Why not do it yourself?
Do you know enough about fever screening and infrared?
Are you familiar with:
- The full range of infrared cameras, systems, and ancillary equipment available?
- The full range of infrared spot meters available?
- The characteristics and limitations of each type of camera or spot meter?
- The US FDA 510(k) regarding the use of “Medical Devices”?
- The recent modifications to the US regulations as a result of the COVID-19 crisis?
Do you have:
- Certified Level III Infrared Thermographers on staff?
- Are your entry monitoring personnel, security guards, or receptionists, fully trained?
- Do you know how to train them?
Convince yourself that you should hire the experts…
Do You Know Where to Look?
See below, a diagram of places on the body where temperatures could be taken to see if fever is present.
You’ve seen all of these used, either on TV or the internet or personally.

Body Test Points
Click a test point and see why it's wrong here.
Forehead
WRONG!
Testing the forehead can give inaccurate readings for internal body temperature!
Wrist
WRONG!
Testing the wrist can give inaccurate readings for internal body temperature!
Axillary
WRONG!
Testing the armpit is slow, messy, and invasive.
Oral
WRONG!
Testing in the mouth is slow, messy, and invasive. It also will violate required distancing.
Here’s the right way, the right tool and the right place – the way that the experts at Entry Scan IR will set up for you
The inner corner of the eye (medial canthus) is the correct location. This is the best place to measure a person’s outside temperature to estimate their core temperature. And a radiographic infrared thermal imager with recording capability is the right equipment.
- It is a well protected location, so less affected by the environment.
- It has very high emissivity.
- As the image shows, it is the warmest spot on the face, and therefore closest to internal temperature.
- A recording system will confirm that you did the right thing.
