Can a VeriChip implant be disabled?
There is no official procedure for disabling an implanted microchip. Because the device has no power source or moving parts to wear out, in theory it could transmit indefinitely. If a microchip implant is subjected to a strong electromagnetic current it may cease to function. According to field tests, a VeriChip that has gone through a high power MRI scan, for example, may no longer respond to a reader. However, EMF exposure is not a recommended method for disabling an implanted chip, since it could cause the device to heat up in the body and potentially cause internal burns.
