical applications. About the size of a grain of rice, the chip is inserted just under the skin.
With its unique 16-bit electronic ID, the chip can be used in such applications as patient
identification in emergency departments or for access control in high-security areas. Unlike
conventional forms of identification, the chip cannot be lost, stolen, or duplicated, ensuring a level of
identification and protection never possible before.
At the ASIS show, VeriChip Corporation will be demonstrating its chip technology integrated with its
security application, VeriGuard. VeriGuard, a featured new product by ASIS this year, provides
individual location and distress alert capability, access control, and asset tracking for the
identification, location, and protection of individuals and assets. VeriChip's market-leading infant
protection and wander prevention solutions will also be on display.
