Jersey Infrared Consultants Launch IR FeverScreen
Service uses thermal imagers to detect feverish persons
BURLINGTON, N.J., April 14, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Jersey Infrared Consultants announced today the availability of IR FeverScreen™, a new service aimed at detecting potential carriers of COVID-19. Using sophisticated thermal imagers, IR FeverScreen™ can quickly detect persons with an elevated body temperature before they enter a building.
Lucia Beach, President of Jersey Infrared Consultants, said, “We are very excited by the launch of our IR FeverScreen™ service. Drawing upon the extensive experience of our team of certified infrared thermographers, we can provide thermal imagers and personnel to virtually anywhere. Our goal is to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 by quickly identifying those exhibiting an elevated body temperature.”
Since 2003, thermal imaging has been used globally to detect potentially feverish persons as they pass through airports or transportation centers. The 2020 pandemic has created record interest among companies and facility managers seeking to protect the health of their workforce and guests by identifying feverish persons prior to being allowed entry to their facility.
With IR FeverScreen™, thermal imagers are placed at entrances to a property to rapidly screen people before they enter and mingle with others. Persons exhibiting an elevated body temperature can be asked to have their temperature taken using contact thermometry in order to confirm their body temperature.
Ms. Beach concluded, “Although modern thermal imagers are quite user friendly, it takes a trained operator to set up and operate the equipment properly. Failure to do so can lead to a high number of false positives or allow persons with a fever to enter a facility where they are likely to infect others. In order to ensure accuracy, our IR FeverScreen™ equipment is operated by highly experienced certified thermographers using thermal imagers appropriate for human body temperature measurement. Our ability to rapidly mobilize allows clients to be up and running within 24 hours of contacting us.”
