Evaluation of a telethermographic system for temperature screening at a large tertiary referral hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic (Medical Study

Introduction

Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended to screen and triage everyone entering a healthcare facility for signs and symptoms of infection center in a large metropolitan area) in several single-file lines, and underwent individual symptom screening and temperature check by temporal artery thermometer that required skin contact and cleaning of the probe cone between uses. Despite optimizations, temperature screening resulted in long lines during employee shift changes which compromised social distancing and exposed screeners to hundreds of individuals in close proximity. During this period the United States Food and Drug Administration issued guidance for initial temperature assessment during a triage process using telethermographic systems (thermal cameras) which are...
