HomeAgain(TM)
COMPANION ANIMAL RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
Subcutaneous Injection Only - Dorsal midline between the animal's shoulder blades.
Provides positive, permanent identification for the life of the animal.
The HomeAgain Sterile Transponder Injection System consists of a sterile applicator with a preloaded sterile injectable transponder. By injecting the small sterile transponder into the subcutaneous tissue, one ensures that the animal can be identified for life electronically with its own unique 10-digit alphanumeric code.
The code is preprogrammed into the injectable transponder, which is preloaded into the needle of the applicator.
Transponders are passive devices, meaning that the transponder carries no battery and remains inactive except when it is being scanned.
Each transponder's unique identification number is encoded during the manufacturing process. Once the number is encoded, it is impossible to alter. The outer casing of the transponder is made rom soda lime glass which has been specially selected for known biocompatibility. During manufacture, this glass is hermetically sealed to prevent moisture from the host-animal's body fluids from reaching the electronics inside.
The transponder's electronic circuitry is energized by a low-power radio beam sent by a compatible reading device. The transponder sends the identification number as a radio signal back to the reader, which then encodes the number and displays it on a small screen similar to that on an electronic calculator. And, the transponder contains no batteries to replace.
BIOBONDTM Antimigration Cap: While glass is biochemically inert, it also is very smooth, which could allow the transponder to migrate in the animal's body. Therefore, the HomeAgain transponder has one end sheathed in a polypropylene shell. This coating offers a surface with which fibrous connective tissue begins to bond within 24 hours.
