 ThermoScreen
Mass Fever Screening
ThermoScreen provides a
noninvasive and cost effective method of screening individuals for high body
temperatures that may indicate a fever. By identifying people who may
be infected, ThermoScreen can help prevent the spread of contagious
diseases such as Avian flu (bird flu) and SARS.

Description
Designed specifically for mass fever screening, ThermoScreen
was originally developed in response to the need to screen large numbers of
individuals for fever during the SARS outbreak in 2003. ThermoScreen
technology allows subjects to be screened at a distance, without contact,
providing a discreet and safe method of detecting feverish individuals. ThermoScreen is capable of evaluating hundreds of individuals per minute so
as not to restrict pedestrian flow. ThermoScreen is currently used in hospitals,
airports, seaports, and businesses to help prevent the spread of contagious diseases such
as influenza, Avian flu (bird flu), and SARS.
To achieve the high accuracy required for reliable fever
detection, each ThermoScreen camera undergoes a rigorous calibration
process. Furthermore, OptoTherm employs sophisticated hardware
and software developments to compensate for environmental changes to further
improve the accuracy of screening measurements.
ThermoScreen
is sold as a complete, fully tested system including a PC with preinstalled
hardware and software.

How It
Works
ThermoScreen is a
completely passive device and emits
no harmful radiation. ThermoScreen measures skin temperature by
detecting and quantifying the infrared energy that is continuously being
emitted from the human body.
As individuals walk past the screening station, skin
temperatures above a pre-defined threshold are detected and displayed in
bright colors on the computer screen. An audible alarm is activated to
notify personnel that a temperature violation has occurred. To allow
continued screening of individuals during a violation, the three most recent
violation images are displayed on the screen.
When mounted in the mobile computer stand,
ThermoScreen can easily be moved to alternate locations to screen
additional groups of people or to accommodate changes in pedestrian traffic.
