Infrared Thermometer

1. INFRARED THERMOMETER With social distancing becoming the new norm in every corner of the world, Malaysia is joining hands with other countries in taking up technologies that promote the same. The first and foremost caution taken at every entry level is to check the body temperature. After the Covid-19 outbreak, it became equally important for developed and developing countries like Malaysia to come up with techniques for measuring body temperature with less or zero contact with the other person. This led it to introduce “Infrared thermometers”. In Malaysia, Infrared thermometers function on the technique of use of a lens system to focus radiation onto an infrared detector that converts the energy absorbed into an electrical signal. These thermometers, also known as “Pyrometers”, enable one to measure temperature quickly, at a distance, and without touching the object one is measuring. They are so useful, easy, and even fun to use that they have become common in almost every household as in hospitals and other factory floors. With user-friendly techniques and easy understanding, not only professionals but even normal people like us and kids can also use it with great ease. In Malaysia, Infrared Thermometers come with great benefits which make them not an item of luxury but a necessity. These benefits can be underlined as- ●It has a non-contact approach that may reduce the risk of spreading disease between people being evaluated. ●Easy to use. ●Easy to clean and disinfect. ●Measures temperature and displays a reading rapidly. ●Provides the ability to retake a temperature quickly. ●Stress-free for both the patient and the caregiver. ●No ongoing cost and low maintenance. Thus, Infrared Thermometers in Malaysia have become a vital part of day-to-day lifestyle. With upcoming new designs and techniques, Infrared Thermometers in Malaysia have paved the way for a better and safe lifestyle with their better accuracy and easy usability.
