PAT.A Operation

After confirmation of a victim through the image captured by the camera head, the camera head is brought to a position approx. 50 to 200 cm from the skin of the victim, and the correct body temperature of the victim will be shown on the remote display.

In fact, the body temperature of a human changes slightly according to the ambient temperature.

Especially when the ambient temperature is low, the surface temperature of the skin of a rescue squad is measured in advance.

Based on that temperature, the actually measured body temperature of the victim is corrected to find the more correct body temperature.

From a medical point of view, the body temperature of a human and the condition of life have the following relations:Audio +Video + Thermal PROEYE 951-SX Life Detector

1. 36.6℃ (97.9°F) … Basal body temperature of a healthy person

2. 35.5℃ (95.9°F) … Low body temperature. The metabolic function is inactive.

3. 34.0℃ (93.2°F) … Great Divide. Used to judge the possibility of recovery after rescue.

4. 33.0℃ (91.4°F) … Gate of death. The victim will have hallucinations.

Based on the above, the life and the condition of health of a victim can be confirmed.

The operator can measure the point, using the laser pointer which is built into the camera head to obtain an accurate reading of the body’s temperature.

The Camera design is small and compact (H:L= 35×48 mm), having IP 65 protection.
