Are you familiar with:
Do you have:
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.
Click on the points and see which ones you should rely on, then call us!
(Reminder – this is rigged.)
Click a test point and see why it's wrong here.
WRONG!
Testing the forehead can give inaccurate readings for internal body temperature!
WRONG!
Testing the wrist can give inaccurate readings for internal body temperature!
WRONG!
Testing the armpit is slow, messy, and invasive.
WRONG!
Testing in the mouth is slow, messy, and invasive. It also will violate required distancing.
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.
In Case You Needed to See One More Instance of How it Can Go Wrong
Wrong choice of equipment. Errors in technique. Not the way to run an Entry Scan IR program for your facility!
Spot Radiometer / Temperature Gun on Forehead
Really Bad Fever Screening
The temperature being taken is that of the boy’s hair!
That’s not going to find out if he has a fever.
And to make matters worse, the tester is far less than six feet from the subject.

Infrared Wrist Temperature Check
Really Bad Fever Screening
An unknown error sufficient to prevent a valid fever decision is introduced by whether the sleeve was just covering the test area or not.
That’s not going to find out if there is a fever.
As shown, this is being self administered. That’s not safe or practical in an entry screening system. If an entry monitor did it, they’d be far less than six feet away.
