This is a universal microchip reader which can read all of the following microchip types:
• FDX-A (FECAVA) microchips
• FDX-B ISO microchips
• Trovan microchips
• Avid Encrypted microchips
• Temperature-sensing microchips
from Allex® or Destron Fearing™
What are temperature sensing microchips?
Temperature-sensing microchips are primarily identication microchips, compatible with
ISO 11784/11785 and universal readers. However, they also incorporate a temperature
biosensor, capable of measuring an animal’s temperature at the implant site.
Temperature-sensing microchips are a non-invasive way of frequently measuring a pet’s
temperature, without causing stress. Multiple measurements taken consecutively can
establish a trend of individual animal prole or average temperature and variability.
Atypical variations from this trend can be indicative of changes in an animal’s well-being.
Microchip Temperature is not a replacement for rectal temperature, and should
not be interpreted as such. Microchip Temperature and rectal temperature, although
correlated, are not equivalent and should not be expected to show identical readings.
If an animal with a temperature-sensing microchip is
scanned with the 24PetWatch reader, their internal
Microchip Temperature will be visible on the LCD
screen alongside their microchip number. See page 6.
