Fever Patrol Review

Taking care of a child from the time of birth, through childhood, to adolescence requires keen attention to all aspects of life, especially as it has to do with health.

The setting in of disease is always characterized by some mild symptoms which usually progress in severity unless therapeutic intervention in instituted.

One of the most important initial symptoms in a sick child or adult is fever of varying presentations and intensities, hence the detection of fever, even the slightest, is key to the early detection of disease and swift intervention to prevent avoidable complications.

Before now, temperature measurement is a very discomforting procedure, especially in babies, most of whom are usually noncooperative. But modern technologies have aimed to reduce the discomfort to the barest minimum which is the subject matter in this article.

A device known as Fever Patrol has come to overcome all the shortcoming of all previous devices.

Was it able to pull it off successfully? I wouldn’t know. Read on to find out

What is Fever Patrol?

Fever Patrol is a digital thermometer which is designed to measure one’s temperature without coming in direct contact with the person. One would ask how this is possible, but the mechanism is easily understandable.

It uses infrared phenomenon, which, being a type of radiation, does not require physical contact in order to take the reading. This gives it an advantage over its predecessors, because the management of a patient should be in such a way that it does not compound the inconvenience the patient already faces as a result of the disease.

Furthermore, most times temperature needs to be measured when the patient is asleep, and this device enables one take the measurement without having to wake the patient up. This convenience of use has also made it possible for this thermometer to be used routinely and for point of care testing.

Also because of the contact-free feature, one doesn’t go through the stress of sanitizing the thermometer if it is to be used to measure the temperatures of different patients.

Its portability and relatively cheap cost have made it available for use at all points of care, including homes, daycare centers, schools, private clinics etc.

Plus it has the advantage of producing fast results and can store sixty-four (64) results, thus enabling documentation of a child’s temperature over time and for comparative analysis of the temperatures of different patients.

It is simply held some inches in front of the child’s forehead, and in a sluice of seconds, the value appears on the screen with an accuracy of 0.2’C.

What are the features

• Portability: can be moved with tremendous ease from place to place.
• It can be operated with one hand.
• Colour-coded screen (red, yellow, green)
• Display of a wide array of values, ranging from high to low, across several strata of intermediate values.
• A mode button.
• A sturdy handle to enable firm grip.

The features in detail….

The size and light weight of this thermometer gives it the advantage of easy carriage, which is not the case with the primitive thermometers which are usually very cumbersome. This also enables it to be used with one hand, while the other could be put into other use simultaneously.

The colour-coded display feature makes the result easy to interpret even in people who cannot understand the values. Green colour indicates normal temperature, yellow is for mild fever while red indicates that the fever is severe and should be controlled as it may result in convulsion especially in babies.

It also displays all values no matter how high or low it is, this broad spectrum of display makes it possible for all temperature values to be documented which is important in the assessment of response to treatment, especially in cases of relapsing or intermittent fever.

The mode button is also situated in place so it can be operated with the forefinger without compromising the grip. The mode button is for switching between body and object modes.

Other worthy notes

ACCURATE READINGS – Place the thermometer anywhere near your child’s body and you’ll still get the same precise interpretations like that of a traditional one, but faster this time.

The digitally-designed reader measures can measure both internally (to detect fevers) or externally (to test objects).

DIFFERENT MODE SETTINGS – Set the device to display your preferred scale of measurement between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Make the adjustments by pressing the buttons found on the right side of the head piece.

NO TOUCH FEATURE – Daddies, mommies, nurses, and doctors need not to worry anymore about taking your little one’s temperature. This thermometer uses infrared waves to detect the body’s heat and get results in just a second.

A sleeping infant can move along with her dreams without being disturbed. It’s also a perfect health tool for hygiene purposes.

Why do I need this thermometer?

Now, this is an essential instrument which should not in any case be absent in any hospital, nursing home, day care center, clinic, household etc.

It is needed because it has a way of making the measurement of temperature available even when this is impossible for other conventional devices. For example, if a person has just eaten a cold food or drunk cold water, temperature check per oral becomes useless, because the actual result will be markedly lowered, or raised in the case of hot food. This is not the case with FeverPatrol, as it can be used even in such situations.

Also, unlike the contact thermometers, it cannot serve as a vehicle transmitting infections from one patient to another, this is simply because of the contact-free feature, therefore there’s no need for intermittent sterilization, which may in turn be irritating to the next patient.

Thus it can be used to measure the temperatures of hundreds of patients without any fear of infection transmission. It can also be used for outpatient management.
