Crystal Tag Pet Microchip FDB-X Transponder According to ISO Standard 11784

The future of microchipping is here. The Crystal Tag 15 digit microchip is fast becoming the standard for traveling pets all over the world. This microchip is required in most European countries, and soon will be used worldwide in all countries that require microchipping.

The uses for the Crystal Tag microchip reach far beyond traveling to foreign borders, however. Identification Technology is crucial in the pet world whether it involves competition, shelter, or animal control. As our pets cannot speak for themselves, it is our obligation as owners to protect them should they get lost. Microchipping allows for identification that cannot be removed or misplaced. Better yet, the microchip is readable beyond the life of the pet ensuring that a dog, cat, or horse that needs to be identified for whatever reason, will be.

Included free with every one of our microchips is registration to PETLINK, a 24 hour, 7 day a week, international pet recovery service. If a pet's microchip is found through scanning, then the pet can be reported as lost on www.petlink.net or by calling 1-877-PETLINK. Once the pet owner's information is found, PETLINK will contact the pet owner with information as to where to pick up their pet. How reassuring is it that your precious companion will have the best chance of being reunited with you? With all of the challenges of traveling, certainly this affords the pet owner the greatest peace of mind.

The Crystal Tag transponder is preloaded into the implanter consisting of a spring assisted syringe. It can be used with any sterilized, disposable needle with a cannula measuring 38 mm ± .05 (an inside diameter of 2.3mm +0.02/-0.01) with a luer lock 6% which is in compliance with ISO Standard 594. The sterile pack has colored indication (yellow) to confirm it has been sterilized with Ethylene Oxide. Each microchip contains an individual, preprogrammed code which consists of an animal identification code that is in accordance with ISO Standard 11784. The code is unique worldwide, is permanent, and cannot be altered.

Inside its bioplastic casing, the transponder contains an antenna coil and a chip which requires no battery. The bioplastic casing is not breakable and can be read whenever stationary or in motion.

Here are some of the advantages of the Crystal Tag microchip:
  • Totally passive, no battery
  • Miniaturized for animal implantation
  • Permanent, 15 numeric digits code, 128 bits EEPROM
  • Identification code in accordance with ISO Standard 11784
  • 6 adhesive bar coded labels
  • Sterilized by EtO gas
  • Extremely durable

Recommended Microchip Implantation Sites


Although market practice has been to implant microchips between the shoulder blades ofthe animals, studies show that to reduce the possibility of migration, implantation should be done as follows:

For dogs:    subcutaneous on the left side of the neck, behind the ear, lateral of the fourth to the fifth cervical vertabra

For cats:    subcutaneous on the left side of the neck, behind the ear, lateral of the fourth to the fifth cervical vertabra

For horses:  Subcutaneous or intramuscular in the upper center
