Does anyone here know what kind of glass the HITAG S is made of? I hear some types are easier to 'break down' by your body.

Most of the implantable tags are made from Schott Bio-glass. Used for human implants it is inert with body tissue.

I've been in contact with a piercer who's asking questions about the tag and RFID. I think that it's great that she wants to look up all the info and not just give me a no straight away. Her last question is about RFID in general, and I think I have the right answer - but I want to make sure.
The question is if the tags send out signals. I think what she's trying to figure out is if these signals are harmful in any way. Well, the tags do send out radio signals. That's what the RF of the name is. The wikipedia article about RFID says: "Most RFID tags contain at least two parts. One is an integrated circuit for storing and processing information, modulating and demodulating a radio-frequency (RF) signal, and other specialized functions. The second is an antenna for receiving and transmitting the signal." I'm thinking that a tag only does this when it's close to a reader, and not all the time. Is that correct? |

The glass tags don't even really "send out a signal" like you'd expect a cell phone or FRS radio to send out a "signal". The tag is totally inert, with no power or ability to do anything until it's brought inside the magnetic field generated by the reader. Once there, the tag absorbs power from that magnetic field and "singals" the reader by simply modulating the field. This is different from the traditional "sending out a signal" people often think of, which is actually a radiant wave that eminates from a transmitter antenna.
Any risk to a person's health from exposure to anything in this world must be assessed by taking strength multiplied by duration. In the case of an RFID reader's magnetic field, the field strength must be multiplied by the duration of exposure, which is less than a second in most cases. Both the power output (strength) of the field, and the duration of exposure are so absolutely insignificant, in my opinion it (the operation of the tag) poses zero health risk. Compared to the exposure you get from your cell phone, in both strength and duration, use of a passive RFID tag is inconsequential. |

SmilingDog, I'm curious, can you supply Unique EM4102 2.12x12mm tags? I've looked online but only Sokymat seem to be able to supply them. I've bashed out an e-mail but that was only an hour ago... I'd happily pay you for the tags if I can get my hands on some that's compatible with the reader. Cheers Q |
