At AESAH, we use the HomeAgain Companion Animal Retrieval System. The HomeAgain sterile transponder injection system consists of a sterile applicator with a preloaded sterile injectable transponder. By injecting the small sterile transponder into subcutaneous tissue, one ensures that the animal can be indentified for life electronically with its own unique 10 digit alphanumeric code. The code is preprogrammed into the transponder. Transponders are passive devices, meaning that the transponder carries no battery and remains inactive except when it is being scanned.
Each transponder's unique ID 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 from soda lime glass, which has been specially selected for known bio-compatibility. During manufacture, this glass is hermetically sealed to prevent moisture from the animal's body fluids from reaching the electronics inside. The transponder's electronic circuitry is energized by a low power radio beam sent by the scanner. It sends the ID number back to the reader, which encodes the number and then displays it on a small screen similar to an electronic calculator.
