Use Temperature Screening Devices to Test for COVID-19 Symptoms
In some environments it is important to quickly detect if a person has a high temperature. A high temperature continues to be one of the main symptoms of the coronavirus (COVID-19), with Temperature Screening Devices providing a smarter, safer and faster way to identify an individual with an elevated temperature.
Temperature Screening Devices can help with Fever Screening by detecting elevated body temperatures in individuals in less than one second and with an extremely high level of accuracy. Temperature Screening Devices are not medical devices but they can be used as an effective preliminary screening tool, detecting individuals with an elevated body temperature. The Temperature Screening Devices provide real time alerts and voice prompts when an individual is seen and classified as having an elevated body temperature.
