Infrared imaging - Helping to combat the threat of swine flu

When rapid screening of a large number of people is required to prevent the spread of fever, the most effective method is a fixed thermal imaging system. The system can be installed to look at the faces of people passing through a doorway. If elevated temperatures are detected an alarm will sound to enable staff to take the person away for a more detailed consultation with a health care professional. The LAND Human Body Temperature Monitoring System integrates a thermal imager with a certified calibration source, providing unparalleled accuracy compared to other imaging camera techniques. This proven solution has been successfully operated at airports around the world since the SARS outbreak in 2003. Equally during the 2007 Avian flu outbreak the system proved its worth. Now in 2009, LAND has a proven system to help tackle the potential swine flu pandemic. For further information go to vIRalert Fever Screening System
