2.1. Elevated skin temperature versus body core temperature.
An infrared sensor does not monitor the core body temperature but the radiated
temperature of the skin. It is important to understand that the skin temperature is not
the same as the core body temperature. The known fever temperature of 37.5
°
C or
100.4
°
F is the core body temperature. Skin temperature is significantly lower.
Studies following the SARS and N1H1 outbreaks were conducted in respect to IR
temperature scanning of people to detect potential cases of fever. We recommend the
user of the system to read the sources below.
If the event of a potential elevated skin temperature being recorded, it is important that
this should always be confirmed using a secondary screening with a medical grade
device.
