Ircon® and Raytek® Infrared (IR) Systems Offer First Line of Defense That Can Help Identify Elevated Skin Temperature

SANTA CRUZ CA, USA — Fixed infrared scanners and thermal imagers from Raytek/Ircon, as well as handheld IR thermal imagers from its parent company, Fluke, can be used at airports, terminals, hospitals, schools, factories and public gathering areas to identify people with elevated temperatures resulting from an infectious disease, such H1N1 influenza A (aka, “Swine Flu”).

Individuals who register a fever can then be isolated for further evaluation to help prevent the spread of disease. continue reading »

No Mention of Body Temperature Screening at Hospitals, Schools and Transit Junctions!!! (An Editorial)
Washington DC, USA — Here’s a 13 minute video showing statements this past Friday by Mayor Adrian Fenty and the D.C. Department of Health discussing the city’s swine flu preparations (It takes a few seconds to get through the commercial..please wait – it’s worth it in many ways).

Similar programs are in place in New York and elsewhere.

We noted that the plans cover much and focus on prevention, except for use of mass screening tools, like specialty Infrared Imaging Systems to detect those with possible fever.

Such Infrared  systems are in wide use in many countries outside the USA, especially densely populated countries in Asia. Most are made in the USA!
