Swine flu (H1N1)

Fever Scan M3000 Series: System for SARS / Avian Flu / Bird Flu & Swine Flu(H1N1) Detection

The Cantronic Systems Inc. Fever Scan M3000S System is designed for mass screening of public areas; using IR technology, it finds individuals with elevated body temperatures. As a group of people walk past the camera, a thermal image is displayed. Body temperatures above a predefined value can be visually identified and then further assessed by medical personnel. Swine Flu, Swine Flu, Swine Flu, Bird Flu, SARS, SARS

The FeverScan M3000S is a dynamic real time thermal imaging camera system that is capable of evaluating hundreds of people per minute, so pedestrian flow is not restricted. The Fever Scan M3000 is ideal for mass screening for SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), Avian Flu, Bird Flu and Swine Flu(H1N1) in areas like airports, railway or subway stations, seaports, and any other public facilities.

FeverScan M3000D is a system improvement upon our popular M3000/M3000S system. It adds a visual sensor to the thermal, creating a dual sensor camera head. The visual/thermal comparison allows for easier/faster screening—the operator can screen for fever and identify at the same time.
