Regulators Warn Against Buying Inaccurate Infrared Thermometers That Fail to Meet Legal Requirements

 

Infrared Thermometer

An infrared thermometer is a non-contact thermometer that uses infrared rays to read a specific object's thermal radiation without any physical contact being made. This is extremely useful when working with sick patients or when measuring the exact temperature of delicate electronic or mechanical equipment. These special types of thermometers can be found in many different places, including hospitals and electronics stores.

Emergence of Covid-19 has skyrocketed the demand for infrared thermometers. In Germany, from 3 January 2020 to 5:54pm CEST, 27 July 2021, there have been 3,758,401 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 91,565 deaths, reported to WHO. As of 17 July 2021, a total of 88,400,469 vaccine doses have been administered. Such scenario has led to launch of new infrared thermometers. In July 2021, iGear, a brand for gadgets and smartphone accessories in India, launched ‘Thermo Check,’ a fully automatic contactless unmanned infrared thermometer that can be mounted on a wall or a tripod at the entrance of housing societies, offices, malls, schools, and many such areas.

There are several benefits to using an infrared thermometer compared to other types of measuring devices. First of all, there is no direct contact which means no potential for spread of infection or overheating. Another great feature of these thermometers is that they can be used to determine the temperature at several different locations without having to place the device near a source of heat such as a bulb.

Recently, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, reported a rise in the number of unreliable infrared thermometers available in the U.K, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. The medicines regulator has warned people against buying inaccurate infrared thermometers that do not meet legal requirements.

Light Linear Alpha Olefins Are Produces through Oligomerization of Ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis

Image
  Light linear alpha olefins are commonly manufactured by two main routes: oligomerization of ethylene and by Fischer-Tropsch synthesis followed by purification. They are manufactured for a variety of reasons. One such reason is to use them as fabric and other textile applications in clothing manufacture. Various companies use ethylene trimerization process that produces only 1-hexene. In the U.S., Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, LLC, uses this process. Another commercial process, offered by a technology licensor IFP, dimerizes ethylene to high purity 1-butene. There are a wide range of applications for light linear alpha olefins . They are predominantly use in production of polyethylene, linear aldehyde, fatty acids, linear alcohols. Alpha olefins are also used in production of synthetic lubricant basestock and to make surfactants in a blend with higher linear alpha olefins. Another common use of light linear alpha olefins includes printing and apparel industries, agriculture

Cervical Cancer Diagnostic Tests have become highly sophisticated with accurate diagnosis for effective treatment

Image
  There are three basic types of cervical cancer namely squamous cell carcinoma (also known as cancer of the cervix), adenocarcinoma, and carcinoma in the fallopian tubes. Adenocarcinomas are the most common type and usually begin as a non-cancerous tissue. Squamous cell carcinomas (also called vaginal cancer of the cervix) develop primarily in the outer lining of the cervix and is normally found in 90 to 95% of cervical cancer cases. One of the key cervical cancer diagnostic tests are HPV diagnostic test and they are at an all-time high. As previously stated, research reports continue to indicate that the future is not likely to see a slowing of the rate of new infections, but instead an acceleration into the future. The Information presented in this article briefly outlines two of the most important players in the cervical cancer diagnostic tests sales, price and growth rate of HPV. A recent development in DNA cervical cancer diagnostic tests makes it possible to determine if a pe

Beta Glucan-based products have been shown to be effective in lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease

Image
  Beta glucan based products have been being used for the most recent decade. These are significant leap forwards in present day clinical history. Beta glucan is gotten from plant sources and has been utilized for quite a long time to assist wellbeing. It is nothing unexpected that this compound has as of late discovered its way into the nourishing enhancements field. It is perhaps the most nutritious enhancements available. Exploration has shown that individuals who burn-through Glucan based products have lower paces of coronary illness. It is accepted that the part of the enhancement helps support the insusceptible framework and expands the body's resilience to low degrees of cholesterol. This permits the body to all the more proficiently eliminate overabundance cholesterol from the circulatory system. Besides, the fixings in these products are high in cancer prevention agents, which help forestall cell harm. Studies have shown that Glucan products can help diminish joint irrit
