Rapidly Scanning Employees and Guest Entering Your Business
FLIR is your premier FDA 510(k) certified thermography solution which can help in the global fight to limit access of potentially infected personnel to enter your facility. At airports, seaports, office buildings, and other mass gathering areas, FLIR thermal cameras are forming the first line of defense for public health organizations and industries faced with managing the risks associated with a global pandemic. These groups are using FLIR thermal imaging cameras and screening software for the initial screening needed to help detect people with signs of elevated skin temperature, or EST. Once identified, these people can be checked with a medical device to see if they have a fever, one of the symptoms of a coronavirus or other flu infection. This is a simple but effective way to help prevent the spread of virus among larger populations.
Not Just Any Camera Will Do
Because thermal imaging cameras can detect and visualize heat, it seems logical to use one in non-contact screenings for elevated skin temperature (EST). But this application isn't appropriate to every camera model or brand.
Thermal cameras that offer temperature measurement as well as a high thermal pixel resolution and accuracy are the best choice. Popular FLIR models like the Exx-Series and T-Series cameras meet these base requirements, but more importantly, also offer a built-in Screening mode designed for EST applications.
