SEEK SCAN MEASURES SKIN TEMPERATURE AS A PROXY FOR BODY TEMPERATURE
Here are a few things to know about skin temperature measurement:
1. Skin temperature is typically a few degrees less than body temperature. Similar to an infrared
temporal thermometer, Seek Scan measures skin temperature and then adds an offset to provide
an estimated body temperature.
2. Seek Scan is programed to measure the most reliable parts of the face to produce the best
results with high accuracy.
3. A person’s skin temperature may vary based on a variety of circumstances such as ambient
temperature, sweat and eye wear. For this reason, Seek Scan is intended for indoor use only and
in environmentally controlled rooms.
SKIN TEMPERATURE VS BODY TEMPERATURE
There are two modes that Seek Scan uses to estimates body temperature: Adaptive and Manual.
ADAPTIVE MODE
The Adaptive Mode will automatically adjust the estimated body temperature offset based on the
scans of your population. This mode uses statistical analysis to determine the appropriate average
offset for your population in real time. This should allow the system to adjust automatically with your
environment and throughout the day.
MANUAL MODE
By default, the system uses a Manual Mode offset of 2.16 °F (1.2 °C) offset. This is typically the ideal
offset in most temperature-controlled environments and setups. When using Manual Mode, we
strongly encourage you to fine tune the offset for your specific environment.
