https://www.vetsurgeon.org/f/non-clinical-questions/25491/has-anyone-used-the-new-sureflap-id-chip-reader In January 2017 SureFlap launched a pocket-sized microchip reader and I was wandering if anyone has used it and how did they find it? Was it OK? Thinking of getting one for myself for my locum work. Thanks :) Martin en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/175590?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 07 Mar 2017 09:54:16 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:3f3a97f8-7ffc-4821-9fc4-c0cd4f404f97Bob Russell<p>Not sure how much the Sureflap one is but I bought a Halo scanner via Ebay as a cheap and cheerful one to have in reserve. Actually turned out to be a little gem!</p> <p>It reads the temperature chips (in Celsius) but also links to a database that informs you if the chip/patient has been reported as missing or stolen. Had one last weeks so that bit can work!</p> <p>Not sure how comprehensive the lost/stolen bit is nor which databases it links to.</p> <p>Worth the &pound;40 odd that it cost!</p> <p>(Charges via USB port/charger so no batteries either!)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
