An infrared clinical thermometer detects the thermal radiation given off by the skin and converts it into a temperature reading. Because nothing touches the patient, readings can be taken one after another, which makes it practical for screening a queue of people, checking a sleeping child or taking temperatures in isolation areas.
The user aims the IR sensor at the skin from 3–12 cm, depending on the model, and presses the finger or thumb trigger; an alert confirms when the measurement is complete. The hold function keeps the latest reading on screen, while the high and low temperature alarms draw attention to readings outside the expected band. Schools can include it in a school lab equipment bulk supply order for their sick room or health corner.
