PositiveID Corporation announced that its Thermomedics subsidiary will exhibit the Caregiver® non-contact thermometer at EMS Today, the Journal of Emergency Medical Services (JEMS) Conference and Exposition, from February 21-23, at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, NC. Caregiver, which is FDA cleared for clinical use, is a professional grade, infrared thermometer for measurement of forehead temperature in adults, children, and infants, without contact. It delivers an oral-equivalent temperature directly from the forehead in one to two seconds. Since there is no skin contact and Caregiver does not require probe cover supplies, it reduces the risk of cross-contamination, which is an increasing concern, and saves healthcare facilities the cost of covers (as much as $0.10 per temperature), storage space, and waste disposal costs. It is estimated that Caregiver can offer savings of $250 or more per year per device in probe cover supplies The Company recently announced the launch of a Bluetooth®-enabled Caregiver thermometer. The new, advanced version of Caregiver is the first FDA cleared non-contact, infrared thermometer intended for professional use that utilizes Bluetooth technology to connect wirelessly to patient monitoring stations and electronic health records systems to transmit temperature readings automatically into a patient’s record to increase efficiency and accuracy. alone.
