How do I use FeverDots?
STEP 1
Activate color by heating them to FULL PINK. This can be done by warming them with a hairdryer or by holding them (still on release paper) to the outside of a cup of hot liquid. Once warmed to full pink, allow them to cool back to black. This activation lasts up to a week, however, FeverDots can be activated daily if desired.
STEP 2
Once activated, peel off a FeverDot from the sticker strip and apply directly and firmly to clean dry forehead. Within a moment the FeverDot will give an indication of the temperature. A FeverDot that is black or purple indicates that the forehead temperature is below 99°F. If the FeverDot is bright pink, it indicates that the forehead is 99°F or greater and the core temperature is 100°F or greater,
STEP 3
Wear the FeverDot continuously to monitor temperature. If the skin has been heated by an external heat source, such as the sun or fireplace, the FeverDot may turn pink. To monitor core temperature, move away from the heat source and hold a cool object to the FeverDot. In this way the color of the FeverDot can be returned to black and skin temperature monitoring can begin again. If the FeverDot turns to bright pink when not exposed to external heat source, the body temperature may be elevated, and it is time to use a thermometer.
STEP 4
After a day, replace the FeverDot with a new FeverDot and continue to monitor temperature.
NOTE: Keep FeverDots out of sunlight when not in use. Exposure to UV light will hinder color change.
NOTE: FeverDots are not intended to be a medical device. Use a thermometer to confirm temperature.
Capabilities
Core Competencies
FeverDots™ is an innovative fever-detection product that provides quick, clear, and consistent identification of elevated temperatures without the need for frequent thermometer use. Designed with convenience and care in mind, FeverDots™ is ideal for environments where continuous monitoring is crucial, including assisted living facilities, schools, disaster response areas, and homes. Its non-invasive, adhesive dots change color when a fever threshold is detected, streamlining the identification process in a wide range of settings.
Differentiators
- Non-Invasive Temperature Monitoring: FeverDots™ minimizes discomfort and reduces the need for frequent temperature checks, allowing caregivers, teachers, parents, and emergency responders to monitor temperatures passively.
- Visual Temperature Indicator: FeverDots™ changes color to signal fever, offering a clear, immediate indication without specialized training. This feature benefits schools and disaster relief shelters, as well as parents at home who want a quick, effective way to monitor children’s fevers.
- Complementary Use with Thermometers: FeverDots™ acts as an early warning system, encouraging further temperature verification if a fever is detected.
- Ease of Use and Application: Simple to apply and suitable for long-term wear, FeverDots™ provides continuous fever screening without invasive procedures or additional technology, making it ideal for quick deployment in homes, schools, and emergency settings.
- Enhanced Safety Protocols: FeverDots™ allows for rapid identification of potential health concerns, helping to prevent the spread of illness in high-traffic areas and providing peace of mind to parents monitoring their children's health at home.
Key Applications
- Assisted Living Facilities: Enables continuous, non-invasive monitoring for elderly residents, reducing agitation and supporting timely responses.
- Schools: Provides a rapid screening tool for teachers and staff to identify fevers among students, helping to prevent outbreaks and manage health concerns quickly and discreetly.
- Disaster Relief and Emergency Shelters: In disaster-affected areas, FeverDots™ offers a low-cost, easily deployable solution for identifying fevers among large groups, helping responders manage potential health risks in challenging conditions.
- Home Use for Parents: FeverDots™ is easy for parents to use at home to monitor their children’s temperatures without frequent disruptions, helping parents stay informed about potential fevers with minimal inconvenience.
