Palmer Wahl announces a complete line

Asheville, NC –June 8, 2009 – Amid growing fears of a possible flu pandemic, Wahl Instruments announces a complete line of Fever Alert products designed specifically for the rapid screening of individuals in public places for elevated body temperatures, potentially minimizing the spread of Swine and Bird flu. Wahl offers you the flexibility to choose the product that bests suits your application; from a hand held infrared thermometer or a thermal imaging camera, to a high resolution thermal imaging system. Wahl Fever Alert products will quickly and automatically detect the hottest temperature on a subject, making further evaluation easy. They detect critical temperature differences in real time, and give off both Audible and Visible alarms for increased body temperature, or fever above the "normal" (98.6 °F or 37°C) which is often a good clinical indication of possible infection.

Companies, health departments, government agencies, and all public facilities could benefit from using Wahl Fever Alert products to screen individuals, potentially minimizing the spread of Swine and Bird flu. Accurate, reliable, cost effective and easy to use; there is no delay processing people with Wahl’s Fever Alert products. Non-contact and non-invasive, they are safe for both the subject and the operator. Also available is a blackbody temperature reference source which allows for calibration verification of the unit prior to, and during use.
