Hi All,
This is probably going to be the most bizarre request of the day but here goes...
Does anyone know where I can find details about the materials used in the making of ID chips for implanting in animals?
Why do I need to know, you ask?
Well, six years ago I had one implanted just under the skin, between my right shoulder-blade and spine and it has remained there quite happily ever since. It now turns out that I need to have an MRI scan due to a damaged knee. I didn't think it would be a problem but the hospital now want details of the materials as they are worried that either, 1. The chip could move, causing damage to me, or, 2. It may damage their very expensive machine.
I can totally see both reasons to be cautious but I'm having trouble finding the info required. Can anyone help? Suggestions or links will be appreciated.
