More Information
Summary:597925 Disclosed is a wirelessly detectable tamper-evident seal. The tamper-evident seal includes a receptacle part (see '10', figure 1a) and a frangible part (see '50', figure 1a). The receptacle part includes a first receptacle (see '10a', figure 1a) and a second receptacle (10b-d) which is attachable to a container (77) to seal a closure of the container. The frangible part includes a first portion (see '51', figure 3a) and a second portion (see '52', figure 3a) frangibly connected to each other and a transponder (see '54', figure 3a). The first receptacle of the receptacle part is adapted to receive the first portion of the frangible part and the second receptacle of the receptacle part is adapted to receive the second portion of the frangible part. The second portion of the frangible part is able to be trapped against movement in the reverse direction in the second receptacle to effect a tamper evident seal between the first and second receptacles. The transponder includes at least two circuit interruption locations (see '94a' & '94b', figure 4) that must be connected to activate the transponder. The transponder is activatable by inserting the second portion in the second receptacle to connect both or all circuit interruption locations. A method for sealing a container with a wirelessly detectable tamper evident seal is also provided.
