MSF requirements
This is a clinical grade thermometer that will replace EEMDTISE3-- Thermoflash LX26 which is not. The Thermoflash requires a wait of 1min between each measurement while there is no waiting with the Masimo TIR-1: request in the current context of the coronavirus.
This thermometer is intended for scanning individuals or monitoring an individual for potential elevated temperatures. It is not a substitute for a clinical thermometer. Always use a clinical thermometer when high accuracy body temperature measurements are required.
