Thermoteknix Systems Ltd reacted to the ongoing H1N1 swine flu outbreak with the rapid launch of their new, low-cost FevIR Scan Skin Temperature Measurement system for mass screening of high pedestrian areas such as airports, train stations, factories and other public places. 

The system is shipping immediately ex-stock.  Now Thermoteknix have announced that FevIR Scan is available on a rental basis in mainland UK for a modest monthly fee.The miniature, discreet and ultra portable FevIR Scan Skin Temperature Monitoring system provides peace of mind with high speed sensitive temperature measurement for high volume pedestrian transit areas. 

The system is based on a Thermoteknix thermal imaging camera working in conjunction with a blackbody calibration unit for high accuracy temperature measurement with the option of a colour visible video camera display.  FevIR Scan is a tried and tested screening system which is serving in numerous countries including Thailand, Mauritius, Angola and in Mexico - where seven units have been installed.


FevIR Scan thermal imaging and temperature measurement system from Thermoteknix is easily installed, operated and re-located with the very minimum of setup time and operator training. On-screen alerts identify one or more individuals in a large crowd situation, aiding rapid dectection and maintaining passenger flow. The system is password protected to prevent unauthorised changes.

The SARS, Bird flu and now H1N1 swine flu viruses have affected tens of thousands of people and businesses with massive disruption to all people in all walks of life and FevIR Scan ensures that a high rate of human transit is monitored effectively without slowing queues in busy areas.

Thermoteknix Systems Ltd Managing Director Dr Richard Salisbury said:

‘Thermoteknix has been supplying skin temperature monitoring systems to airports and public places since the SARS epidemic in 2004 so we were ideally placed to respond immediately to the public need for for low cost skin temperature monitoring systems.  Our new FevIR Scan equipment is an even faster to install accurate, high resolution system which needs an absolute minimum of operator training and is reliable and simple to use.  We are delighted to say that we have been inundated with enquiries from all quarters of the globe for our FevIR Scan system and have just shipped seven units to Mexico where the disease initially broke out’
Thermoteknix FevIR Scan infrared thermal imaging cameras can detect temperature differences as small as 0.05°C and with their high resolution detectors and lens options cover a wide or narrow field of view as required for transit monitoring. A calibrated temperature reference source is included in the scene for the highest temperature measurement accuracy extending the performance beyond that of industry standard thermal cameras.
