It’s been a ~2.5 weeks since I got a pair of LF xLEDs in each hand, but I can’t get either to light up even a little bit. They feel fully healed (barely even sore to the touch). I tried a bunch of different readers, including a 134.2/125 kHz animal scanner that lights up my tester like the sun. I know they are picky about angle, but laying the xLED tester over my hand in the same orientation works great. I even tried a nfc scanner to be safe lol
I notice in the tester unit I got the led fires forward, in a 180 degree arc. Is it possible the installer put mine upside down and they’re shining into my hand? That seems unlikely for - especially for both - especially especially as he’s done quite a few. Am I just being impatient or is it possible I’m just ignorant to some critical piece of information about these chips?
Typically this is due to blood pooling around the implant and blocking the light. Depending on how you heal, this could take a few days to several weeks to finally clear.
Phew, at the very least that’s validating I hadn’t totally missed anything obvious. I’ll hang tight another week or two before I start to panic lol
Appreciate!
Just to rule this worry out entirely, (even though Amal resolved your timing worries), the implants will turn inside of you. In the morning it could be facing “up”, and by the time you finish your first cup of coffee it could be facing “down”. But don’t worry, as the glass will refract a decent bit of the light around to the other side(s) anyways.
That’s funny, it makes perfect sense but I didn’t even think about them rotating. The LED’s seem super capable so I am not surprised that even down it bounces back up! I appreciate you putting my mind at ease on that lol
