Tokyo, May 18, 2009 - (JCN Newswire) - NEC Avio Infrared Technologies Co., Ltd. delivered 25 sets of Infrared Thermography Systems (TVS-500EX) to the United Mexican States on 7 May 2009, through the Japan International Cooperation System, as part of an emergency assistance grant from the Japanese government in response to the outbreak of a new strain of influenza.
Infrared thermography devices are used to analyze the intensity of infrared rays naturally emitted by objects and then to visualize temperature distribution. These devices are currently playing an active role in a wide range of fields in the academic and scientific instrumentation market, including non-contact measurement of electronic equipment and components, thermal loss inspection of plant facilities and nondestructive testing of structures.
Many of the infrared thermography devices are also being installed at quarantine stations in airports and seaports where they are being used for body surface temperature screenings of travelers as part of countermeasures against new strains of influenza.
The infrared thermography system (TVS-500EX) that NEC Avio delivered to Mexico allows users to detect travelers with fever by displaying colored isothermal areas and producing a warning message if their body surface temperature exceeds a preset value (e.g. 38 degrees C).
NEC Avio Infrared Technologies Co., Ltd. anticipates that the infrared thermography systems will enable the Mexican government to further strengthen disease prevention measures. NEC Avio also endeavors to continue providing international support for preventing the spread of new strains of influenza, and contributing to the realization of societies that are safe, secure and friendly to people and the earth.
This infrared thermography system is for inspecting human body surface temperatures as part of countermeasures against new strains of influenza. The system measures body surface temperature on a non-contact basis and displays warnings when subjects who are possibly carrying a fever (e.g. 38 degree C or higher) are detected.
