FLIR Systems Launches FLIR Screen-EST Software to Improve Skin Temperature Screening for COVID-19
FLIR Screen-EST is Available for Use with FLIR Thermal
Imaging Cameras Used for Skin Temperature Screening,
Offering a Faster Solution for High Traffic Areas
ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE/AETOSWire)– FLIR
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) today announced the FLIR
Screen-ESTTM software for FLIR T-Series, Exx-Series, and
A-Series thermal imaging cameras. The software provides
automatic measurement tools that perform elevated skin
temperature screenings of individuals in two seconds or
less at entries, checkpoints, and other high-traffic areas
while maintaining recommended social distancing guidelines.
“Governments and businesses across the globe are hard at
work developing new processes to ensure public health and
safety from COVID-19, including the use of radiometric
thermal imaging cameras as part of a comprehensive
frontline screening program,” said Jim Cannon, President
and CEO at FLIR. “Now with FLIR Screen-EST software,
those organizations can increase the speed and accuracy of
frontline screening when using FLIR’s thermal cameras.”
The FLIR Screen-EST Method
FLIR Screen-EST software is designed to automatically take
a skin temperature measurement near the tear duct of each
person, the surface area most closely correlated to core
body temperature. When used with T-Series, Exx-Series, or
A-Series cameras, the software enables screening of
individuals to occur 50 percent faster than FLIR Systems’
existing on-camera screening mode, accelerating
throughput. If the software detects a skin temperature that
exceeds a threshold set above the baseline average,
Screen-EST will notify the operator and display or sound an
audible alarm on the subject’s viewing monitor. The
individual then should be directed to a secondary medical screening*.
Honed through nearly two decades of experience designing
and manufacturing thermal measurement solutions for skin
temperature screening, Screen-EST automatically takes
skin temperature samples at the screening location to
determine an average skin temperature baseline. It then
adds additional samples throughout the day. This relative
temperature screening method helps accounts for regular
body temperature fluctuations caused by natural biological
and external environmental factors, thus reducing the
amount of inaccurate readings that can impact absolute
temperature alarm systems.
FLIR Screen-EST software is for Windows-based laptops
and desktops. It offers a plug-and-play connection for FLIR
thermal imaging cameras and can be installed or removed
within minutes. This provides additional flexibility for
operators to easily move locations or to quickly detach the
camera for other purposes, including facilities maintenance
or machine inspection.
FLIR Screen-EST software for T-Series cameras is available
for purchase globally today for $595 USD, 595€ EUR, and
499£ GBP in English only on FLIR.com and through FLIR
authorized distributors. Screen-EST software for Exx-Series
and A-Series will be available in later this month. To learn

* FLIR cameras are for frontline skin temperature screening
only. They do not detect fevers, viruses or any specific
medical ailment. Anyone who exhibits an elevated skin
temperature must receive secondary screenings conducting
by medical personnel with medical-grade equipment to
determine a diagnosis.
