MEDICAS – Thermal Body Temperature Screening
Workswell MEDICAS is a thermal imaging camera for human febrile temperature screening with resolution 640×512 px, temperature sensitivity 0,03 °C (0.054 °F) and uncertainty ±0.2 °C (±0.36 °F).
Workswell MEDICAS solution is based on a real-time continuous calibration using the Workswell BB90 black body, which is a variant of the Workswell BB200 black body as a radiation source to achieve best accuracy and thermal stability. Camera is exportable worldwide without the licence. For clear visualization, Workswell MEDICAS works with three levels: normal temperature, elevated temperature and fever temperature.
Features & Benefits:
- Variable Distance 80cm ~ 12M
- Dual Camera – ~Thermal Full HD
- High Resolution – 640×512 Pixels, 327,680 points
- Automatic Detection – Real-Time without delay
- Operability – Unmanned 24/7
- Precision +/-2 Degrees C
The camera is compliant with ISO/TR 13154:2017, meets the requirements of IEC, and follows the WHO guidelines for elevated body temperature screening.
GDPR Compliant: Human temperature is analysed in real-time without the need for data storing. Administrators can set up video or image recording if required.
ISO Compliant Measurement:
Only a different installation setup of the MEDICAS camera and Blackbody BB200 allows it to meet all ISO and IEC requirements and standards. High resolution 640 px enables measurement in the eyes to achieve high accuracy.
Pre-Scan Phase Mode:
Pre-scan phase mode allows measurements in the range of 3 - 11 metres (2.6 ft - 36 ft), but for accurate temperature measurement, it is required to follow the correct procedure and measure according to ISO/TR 13154:2017.
LED and Sound Warning Integrated:
The Workswell MEDICAS is equipped with both visual and acoustic alarms (beeper). If the set temperature limit is exceeded, the event is alarmed optically by an LED on the front of the thermal camera and acoustically by a built-in loudspeaker. The alarm level is adjustable by the admin, and the LED and sound alarms can be activated separately.
Adjustable Levels – Normal Temperature, Elevated Temperature, Fever:
Workswell MEDICAS operates with three levels: 1) Grey-white palette for normal body and ambient temperatures, 2) Yellow for elevated temperature, and 3) Red for fever signalling. The levels are adjustable, allowing easy identification of elevated temperature or fever situations.
Contactless Temperature Measuring:
The thermal camera measures human skin temperature and is effective in detecting body temperature increases due to virus infections. The average healthy skin surface temperature ranges between 35.8°C and 37°C (96.44°F to 98.6°F). If surface temperature exceeds 37°C (98.6°F), it could indicate overheating or an immune response to infection. Surface temperatures may rise by up to 4°C (7.2°F) during infection, reaching 41°C (105.8°F).
Accuracy: ± 0.2 °C (± 0.36 °F) (according to the reference blackbody).
Package Contents:
- Camera head with lens, focus adapter, lens protection cap
- Black body calibration source with calibration certificate
- Black body ball adapter, micro SD card, 5 m Micro HDMI cable
- 2 x Power supply adapter, 1x Software license for desktop data analysing
- Wireless keyboard, USB micro OTG, quick start guide, hard transport case
How Fever Detection Works:
The MEDICAS system detects people with higher temperatures, possibly due to infections such as SARS, MERS, Ebola, or bird flu. Though it cannot detect asymptomatic individuals, it aids in reducing infection pressure in the population by identifying people with fever symptoms.
MEDICAS: Stand-Alone Device or Integrable via RTSP:
The MEDICAS system can run a TCP/IP server for control, RTSP server for streaming thermal and visible video, and an FTP server for data management. It can be integrated into any CCTV or company network for 24/7 body screening inspection.
Power Supply: 110 VAC / 230 VAC.
Why Infrared Camera Workswell MEDICAS?
Standard infrared LWIR measurements have a ±2 °C (±3.6 °F) accuracy, which is not acceptable for this application. The Workswell MEDICAS, calibrated in real-time using a blackbody, provides outstanding accuracy of ±0.2 °C (±0.36 °F). This precision allows the system to detect fever with both visual and audio alarms when temperatures exceed 37°C (98.6°F) or the critical level of 38°C (100.4°F).
