FDA Approves Human Chip Implants

Filed in archive Healthcare by Anita Campbell on October 19, 2004

VeriChip has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for implant in humans for medical purposes. The chip will help track medical conditions, prescriptions, treatment history, health insurance and like information.

Applied Digital Solutions and its sister company, Digital Angel, have been selling implantable chips for animals for 15 years. And for the past 3 years they have been selling the chips internationally for security applications.

So the usage is not new, just the FDA approval part.

The company press release is here. But for much more information listen to the company conference call (October 13) replay on the company's website. It outlines the market rollout strategy for VeriChip's human medical usage.
