Typical Operation
A number of screen arrangements can be selected from the setup menu. The side by
side mode is shown here with the visible image on the left and the IR image on the
right.
In this screen arrangement the alarm information is displayed at the top and any
temperatures on the IR image measured above the alarm value will be coloured red.
The actual temperature is shown in a red box adjacent to the subject’s face and
will
move with them as they move position in the scene.
Below the threshold temperature and in a larger font. Normally this will be below
the threshold temperature and the font colour will be green. During an alarm
condition the readout will change to red.
Alarm text will also be overlaid on the thermal image, stating
“
Check subject with an
approved thermometer”
. Skin may be unusually hot for reasons other than a fever
(see section 5). Core temperature must be measured to confirm a fever. This must be
taken with a thermometer in a medically approved method, e.g. a tympanic
membrane or oral temperature measuring thermometer.
The software is typically set up to capture a still thermal and visible image when
each alarm condition happens. These are shown in the pair of thumbnail images in
the lower part of the screen. These are always the latest images captured. Warning
text is not overlaid on the stored still images when they are recalled.
