At AESAH, we use the HomeAgain Companion Animal Retrival 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, whichs
encodes the number and then displays it on a small screen similar to an
eletronic calculator.
