About MyImplant and Its RFID / NFC Technology
​
What is it? the Difference Between RFID and NFC?

 

RFID is is a generic name for a series of technologies that allow objects to be identified using radio waves (RF). This means that many of the technologies that communicate wirelessly can be considered "RFID", including the cell phone which has multiple radio transceivers, each with unique identifiers (MAC addresses, IEMI, etc. .).

   

Typically, when someone talks about "RFID Tags", they are referring to passive (unpowered) tags, which may vary in frequency, memory capacity and operating characteristics.

 

NFC is is a subdivision of RFID created by Nokia, Sony and Philips where its standards are defined by the NFC forum. These NFC standards are made up of two basic parts, passive RFID tags (NFC tags) and active (point-to-point) communication devices. The NFC standard defines 4 different types of passive RFID tags that can be used as NFC tags, based on their memory structure and communication protocols (frequency, encoding ;o, etc.). Thus, all 4 types of "NFC tags" These are just RFID tags that were chosen by the NFC Forum.

 

For example, a Mifare Ultralight label is suitable for use. a passive RFID tag that operates at 13.56 mhz and communicates using ISO14443A. The Mifare Ultralight has a memory structure that can be formatted and used as a type 2 NFC tag. However, the Mifare S50 1K tag is also portable. a passive RFID tag that operates at 13.56 mhz and is also ISO14443A, but it is not standard. NFC compatible. The memory structure used by the "classic" tag S50 Mifare 1k is not compatible with is compatible with the NFC standard and is therefore not compatible with the NFC standard. considered an "NFC tag," even though it is commonly sold as an "NFC tag" by many suppliers.

About the Structure of MyImplant - ChipNTAG216 of 13.56mhz.

 

The chip  A small, cylindrical-shaped, 13.56 MHz high-frequency transponder based on the NTAG216 tag. The NTAG216 has 888 bytes of programmable memory, 32-bit password protection security features, and is easy to use. both ISO14443A and NFC type 2 compliant. It is enclosed in Schott 8625 biocompatible glass, which has been approved by the APP as a safe piercing material.

 

The chip can be used with commercial systems that work with ISO14443A, as well as the most diverse NFC devices such as cell phones, smart locks,  electronic readers (pc, arduino and other micro controllers) etc.​​

How Resistant is it? the Implant? (I practice gun shooting/climbing/martial arts/fighting super villains, etc.)

 

Injectable implants are encapsulated in bio-safe glass, but they are not indestructible. However, of the hundreds of chips that have been installed in the correct orientation and in the suggested location on the hand (between the thumb and index finger), we have not yet found any reports of any type of damage. breaks.

 

Outside the body, chips can be broken if pressed between a hard surface. However, once inside the body, the skin and casing around the chip do an excellent job of buffering against any brute force impacts that might hit the implant.

 

There are reports of several people who have injured their hand in some way or even injured themselves. They even ended up hammering directly on the implant without causing any type of damage to it.

 

We also perform various stress tests on the chip, including force, liquid nitrogen, vacuum tests ;cuum and pressure. In all cases, the chips will not suffer degeneration:

 

  • No degradation when subjected to 500N of force;

  • No degradation after exposure to 0.482mBar of pressure (almost perfect vacuum);

  • No degradation after dipping for 5 seconds in liquid nitrogen;

  • No degradation after exposure to 6 bar, or approximately 87 psi of pressure.

MyImplant is Compatible With Medical Devices Such As Magnetic Resonance Imaging / X-ray etc?

 

The implants are compatible with the most diverse medical and safety equipment. People with 125KHz and 13.56 MHz chips passed magnetic resonance examinations of type 1T, 1.5T and 3T strengths, without any complications. It is worth mentioning that there is There is a small blurring of the image in the area around the implant, but the chip itself does not heat up or explode or cause any type of reaction to the equipment.

 

Additionally, the MythBusters were kind enough to prove this compatibility in Season 5, Episode 19 - MythBusters Revolution. In this episode, the old 134KHz VeriChip was implanted in Kari Byron and a piece of pig, both of which underwent MRI exams. In the episode you can clearly see the distortion of the image around the implant.

 

Here you go. a PubMed article on compatibility of RFID chips with magnetic resonance imaging devices until now. 3T: http://www.NCBI.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/23763334.

Is there any type of problem with security systems such as metal detectors / airports / courts etc?

 

There is no problem with any security system. It is basically the same as a dental filling, not being enough to activate even the tooth filling. even the most sensitive metal detector.

 

Additionally, deployed people have consistently passed through full-body scanners at U.S. airports without reporting any problems. Finally, the chip is not detected until even when handheld metal detectors are placed directly over the implanted site.

About the Implant Procedure
?
By Whom Are Chips Implanted? a>

?

