Temperature checks need to be quick and hands free when you are moving between clients. A forehead reading takes a second, does not wake a sleeping person and does not unsettle someone who resists being touched.
This Alicn unit is a clinical infrared thermometer, held a short distance from the forehead with the result shown straight away on a backlit screen. There is nothing to insert, no probe cover to fit and no contact passed from one person to the next, which counts in a shared house, a day program or a full waiting room.
It suits nursing staff, support workers and anyone screening a group of people inside a short window, since readings can be taken one after another through a round.
