Thermal Imaging Cameras Used for Skin Temperature Screening,
Offering a Faster Solution for High Traffic Areas
FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) today announced the FLIR
Screen-ESTTM software for FLIR T-Series, Exx-Series, and A-Series
thermal imaging cameras. The software provides automatic
measurement tools that perform elevated skin temperature screenings
of individuals in two seconds or less at entries, checkpoints, and
other high-traffic areas while maintaining recommended social
distancing guidelines.

“Governments and businesses across the globe are hard at work
developing new processes to ensure public health and safety from
COVID-19, including the use of radiometric thermal imaging cameras
as part of a comprehensive frontline screening program,” said Jim
Cannon, President and CEO at FLIR. “Now with FLIR Screen-EST
software, those organizations can increase the speed and accuracy
of frontline screening when using FLIR’s thermal cameras.”
The FLIR Screen-EST Method
FLIR Screen-EST software is designed to automatically take a
skin temperature measurement near the tear duct of each person, the
surface area most closely correlated to core body temperature. When
used with T-Series, Exx-Series, or A-Series cameras, the software
enables screening of individuals to occur 50 percent faster than
FLIR Systems’ existing on-camera screening mode, accelerating
throughput. If the software detects a skin temperature that exceeds
a threshold set above the baseline average, Screen-EST will notify
the operator and display or sound an audible alarm on the subject’s
viewing monitor. The individual then should be directed to a
secondary medical screening*.
Honed through nearly two decades of experience designing and
manufacturing thermal measurement solutions for skin temperature
screening, Screen-EST automatically takes skin temperature samples
at the screening location to determine an average skin temperature
baseline. It then adds additional samples throughout the day. This
relative temperature screening method helps accounts for regular
body temperature fluctuations caused by natural biological and
external environmental factors, thus reducing the amount of
inaccurate readings that can impact absolute temperature alarm
systems.
FLIR Screen-EST software is for Windows-based laptops and
desktops. It offers a plug-and-play connection for FLIR thermal
imaging cameras and can be installed or removed within minutes.
This provides additional flexibility for operators to easily move
locations or to quickly detach the camera for other purposes,
including facilities maintenance or machine inspection.
FLIR Screen-EST software for T-Series cameras is available for
purchase globally today for $595 USD, 595€ EUR, and 499£ GBP in
English only on FLIR.com and through FLIR authorized distributors.
Screen-EST software for Exx-Series and A-Series will be available
in later this month. To learn more, please visit

* FLIR cameras are for frontline skin temperature screening
only. They do not detect fevers, viruses or any specific medical
ailment. Anyone who exhibits an elevated skin temperature must
receive secondary screenings conducting by medical personnel with
medical-grade equipment to determine a diagnosis.