We suggest that the procedure be carried out by an experienced body modification professional, such as a piercer. Even though the piercer is the most suitable person to perform this procedure, other professionals such as doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals also have the necessary experience.

?

In order to improve procedural safety and increase global access to professional services in clean and safe studios, we have established our reference network of partners. Find a professional prepared to carry out your implementation in our referral map es of implant professionals.

 

Chips are sold pre-inserted inside the needle of a disposable syringe. This means that the professional must prepare the skin of the hand in the area of ??the triangle between the thumb and the index finger, then must apply it. lift it and insert the needle under the skin, implant the chip and remove the needle. The same should be done. sit directly under the dermis, and sutures are not necessary.

?

?

?

About the Regulation of Implants.
?

The consensus around the world is: that implants are characterized as being a type of piercer and, therefore, must follow the recommendations regarding them.

?

The USA has approved the device for medical applications since 2004 and has never recorded any problems with the implants. In both Europe and Brazil, there are no specific regulations for this type of procedure.

?

In Brazil, in alignment with the rest of the world, Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) also recommends following good sterilization practice procedures Standards and hygiene in tattoo studios and piercers.

How to Approach a Professional for Implementation?

 

If you don't already have any type of contact with professionals in this area, you'll need to take a look. You can look for local professionals for a first approach and to get the procedure done.

 

You you will have best results if you follow the following steps:

 

  • Call or walk in until a local piercer professional to schedule an appointment. Say that you intend to talk to him about the specifications before deciding to perform the procedure. He must be happy to welcome you.

  • Print the FAQ page or present it to the professional so that he or she can learn more about the procedure.

  • Always carry the product with you, but don't expect to deploy it on the same day.

  • Explain what this is about. the implant and why you want to be implanted. Allow time for the professional to analyze the procedure and read all the documentation.

  • It may be necessary to visit more than one store to find the best professional to perform the procedure.

  • Perform the implantation and have fun with your new chip.

 

Please let your piercer know that they can contact us if they have any questions. We can also register you and nominate you on a list of qualified professionals who have already qualified. performed this procedure previously, after their first implantation.

Does the Implant Procedure Hurt?

 

The deployment process (in the suggested location and according to guidance) is simple. It is described as slightly less painful than donating blood and less painful than typical body piercings. There are There is a slight pinching sensation when the needle passes through the skin and is removed. only this. Usually people are surprised by how little pain there is during the procedure.

?

?

?

How Long Does the Implant Last?

?

Since there is no type of battery, the chip has a limited lifespan. Use indefinitely, lasting more than 20 years of use.

?

?

?

Several Chips Can Be Installed on the Same Motherboard; o, or Install one in One Hand With Magnetic Implant?

?

Although it is possible, it is not recommended that multiple chips be installed in the same hand due to interference issues .

 

However, one can safely install the chip in a hand with a magnetic implant, as long as the chips are not inserted into the hand. o are within the chip's communication area (generally 5cm).

?

?

?

Does the Implant Leave a Scar?</span

 

Yes, but the scar is scarred. It is very small and usually unnoticeable after just a few weeks. See the comparison images immediately after implantation and after a few weeks.

Implant Location and Orientation ;o.

 

NFC chips only have the ability to communicate over short distances, no more than 3cm, so the user is not able to communicate at all. rio must be able to manipulate and position the implant with the greatest degree of freedom and range of movement possible.

 

Because of its dexterity, the human hand is is the ideal location for implementation. More specifically, this is the area between the metacarpal bones of the thumb and index finger. We call this region the   "triangle" and we consider it the ideal location for the following reasons:

 

  • Low risk of nerve damage;

  • Low risk of damaging blood vessels;

  • Low risk of damaging tendons;

  • Plenty of soft tissue to help absorb harsher impacts;

  • Good distance from the bones.

 

Ultimately, the chip must be implanted parallel to the metacarpal bone of the finger with at least 5mm away from it. Folds in this region should also be avoided, as mechanical stresses in the area can cause problems with rupture and rejection.

​

The Chip Can Be Implanted in Another Region of the Body , Another Area of ​​the Hand or Perhaps on the Palm Side?

 

Even though it is possible, we do not recommend that chips be installed anywhere on the body other than between the thumb and the index finger. The reason for this is; The chips are resistant, but not unbreakable, that is, they should not be subjected to unnecessary force or stress. Therefore, placing the implant in any other area of ​​the hand presents additional risk.

​

​

​

Implementation Procedure.

 

Assuming you already have all aseptic preparation of the operating field and sterile equipment has been carried out, as well as antiseptic preparation of the incision site, in accordance with the best guidelines practices:

 

  1. Remove the safety clip from the injection assembly piston:

    The safety clip is A plastic retention clip, designed to adhere to the plunger in the syringe housing and prevent it from being activated. Remove this clip during material preparation.
     

