INFRARED THERMOMETER 1"S

About

An infrared thermometer is an advanced non-contact medical device engineered to accurately measure body temperature by detecting the infrared energy naturally emitted from the skin, most commonly from the forehead or ear. This innovative technology facilitates rapid, hygienic, and precise temperature readings without requiring any physical contact with the patient. This characteristic makes it exceptionally well-suited for mass screening initiatives, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination, and for obtaining temperatures from uncooperative individuals, including infants, young children, or patients in critical conditions. Contemporary infrared thermometers frequently incorporate user-friendly features such as clear digital displays, memory storage for previous readings, and audible fever alarms, collectively offering a highly convenient, efficient, and safe method for temperature monitoring across diverse clinical and home healthcare environments.

Uses

• Non-contact body temperature measurement.
• Rapid fever screening in public health settings.
• Monitoring temperature in infants and young children.
• Reducing cross-contamination risk in healthcare.

Directions For Use

Point the thermometer at the forehead or ear from the recommended distance, press the scan button, and read the digital display. Follow specific device instructions for optimal accuracy.

Benefits

• Non-contact operation reduces infection risk.
• Provides fast and accurate temperature readings.
