1.1 A description of the XTend Max universal stick scanner
Datamars’ XTend Max is a portable, universal stick scanner used for scanning companion animal
microchips.
It reads all prevalent microchips available in North America. It is ideal for scanning aggressive,
stressed or feral animals without direct contact by placing added distance between you and the
animal for added safety.
XTend Max is one piece, not an extension – so you do not have to keep track of any extras or figure
out how to attach it to another device. XTend Max is bite proof, so it can also take a bit of abuse! It is
ideal for field use, especially for animal shelters, rescues and animal control agencies.
