AVID Technology
Advanced micro-electronic technology has enabled AVID to develop a system that provides precise, secure and permanent animal identification.
The AVID Animal Identification System utilizes its own unique and patented* technique, based on radiowave communications, to identify animals on demand.
The AVID Animal Identification System is comprised of the following two components:
|
AVID Microchip:
Microchip shown here larger than actual size. Actual size is about the size of a large grain of rice.
|
PASSIVE - No power supply to replace or cause harm to animals.
SMALL - About the size of a grain of rice.
SIMPLE - Standard injection procedure implants the identity tag quickly and safely. No anesthesia is required or recommended.
SAFE - The micro-electronic device is encapsulated within a proven bio-compatible glass.
RELlABLE - Accident or injury to the animal will not prevent the reading of the identity tag.
UNIQUE - Each identity tag is manufactured and programmed under computer control to insure against duplication of I.D. codes. No two animals would have the same number.
UNALTERABLE - Once implanted, the identity tag is virtually impossible to retrieve. Surgical removal, using the most advanced radiograph techniques available, is extremely difficult. The number can never be altered.

AVID Microchip Reader
 |
• Generates a low energy radio signal that energizes the identity tag to transmit its unique number.
• The received number is displayed on a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) in an easy to read format.
• Reading time is measured in "Milliseconds".
• Can transmit via a standard RS-232 interface to a computer supporting custom applications.*
• Manual, Remote or Computer controlled operational capability.*
• Battery powered. Standard 9V or rechargable.*
• Compact and lightweight. Total unit weighs less than two pounds. AVlD's intelligent and thoughtful design has produced an identity tag reader that is practical for use in both field and clinic environment.
* Depending on model and options selected.
AVID Holds U.S. Patent Numbers 4,333,072 - 321,069 - 318,658 - 5,214,409 and 5,235,326
