Publication number: 20130215928Abstract: A method for determining a body temperature of a patient or subject is disclosed, in which a contactless infrared thermometer is manually positioned such as to point at a target area, and by activating the thermometer such that it measures the internal temperature of a patient and reads, via the thermometer, and for a predetermined time interval, the intensity of an infrared radiation in arrival from the target area. The target area is a body surface of a human or animal patient selected from a body location group comprising the ethmoid sinus, the canthus, the open eyelid or the closed eyelid.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 3, 2011Publication date: August 22, 2013Applicant: TECNIMED S.R.L.Inventor: Francesco Bellifemine

Patent number: 8128280Abstract: A non-invasive method of measuring the temperature of a subject through a portable infrared thermometer includes measuring a temperature related to room temperature and detecting an infrared radiation coming from a region of interest of the subject. The region of interest can be a forehead or an auricle area of the subject. The portable infrared thermometer detecting the infrared radiation determines a surface temperature of the region of interest. A corrective parameter is determined based on the temperature related to the room temperature, and the surface temperature measured by the portable infrared thermometer on the surface portion of the forehead or of the auricle area is corrected using the corrective parameter. The real inner temperature of the subject is determined based upon the correcting.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Tecnimed S.R.L.Inventor: Francesco Bellifemine

Patent number: 7651266Abstract: It is disclosed a device (100) for measuring a patient's temperature using an infrared thermometer (1) to detect the intensity of an infrared radiation coming from the body of that patient, whose temperature is wished to be known; the device further comprises a room-temperature sensor to send said temperature to a memory (38). A processing unit (33) receives as an input the room-temperature signal (B) and a temperature signal (A) proportional to the infrared radiation, the room-temperature signal (B) enabling the processing unit (33) to determine a corrective parameter to rectify the temperature (A) detected by the sensor member (7) and to determine the patient's real temperature. The invention allows the problem due to the non-stabilisation in the thermometer environment to be solved.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2006Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Tecnimed S.R.L.Inventor: Francesco Bellifemine
