Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital’s whitepaper examines how the TRITEMP™ forehead non-contact infrared (NCIR), compares to traditional contact thermometers in pediatric outpatient settings. This study compared the accuracy, usability, and overall effectiveness of the TRITEMP™ against the currently used temporal scanner thermometer.
Key Findings:
The results of our study were highly encouraging, demonstrating the TRITEMP™’s ability to effectively measure body temperature in paediatric patients. Here are some key highlights:
- Excellent Agreement with Existing Method: The TRITEMP™ demonstrated good agreement with the temporal scanner thermometer with a mean difference of only 0.04°C in temperature readings.
- Enhanced Patient Experience: The non-contact nature of the TRITEMP™ was particularly appreciated by both patients and healthcare professionals. This approach significantly reduces anxiety and discomfort compared to contact methods, creating a more positive experience for children during their clinic visits.
- Improved Efficiency and Workflow: Faster reading times offered by the TRITEMP™ contributed to improved workflow efficiency in the outpatient setting.
