With the increasing number of Swine Flu cases in India, The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has decided to purchase thermal imagers / infrared cameras to be installed at Indira Gandhi International Airport New Delhi, from Fluke Corporation, to help them screen passengers coming into the country with H1N1 influenza A, or swine flu symptoms.
The portable infrared thermal imagers enable airport, transit, public health officials and others to quickly scan and measure the skin temperature of large numbers of people. People who register higher temperatures than normal can then be isolated for further evaluation to help prevent the spread of disease.
Mr. Rajesh Tawani, Business Unit Head (TI) at TTL Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Fluke Representative), a Level 1 certified Thermographer, has worked with airport and Health Ministry officials to provide training and consulting services to ensure high quality screening.
“IR noncontact thermal imagers use IR emissions to measure surface temperature, including the temperature of skin, which is displayed in color on the thermal imager's screen. IR Fusion, a user-preferred technology incorporated in Fluke thermal imagers, helps the operator identify individuals with elevated skin temperature and pull them aside for further screening to determine whether they actually have a fever and communicable illness”, says Mr. Suneel Kapoor, National Manager (IG), Fluke India.
Fluke imagers can detect temperature differences as small as 0.05 degrees C and also feature the large LCD screens and video output which make them ideal in the use of scanning large groups of people. As screening too
ls, Fluke infrared thermal imagers have many benefits. Non-contact screening reduces the chance of spreading infection or disease. IR Fusion technology provides screeners with a visible light image (digital picture) of the crowd making screening quicker and more efficient. Infrared temperature measurement is completely safe and non-invasive, so there is no risk to public safety or privacy. People can be screened while moving, so travel is not delayed.

In addition to such public health applications, Fluke Thermal imagers are invaluable tools to detect moisture damage and missing insulation, identify energy losses, inspect roofing, inspect electrical and mechanical equipment and for many other everyday troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
