Thermography cameras help prevent the spread of infectious diseases

HOW DO INFRARED CAMERAS WORK IN DETECTING DISEASE?
In a solution that is simple, reliable and stable, the Xenics Raven-384 Infra red camera can detect the heat transmitted from the skin and then produce a temperature map of a person in real time. Xenics recommends the body temperature to be checked at the corner of an individual's eye where the temperature approaches the core body temperature. A coloured image is produced where the colours represent temperature. Temperatures higher than a certain threshold can be highlighted.

HOW INTRUSIVE TO PEOPLE AND PROCESS IS THIS METHOD?
Totally harmless and non-intrusive, the camera is deployed at places of incoming travel such as airports, bus and railway stations. Pedestrian flow will not be influenced thanks to the high frame rate of the Raven-384 camera. Temperature differences as small as 0.050 degrees centigrade can be distinguished. The high-definition image quality permits accurate fever detection of both individuals and crowds. The examination takes no longer than a fraction of a second.

Easily set up on a tripod and using a standard Ethernet interface, the infrared camera can be controlled from a PC for temporary screening. At places with long queues such as passport or customs control points, where people can be screened on an individual basis, a fixed installation can also be maintained. Setup and operation is so simple that it requires minimum training of less than one hour before being fully deployable.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING THE XENICS RAVEN - 384 FOR MEASURING BODY TEMPERATURE?

1 Easy installation: The Raven-384 can be connected directly to a laptop with a standard Ethernet cable
2 Minimum operator training: Learn how to operate in less than an hour
3 Crowd screening: Infected individuals in crowds can be detected from a distance with high-definition images
4 Automatic alerts: Adjustable threshold set at 1 degree C above average temperature, with visual and audio alarms
5 Fast and discrete: No influence on pedestrian flow with 50 Hz frame rate
6 Accurate and stable temperature measurement: Precisely controlled black body reference for improved accuracy and stability.
