Clinical Accuracy of the welloStationX

welloStationX Determination of Clinical Accuracy

This study evaluates the clinical accuracy of the welloStationX, an automated non-touch self-service electronic thermometer using an infrared sensor of the surface of the forehead to screen for fever.

Traditionally, body temperature is measured using a contact thermometer placed on the forehead, in the mouth, ear, armpit or rectum. Non-contact thermometers allow a person's temperature to be taken with no contact with the person, reducing the discomfort of having to sit still for several minutes. Additionally, there is no need for disinfection between patients to occur, allowing for easier and faster use when screening large numbers of people.

This study is to evaluate the clinical accuracy of the welloStationX, a non-contact thermometer by comparing its measurements with that of the gold standard Welch Allyn SureTemp oral thermometer.
