About FLIR EST Screening

FLIR Systems provides different screening solutions for detection of elevated skin tem-
peratures using thermal cameras.
No thermal cameras can detect or diagnose a virus infection, but with a FLIR EST
Screening system it is possible to identify individuals with elevated skin temperatures.
An elevated temperature may indicate the presence of a fever.
The FLIR EST Screening system measures the temperature of the skin around the tear
duct. An alarm will trigger when the measured temperature is higher than the sum of a
reference temperature and a specified allowed deviation.
For accurate screening results, it is very important to set up the screening station
correctly.
Since the FLIR EST Screening systems measure the surface temperature of the tear
duct, the measured temperatures are lower than the ones you may be used to in a fever
context. Note that the FLIR EST Screening systems cannot measure fever.
We recommend that you set up a suitable process for those individuals where the system
has indicated an elevated temperature.
