Little Chip in the Big Apple! Thursday September 25, 9:24 am ET New York City's first subdermal RFID VeriChip ``chipping'' procedure performed yesterday at lower Manhattan Authorized VeriChip Center Journalist researching a story about RFID technologies undergoes brief outpatient procedure at the office of Dr. Christopher Mills and Dr. Vincent Scarpinato PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 25, 2003-- Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News), an advanced technology development company, today announced that New York City's first subdermal VeriChip(TM) "chipping" procedure was performed yesterday (September 24, 2003) at the Company's lower Manhattan Authorized VeriChip Center. A journalist at a technology-related trade publication decided to Get Chipped(TM) in researching an upcoming article regarding RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies, including VeriChip. The lower Manhattan Authorized VeriChip Center is located in the office of Dr. Christopher Mills and Dr. Vincent Scarpinato, 88 University Place, New York City (Tel: 646-486-0871). The brief outpatient "chipping" procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves only local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the VeriChip. About the size of a grain of rice, the subdermal RFID VeriChip can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications. The standard location of the microchip is in the triceps area between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm. Once inserted just under the skin, the VeriChip is inconspicuous to the naked eye. About VeriChip(TM) VeriChip is a subdermal, 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 that 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 is 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.
