National Medical Device Registry
______________________________________

Contrary to what some people think and are proclaiming, the creation of this Registry does not mandate compulsory microchipping of the population. It simply establishes guidlines by which the FDA will assess the safety and effectiveness of Medical Devices, including Implantable Microchips (which are classified as Class II Devices). How such evaluations may be used in the future is unknown, but at present, the FDA does not have authority to require microchipping of any sector of the population.
