Infrared thermal imagers have a wide range of applications in quarantine control, especially during epidemic outbreaks, where they can play an important role. Here are some examples of the application of infrared thermal imagers in quarantine control:
Body temperature detection
Infrared thermal imagers can be used for non-contact temperature measurement. The infrared radiation emitted by the human body is related to body temperature. Through a thermal imager, the body temperature of multiple people can be quickly measured, thereby identifying individuals with potential fever symptoms, helping to detect patients early.
Personnel screening
In public places, transportation hubs, and other locations, infrared thermal imagers can be used to screen a large number of individuals to detect abnormal body temperature, helping to prevent the spread of viruses.
Border and port quarantine
Infrared thermal imagers can be used to monitor individuals at border ports, identifying those with abnormal body temperature and strengthening border quarantine measures to prevent cross-border transmission of viruses.
Isolation area monitoring: During epidemics, infrared thermal imagers can be used to monitor the body temperature of individuals in isolation areas, ensuring effective monitoring of the health status of isolated individuals and preventing the spread of viruses within the isolation area.
Medical institution application: Infrared thermal imagers can be used in medical institutions to help medical personnel quickly identify patients with fever symptoms and take appropriate isolation and treatment measures.
Epidemic monitoring: Infrared thermal imagers can be used to monitor the trend of epidemic spread. By tracking temperature abnormalities among the population, a better understanding of the spread of the epidemic can be achieved, allowing for timely adjustments to prevention and control measures.
It is important to note that while infrared thermal imagers have many advantages in quarantine control, they also have limitations. For example, they can only detect surface temperature and cannot directly measure internal body temperature. Factors such as environmental temperature and humidity can also affect measurement results. Measurement accuracy is influenced by equipment quality and operating methods. Therefore, when using infrared thermal imagers, it is necessary to combine other methods and devices, make comprehensive judgments to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of quarantine control.
