RFID Sale: VeriChip Corporation Makes First Sale In Switzerland

VeriChip Corporation, a provider of RFID systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, announced recently that its wholly owned subsidiary, Xmark Corporation, has made its first sale in Switzerland.

Xmark's ProtecPoint wander prevention system is being installed at Stiftung Schloss Turbenthal, a center for the deaf and elderly in Gehörlosendorf, near Zürich. The system is to be installed by Xmark's dealer Avatech AG. The ProtecPoint system provides cost-effective protection for wander-prone individuals, and is part of Xmark's suite of RFID solutions to locate and protect people in indoor environments.

"Xmark continues to expand in overseas markets, building on our industry leading position in North America," said Daniel A. Gunther, President and CEO of Xmark. "We look forward to working with Avatech on future opportunities in Switzerland."

Mr. Martin Naef, manager of logistics and facilities at Stiftung Schloss Turbenthal, said, "We choose Avatech AG and the ProtecPoint solution because of the easy installation and administration. ProtecPoint provides effective support for the nursing staff. We have been able to reduce manually monitoring of wandering residents."
