Thermal Assessment of Skin Diseases and Allergy

Temperature monitoring provides an objective assessment of skin dis- eases2 as well as allergy and vasomotor tests3 since most of the skin diseases, or the percutaneous injection of pharmacodynamic substances used for testing, generate significant changes in the thermal pattern of the skin.

Skin Temperature in Prognosis of the Critically Ill

Skin temperature has been the subject of several studies monitoring blood flow in the critically ill.

Data from these studies in- dicate increases in the tem- perature of skin, especially the big toe, were accompa- nied by improvement in the clinical status of the patient, and significantly greater survival. Boycks and Weil4 concluded toe temperature provided the best correlation with cardiac index and prog- nosis of survival compared to arm, finger, thigh, or rec- tal temperatures.

Kholoussy et al (1980)5 demon- strated attainment of normal rec- tal-toe temperature gradient con- sistently coincided with hemody- namic stabilization of the patient as indicated by other simulta- neously measured parameters and by the clinical condition. In all the patients that died, rectal- toe temperature gradient gradu- ally and progressively increased as the patient’s condition became terminal.

Monitoring central peripheral temperature gradient was determined can accurately reflect the state of peripheral circulation, though may be lim- ited by peripheral vascular disease, central hypothermia, and the use of vasoactive drugs.

DT 1001-LN, DT 1001-RS, DT 1001, DT 1001-LT specifications

The Exergen DT 1001 series, consisting of the DT 1001-LN, DT 1001, DT 1001-RS, and DT 1001-LT, represents a cutting-edge advancement in non-invasive infrared thermometry technology. These models are designed for accurate and reliable temperature measurement across various settings, making them invaluable tools for healthcare professionals, educators, and individuals monitoring their own health.

A standout feature of the Exergen DT 1001 series is its precision in measuring core body temperature. Utilizing patented infrared technology, these devices detect the thermal radiation emitted by the temporal artery, thus providing an accurate representation of internal body temperature. This non-invasive method is not only safe but also quick, as it can yield results within seconds, making it ideal for both clinical environments and home use.

The DT 1001 series emphasizes ease of use. Equipped with a simple one-button operation, even individuals without technical training can operate the device effectively. The easy-to-read digital display provides clear temperature readings, which can often be coupled with visual and auditory alerts for fever detection, enhancing user experience.

Further enhancing user convenience is the memory function of the DT 1001 series. These models can store multiple readings, allowing users to track temperature trends over time. This feature is particularly useful in monitoring patients with fevers or chronic health issues where regular temperature checks are necessary.

The DT 1001-LN and DT 1001-LT are distinguished by their lightweight and portable design, making them suitable for on-the-go temperature checks. Conversely, the DT 1001-RS is optimized for clinical settings, featuring enhanced durability and robust performance under frequent usage.

Each model has been rigorously validated to meet clinical standards, ensuring that healthcare practitioners can rely on their accuracy. With their advanced technology, user-friendly design, and versatility, the Exergen DT 1001 series stands out as a leading choice in the realm of non-contact thermometers, promoting effective health monitoring for a wide range of users. Their continued popularity highlights a significant trend in modern healthcare towards efficient, precise, and non-invasive diagnostic tools.
