Body temperature screening crucial in managing A(H1N1) virus

MANILA, Philippines – As complete and quick elimination of the A(H1N1) virus is no longer tenable, managing the rate of the spread is now imperative, starting with early detection.

Early detection can be in terms of body temperature screening, ideally conducted at the entrance of every establishment. People showing signs of fever should observe social distancing and self-quarantine for 10 days as prescribed by the Department of Health.

To facilitate an accurate, reliable and quick temperature taking, various medical institutions have used Thermofocus, an infrared, no mercury, pen shaped forehead Thermometer with Optical Distance Guide.

Made in Italy, Thermofocus can yield reading within 3 seconds, can adjust to ambient temperature, does not require skin contact and uses 4 pieces of AAA batteries (for 10,000 temperature readings).  

Thermofocus is distributed by Wellness PRO Inc. at U-902, Richmonde Plaza Building, San Miguel Avenue cor. Lourdes Street, Pasig City.