  2. Measure and mark the metacarpal bone of the index finger:

    Find the trapezoid and trapezoid bones, where the metacarpal bones of the thumb and index finger meet. Next, find the next interphalangeal joint (next knuckle) of your index finger and measure this distance. Using an industry-accepted, skin-safe marking pen, mark a small T over the center point of the metacarpal bone of the index finger so that the top of the T is parallel to this bone and the leg. of the T point outward toward the metacarpal of the thumb.
     

  3. Mark the top of the "hump":

    Press your thumb sideways against your index finger and notice that the muscle in that region will move towards the index finger. It forms a small hump that projects slightly on the back of the hand between the metacarpus of the index finger and thumb. Mark the top of this area with a point directly adjacent to the leg of the T mark you made earlier. This brand of "center" will typically denote the approximate center of the "triangle".
     

  4. Pinch the skin:

    Hold the skin only around the center mark and pull it away from the muscle tissue. Roll the skin to try to detect and dislodge any blood vessels.
     

  5. Choose a place at least 15mm in front of the central mark:

    The implant is 12mm long, so you must choose an incision site that is in front of the center mark to ensure there is enough space between the target site and the incision site .
     

  6. Insert the needle between the dermis and muscle tissue:

    When pressing the needle into the skin, be sure to control its horizontal alignment (so as to keep the needle parallel to the metacarpal bone of the index finger) and its vertical alignment (so as to keep the needle parallel with the tissues of the hand to ensure that no dermal tissue or muscle is punctured).

    To facilitate the use and reading of the implant, please note that the incision must be made superficially, keeping the implant close to the skin and preventing it from the same is inserted deeply into the 'triangle' by hand.
     

  7. Reach the central mark and deposit the implant:

    Gently guide the needle until it stops. approximately 12mm beyond the center mark. If necessary, loosen the grip of the forceps on the skin slightly and continue to insert the needle. The reason for inserting the needle until this depth is that the chip will normally move back approximately 4mm to 6mm during healing, thus being centered just under the center mark.

    When the ideal depth is reached, move the needle 12mm away, so that the tip of the needle is under the center mark. This will create an empty space for the chip to be implanted. Press the syringe plunger slowly and the chip should pop out. be ejected to fill the space created by the needle.

    Once the plunger is fully depressed, it should be pressed. If you feel and possibly hear a click, then the implant will have a click. the tip of the needle has been completely expelled. Now you can gently remove the needle (the tip of the plunger is made of plastic, and it will be visible at the end of the needle tip). Immediately cover the wound with gauze. ;ril and apply pressure for 2 to 5 minutes, until stop the bleeding.

Healing and Aftercare.

 

Once the implant is implanted, Placed under the skin, bleeding caused by the needle should stop within 5 to 30 minutes. Minor swelling or irritation may also occur, which should be avoided. disappear within 2 to 24 hours. After the first 24 hours, you can wash your hands and shower normally.

 

Over the course of two to four weeks of installation, the body will begin to coat the chip with collagen. Although it is not necessary, to help this process you can take vitamins that help build collagen and connective tissues.

 

During this time, it is necessary to It is recommended that there is no intense physical activity or any activity that will put pressure on the implant. Avoid poking the chip, wrestling, climbing, shooting, using excessive force, or any other activity that may cause the muscles in your hand to apply uneven pressure to the chip, causing the even migrate under the skin.

 

There may also be experiences such as momentary tingling, itching, or pinching sensations at the implantation site during the next few months. This is This is normal as it indicates that the body is healing around the chip.

​

​

​

É Easy to Remove or Replace the Chip in the Future?

 

The chips are easy to remove. Unlike implants in animals, our chips for humans are not coated with biobond or parylene, facilitating the removal process. approximately 3 to 6 mm.

​

​

​

Removal Procedure.

 

Although it is relatively simple to remove the implant, this procedure will require surgery. skill and patience, as the organism forms a fibrous capsule around the chip.

 

Do not use metal forceps to attempt to manipulate the implant while inside the body.

 

Assuming you already have All aseptic preparation of the operating field and sterile equipment has been carried out, as well as antiseptic preparation of the incision site, in accordance with best practice guidelines ;ticas:

 

  1. Place a sterile glove on the opposite hand (assistant hand) to the one containing the implant to be removed.

  2. As a form of assistance, press the index finger of the non-implanted hand on the palm area of ​​the implanted hand located just below the chip, as shown in the image below.

  3. Press with the thumb of your assistance hand on the other side of the implanted hand so that the back end of the chip is pushed down and the front end becomes visible. speed.

