The global H1N1 pandemic has made the healthcare industry more aware than ever before of the risks involved in treating patients, and this is leading to dramatic changes in treatment protocols.
Contact-free technology is much less likely to spread contagious disease germs than those devices that require even a minimum of contact, which is often the case in the thermometers commonly used in medical offices and hospitals.
And it’s incredibly easy to use. Simply aim the unit’s sensor toward the forehead, two inches from the skin*, and press the button…and in one second the temperature reading is displayed on the viewer!

Facts from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
- “During the 2007–2008 season, flu was associated with greater overall mortality, and higher rates of hospitalizations among children aged 0-4 years compared with each of the previous three seasons.”
- 2009 brought the outbreak of the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, leading the world to the first Phase 6 Pandemic in nearly 50 years, according to the World Health Organization.
- More than half of the world’s cases of swine flu are have been diagnosed in the United States.
- Even past the “traditional” September-May flu season, the CDC has reported in early July that there were higher levels of influenza-like illness than is normal for this time of year.
