A Safer, Non-Contact Temperature Solution for Infants & Newborns
Caring for a newborn means watching closely for changes in their health and body temperature is one of the most important indicators. Traditional thermometers often require physical contact, which can disturb babies or create cross-contamination risks in clinical environments.
TRITEMP™, TriMedika’s clinical-grade non-contact thermometer, provides fast, hygienic, touch-free temperature measurement that supports newborn safety and comfort in maternity wards, paediatric units, and neonatal intensive care.
Accurate Temperature Monitoring Matters for Newborns
Newborns cannot regulate their temperature well, making them especially vulnerable to hypothermia or fever. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasises that maintaining newborn thermal stability is essential for early-life care and complication prevention:

The NHS also notes that fever in infants under three months can indicate infection and requires urgent clinical assessment:

Because newborns are monitored frequently, clinicians benefit from tools that are accurate, consistent, and minimise disturbance.
CE-marked Thermometer Supports Newborn & Infant Care
1. Non-Contact Readings With No Skin Touch
TRITEMP™ measures temperature without contacting the skin, helping to maintain infant comfort and reduce cross-infection risk. This aligns with infection-prevention recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

2. Instant Results for Busy Clinical Settings
With a reading delivered in under one second, TRITEMP™ supports safe and efficient thermometry during newborn checks, triage, and routine observations.
3. Designed for Hospital Use
TRITEMP™ is engineered for clinical environments, supporting:
- Non-invasive, low-disturbance care
- Minimal handling of newborns
- Fast workflows for neonatal and maternity teams
- Consistent performance across high-volume measurement routines
Its contact-free operation also supports sustainability goals by eliminating the need for disposable probe covers, an approach aligned with the NHS Greener Healthcare Strategy:

Is Non-Contact Thermometry Safe for Infants?
Yes, when using a clinical-grade, medically validated device such as TRITEMP™.
NICE guidance acknowledges several approved methods for assessing temperature in young children and emphasises the importance of using clinically validated equipment:

How to Use TRITEMP™ With Newborns (Clinician Guidance)
Using TRITEMP™ is quick and intuitive:
- Hold the thermometer 3–5 cm from the centre of the infant’s forehead.
- Ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed.
- Aim straight, avoiding angles.
- Press once for an instant, non-contact reading.
The process is silent, fast, and avoids disturbing the baby.