  4. Mark the location slightly in front of the front edge of the chip.

  5. Without using the assistance hand, place the implanted hand on a flat surface. With the help of a scalpel, carefully begin the incision through the dermal layers. The incision should be between 3 and 6mm long, perpendicular and centered just in front of the front end of the chip.

  6. Once again, repeat the assistance procedure described in steps 1 and 2 with your non-implanted hand.

  7. Orient the angle of the blade at 90 degrees downwards so that it is parallel to the angle of the implant. Through the open incision, continue to work the blade toward the chip. The fibrous tissue capsule around the chip will not allow it to occur. that it simply slides out of the incision. You you will have which is deliberately opening the way through this capsule of fibrous tissue.

  8. Once the capsule is sufficiently compromised, the chip will slide out. easily out. Your assistance hand can help with this process by pressing and moving your thumb sideways to force the chip out through the incision site.

  9. Once the chip is removed, return the implanted hand to the resting position. At this time, a new sterile replacement implant can be carefully placed into the cavity. Once the new chip has been inserted, or if it is no longer desired, close the wound with a steristrip or suture.

About Using the Implant

?

?

?

How do I record information on my implant?

 

There are many ways to record information on your implant, basically any 13.56MHz recorder will be able to record it. communicate with the same.

?

If this is For your first time dealing with NFC systems, we recommend using a smartphone that has the NFC function and downloading the NFCTools application available in the cell phone's Store so that you can record the implant through of the same.

?

We also recommend researching NFC technology on the internet, there is a lot of information available about it.

?

?

?

Compatible Devices.
?

MyImplant was designed entirely in accordance with NFC Forum Type 2 specifications and ISO / IEC14443 Type A specifications. ; 13.56MHz and has data transfer of 106Kbit/s.

?

All cell phones with NFC are compatible with MyImplant.

?

As a rule, all devices that work with the 13.56MHz frequency and ID modulation will be compatible with MyImplant.

?

?

?

É Is it possible to read the implant inside the applicator?

 

No, due to the metal coating of the applicator it is not suitable for use. It is possible to record the implant since it is still inside the applicator. Only after its application will it be possible to record the implant. It is possible to program the same.

?

É It is important to highlight that all implants are tested before sterilization and that the packaging must not be opened before the application procedure. Once the packaging has been opened, the product should no longer be considered sterile.

?

?

?

É Is it possible to track MyImplant?

?

No, the chip does not have any coupled georeferencing system (GPS), which makes it impossible to locate  geographical location of the implant. Furthermore, it is turned off most of the time, since activating it is necessary. It is necessary to get close (3cm) to an electromagnetic field provided by an appropriate reader, such as cell phones with NFC, electronic doors, computer NFC readers, etc.

?

?

?

É Is it possible to make payments with MyImplant?

?

The payment methods available today are cryptocurrencies and our internal system which is currently in progress. available to partners only.

?

Although credit card technology is compatible with MyImplant, banks do not accept it as a replacement for the card credit. If they ever accept, we are ready to provide them with the necessary information to carry out the integration.

About RFID Keys.</span

?

In general, people believe that the tag must be programmed to serve as a key to various electronic systems. However, this is This is a common misconception in thinking about using RFID tags as keys. This type of thinking is natural, because this  This is the typical way that traditional doors work, but it is normally incorrect for RFID system.

 

In general, the authorization system is not in the program stored in the tag's memory, so it does not There is programming to be done on the tag in order to gain access to multiple ports or systems. Each tag has a unique ID (called UID), and these identifications are unique to the tag. or programmed into the electronic systems and not the other way around. For example, if you want 1000 people to enter through door A, you must register the 1000 IDs in the electronic system ;door and not the "key" This approach means that You can use the same RFID tag with multiple ports and different systems.

?

In short, to make your implant work as a key, simply add it as a new key as recommended by your system manufacturer . The same will It will work on the most diverse electronic devices that work at 13.56MHz. If this is not you, the system administrator, simply ask him to include the implant as a new tag using the same standard procedure for adding keys to your system.

?

?

?

Cloning vs Emulation.

?

Emulate means you are using using an active circuit to impersonate a tag. This basically means tricking the reader's system into thinking they are reading the text. speaking to the original tag instead of a circuit board designed to pretend to be that tag.

?

Cloning means copying the UID of a tag as well as the memory contents of a "source tag" the other "target tag" so that the two correspond exactly.?

?

?

Project Company's Position on Implants.
?

Project Company is against any type of IMPOSITION OR OPRESSION regarding the use of implants in human beings.

 

We believe that everyone should be free to choose which device best suits their needs. So, if someone doesn't like the idea of ??the implant, they have numerous other options at their disposal, such as: our ring, MyRing, which is developed with the same technology as MyImplante or even even compatible tags and keychains with NFC technology.
