FLIR Exx-EST is a thermal camera that can be used to screen passengers, customers,
or employees for signs of elevated skin temperature.
FLIR Exx-EST has built-in FLIR EST Thermal Screening functionality. You can also con-
nect the FLIR Exx-EST camera to the desktop software FLIR Screen-EST.

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 Thermal Screening Solution it is possible to identify indi-
viduals with skin temperatures that are above a specified threshold. An elevated skin
temperature may indicate that the screened person has fever symptoms.
The FLIR EST systems automatically measure the surface temperature around the tear
duct, analyze the measured temperature, and display a screening result. If the measured
temperature is higher than the sum of a reference temperature and an allowed deviation,
an alarm will trigger.
To improve the accuracy of the screening results, it is important to set up the screening
station correctly.
Since the systems measure skin surface temperature, the temperatures in the FLIR EST
systems are expected to be lower than 37°C (98.6°F). Note that the FLIR EST 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 and safety
laws.
