FLIR EST Thermal Screening
Solutions
FLIR Systems provides different screening solutions for detection of elevated skin tem-
peratures using thermal cameras.
No thermal camera can detect or diagnose a virus or infection, but with a FLIR EST Ther-
mal Screening Solution it is possible to identify individuals with skin temperatures that
are above a specified threshold. An elevated temperature may be one indicator that the
person being screened may have a fever.
The FLIR EST Thermal 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.
To improve the accuracy of the screening results, it is important to set up the screening
station correctly.
Since the FLIR EST Thermal 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 Thermal Screening systems cannot measure core
body temperature or diagnose a fever.
It is up to you to set up a suitable core body temperature measuring process, and a proc-
ess for those individuals where the system has indicated an elevated skin temperature in
accordance with applicable local data protection, employment, and health & safety laws.
