One method to measure a person\u2019s surface temperature is with the use of non-contact forehead infrared thermometers (NCITs). NCITs may be used to reduce cross-contamination risk and minimize the risk of spreading disease. While typically 98.6\u00b0F (37.0\u00b0C) is considered a \u201cnormal\u201d temperature, some studies have shown that &#8220;normal&#8221; body temperature can be within a wide range, from 97\u00b0F (36.1\u00b0C) to 99\u00b0F (37.2\u00b0C). Before  non-contact forehead infrared thermometers  are used, it is important to understand the benefits, limitations, and proper use of these thermometers. Improper use of NCITs may lead to inaccurate measurements of temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Benefits of NCITs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Non-contact approach may reduce the risk of spreading disease between people being evaluated<\/li><li>Easy to use<\/li><li>Easy to clean and disinfect<\/li><li>Measures temperature and displays a reading rapidly<\/li><li>Provides ability to retake a temperature quickly<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Limitations of NCITs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>How and where the NCIT is used may affect the measurement (for example, head covers, environment, positioning on forehead).<\/li><li>The close distance required to properly take a person\u2019s temperature represents a risk of spreading disease between the person using the device and the person being evaluated.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Proper Use of NCITs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The person using the device should&nbsp;<strong>strictly follow the manufacturer\u2019s guidelines and instructions for use<\/strong>&nbsp;for the specific NCIT being used. The manufacturer\u2019s instructions for use typically include the following information and recommendations for proper use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Preparing the Environment and NCIT:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The use environment may impact the performance of the NCIT. Instructions will typically include recommendations for optimal use, such as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Use in a draft-free space and out of direct sun or near radiant heat sources.<\/li><li>Determine if conditions are optimal for use. Typically, the environmental temperature should be between 60.8-104 \u00baF (16-40 \u00baC) and relative humidity below 85 percent.<\/li><li>Place the NCIT in the testing environment or room for 10-30 minutes prior to use to allow the NCIT to adjust to the environment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Cleaning Between Uses:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For cleaning NCITs between uses, follow the instructions in the Cleaning and Disinfecting section of the product instructions. Most NCITs should never be immersed in water or other liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Preparing the Person being Evaluated:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In preparation for taking a temperature measurement with an NCIT, the person using the NCIT should typically ensure that<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The test area of the forehead is clean, dry and not blocked during measurement.<\/li><li>The person\u2019s body temperature or temperature at the forehead test area has not been increased or decreased by wearing excessive clothing or head covers (for example headbands, bandanas), or by using facial cleansing products (for example cosmetic wipes).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4>Using the NCIT:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously noted, the person using the device should&nbsp;<strong>strictly follow the manufacturer\u2019s guidelines and instructions for use<\/strong>&nbsp;for the specific NCIT being used. In particular, the following are typical instructions for NCIT usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Hold the NCIT sensing area&nbsp;<em><strong>perpendicular<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;to the forehead and instruct the person to remain stationary during measurement(s). (See Figure 1)<\/li><li>The distance between the NCIT and forehead is specific to each NCIT. Consult the manufacturer\u2019s instructions for correct measurement distances.<\/li><li>Do not touch the sensing area of the NCIT and keep the sensor clean and dry.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/files\/figure_1.png\" alt=\"Figure 1: Correct Use \u2013 Forehead unobstructed, and NCIT perpendicular to forehead &amp; used at distance identified in manufacturer\u2019s instructions\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 1: Correct Use \u2013 Forehead unobstructed, and NCIT perpendicular to forehead and used at distance identified in manufacturer\u2019s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/files\/figure_2_0.png\" alt=\"Figure 2: Incorrect Use \u2013 Not perpendicular to forehead\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 2: Incorrect Use \u2013 Not perpendicular to forehead<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/files\/figure_3.png\" alt=\"Figure 3:  Incorrect Use \u2013Forehead exposed to direct sunlight outdoors\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 3: Incorrect Use \u2013 Forehead exposed to direct sunlight outdoors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nat_stuk\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nat.stuk\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite you to check out our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/usglobalbusiness.com\/?page_id=139\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blog<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nat-Stuk<\/strong>&nbsp;is a manufacturer of high quality pressure gauges, thermometers, thermowells, diaphragm seals, valves, pressure transmitters and accessories for a multitude of industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We serve a lot of industries including the agriculture, industrial, oil and gas, mining and marine industries all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nat-Stuk<\/strong> is committed to meeting our customer\u2019s needs through reliable, on time delivery of high quality, customized products, services, and solutions to their applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WE LISTEN TO YOUR NEEDS AND MAKE IT SIMPLE&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about our products, please contact our sales team at: <a href=\"mailto:contact@usglobalbusiness.com\"><strong>contact@usglobalbusiness.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Measuring a person\u2019s temperature can be done in several ways.
