Thermoteknix answers Mauritius swine flu call

Cambridge technology is being used at Mauritius Airport in a bid to detect swine flu. Other global customers are in the pipeline.

The airport is installing Thermoteknix Systems Ltd’s MIRICLE FevIR thermal imaging system to protect its tourist industry, which is crucial to Mauritius economy.

Thermoteknix reacted to the ongoing H1N1 swine flu outbreak with the rapid launch of the skin temperature measurement system for mass screening of high pedestrian areas such as airports, train stations, factories and other public places.

The miniature, discreet and ultra portable scan is based on high resolution thermal imaging and can be easily installed, operated and relocated with the very minimum of setup time and operator training.

On-screen visible and audible alerts provide instant notification of high temperature alarms.

On-screen alerts identify one or more individuals in a large crowd, aiding rapid detection and maintaining passenger flow.

Thermoteknix MD Dr Richard Salisbury said: “Thermoteknix has been supplying skin temperature monitoring systems to airports and public places since the SARS epidemic in 2004 so we were ideally placed to respond immediately to the public need for low cost skin temperature monitoring systems.

“Our new equipment is an even faster to install accurate, high resolution system which needs an absolute minimum of operator training and is reliable and simple to use. We have had numerous enquiries from all quarters of the globe.”
