Pac-Dent Non-Contact Thermometer

Such devices even $400 ones typically have variances of +/- 1.5 degrees F or worse. Meaning if you have a fever of 100 degrees it could read 98.5 degrees F. We researched them and although our nurses wanted something fast, after extensive research opted to ban them from use in our health centers. We used oral (best) and ear (not quite as precise) instead. It kept us much safer than peer centers. You can find corroboration online if you need.

Airports used them and in one airport 200 staff members were stricken in one terminal alone. Use at your own risk and know the tech has limits.
