VeriChip: VeriTrace System being shown

VeriChip Corporation, a provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, will be exhibiting at the American Academy of Forensic Sciences (AAFS) 60th Anniversary Scientific Meeting in Washington, D.C. from February 20-22. The conference, which will take place at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, is the premier event for forensic science professionals and the industry’s source for cutting-edge information. The Company will demonstrate its VeriTrace™ System to coroners, medical examiners and other forensics experts during the conference, which has generated a majority of VeriTrace sales historically. VeriTrace is designed to assist state and federal agencies in the management of emergency situations and disaster recovery using implantable RFID technology. The VeriTrace System includes an implantable RFID microchip, a VeriTrace Bluetooth™ handheld reader, a customized Ricoh 500SE Digital Camera capable of receiving both RFID scanned data and GPS data wirelessly, and a Web-enabled database for gathering and storing information and images captured during emergency response operations. This database ensures the precise collection, storage and inventory of all data and images related to remains and the associated evidentiary items. The Web-enabled database also allows the recreation of an accurate and complete reconstruction of a disaster setting, crime scene or similar setting where recreation is necessary.
