Equipment Provided

(i) On-Site System Set Up

The pictorial view of the IFSS is shown on the right, it is mobile and can be set up within an hour at the site of operation.

(ii) On-Site System Calibration

The camera and the computer of the IFSS have to be calibrated before it can be used to scan and detect whether a person is having any fever. This is done with the aid of a calibrator unit, placed at a distance from the camera as illustrated in the above drawing. The time required to calibrate the IFSS is less than 15 minutes.

(iii) System Operation

The IFSS is operational upon completion of the system calibration. Every person will be scanned when they pass through the field view of the camera, “red spot” will appear on the image of the display screen to indicate a person is having fever. In normal practice, it requires only one operator to view the real-time image at the display screen and to identify the person who is detected with fever; another operator will help to filter and direct the person (who is detected to have fever) for further medical tests.
