Within the current emergency situation caused by COVID-19, we are witnessing an exponential growth in body temperature measurement requirements at the gates of public and private structures, with the aim of identifying any alteration states, and therefore being able to perform a summary skimming between subjects at risk and not. Consequently, IR thermometers and thermal imaging cameras of various types and qualities, are rapidly spreading on the market. How many times have we have dealt with an electronic thermometer and doubted the reliability of its detection? The accuracy of a thermometer can depend on the temperature of the operator's hand, on any incorrect pointing, but above all on: the quality of the thermometer itself the temperature of the environment in which the measurement is carried out the quality and frequency of its calibration Is the Infrared Thermometer reliable? The digital thermometer remains a fundamental device for the speed with which it detects the temperature, compared to a standard thermometer of a different type. Speed is, in general, but especially in this historical moment, a necessary requirement, given the number of measurements to be detected in a very short time. In view of today's situation, however, an unreliable measurement is a risk that no operator can run, for reasons that are both ethical and of direct responsibility.
