11. Wh doesn’t ThermaCheck need a blackbod ?
A blackbody is a s able empera ure source used in he fac ory calibra ion of hermal cameras o make
heir empera ure measuremen s as accura e as possible. Some infrared cameras used for human
empera ure screening require a blackbody source in he background scene o ensure heir
measuremen accuracy. This increases bo h he cos and complexi y of he en ire body empera ure
measuremen solu ion wi h minimal added benefi o he user
ThermaCheck, on he o her hand, uses a US manufac ured infrared sensor core and advanced fac ory
calibra ion procedures ha op imize i for he measuremen of human body empera ures. I
au oma ically performs periodic environmen al compensa ion rou ines ha give ThermaCheck
superior empera ure s abili y and measuremen accuracy. We recommend ha our cameras be
calibra ed on he human face, using a medical grade hermome er.
Stabilit of ThermaCheck camera shown over a 30hr period.
12. Can ThermaCheck be used to diagnose illness?
No. The ThermaCheck camera is designed for preliminary empera ure screening only. Al hough he
available scien ific li era ure suppor s he use of infrared cameras for his purpose [1], hey canno be
used for medical diagnos ics since he skin empera ure is influenced by environmen al condi ions.
