It has a blunt, round-ended tip on the outside and a scalpel-sharp point on the inside. It occupies a prominent position among dermatological, diagnostic, and therapeutic devices.

It is one of the most adaptable instruments available. As a result, it’s becoming more widely employed in other fields, such as plastic surgery and gynaecology. It’s razor-sharp, allowing for precise and gentle tissue removal. It’s also effective for treating superficial malignant tumours. When compared to traditional items, the superior cutting ability makes dealing with it much easier.

While it might seem like a nuisance, earwax serves an important function in protecting your ears. It’s actually a waxy oil called cerumen that’s produced inside the ear canal. It helps keep dust, microorganisms, foreign particles, and even water from entering and irritating your ears. The cerumen eventually makes its way out of the ears so it can be washed away.

In some cases, your ears may produce too much wax. That excess wax can harden and cause a blockage that can affect your hearing. Blockages are sometimes caused by using cotton swabs to clean the ear canal because the swabs actually wind up pushing the wax in deeper. Individuals who use hearing aids or earbuds could have an issue with wax buildup and blockages, too.

Earwax buildup symptoms

If you’re experiencing earwax buildup or blockages, you might notice some key symptoms, including the following:

• Full feeling in the ear
• Earache
• Sudden hearing loss
• Partial hearing loss
• Ringing in the ear
   

Excess earwax can also lead to an ear infection, so it’s important to see your doctor if you develop any of the following:

• Intense ear pain
• Constant ear pain
• Fluid coming from the ear
• Odor in the ear
• Persistent hearing loss
• Fever
• Cough
• Dizziness

Curettes are a helpful cerumen management tool for audiology and medical clinics. These tools come in many different styles and materials. There are so many options that they can be misunderstood. Curettes are shaped like a pen and have a handle and a tip. The tip is often a loop, scoop, or pick. Curettes are made of stainless steel, plastic, or carbon fibre. No curette material is superior to any other and material selection really depends on personal preference and access to hygienic reprocessing equipment. Curettes have many advantages, they are:

• highly effective
• quick to use
• low cost
• easy to clean or dispose of
• portable
• less intimidating than other tools

The COVID-19 Pandemic has greatly impacted how many small businesses operate day-to-day to keep their employees and customers safe and healthy. This includes taking all measures possible to stop the spread of the virus. 

As companies continue to bring workers back to the office and reopen their doors to customers, the use of temperature scanners to detect fever levels is becoming more and more popular amongst businesses of all sizes. How do you know which body temperature scanner to pick for your small business? We put together this guide to help you decide which one will be the most appropriate for you and your company’s needs. 

Why Does Your Small Business Need a Temperature Scanner?

The Center For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC)  advises that the presence of a fever is one screening criterion for COVID-19. A person is considered to have a fever if their temperature reads 100.4 or higher. Many workplaces have adopted screening for fevers as a primary guideline for detecting and helping prevent the spread of COVID-19, along with asking employees about other symptoms they may have been experiencing (cough, shortness of breath, etc.). 

A temperature scanner allows workplaces to identify those who have a fever using a hands-free device before entering the business, giving everyone assurance and peace of mind walking through your doors.

How Do You Pick the Best Temperature Scanner for Your Small Business?

Trying to keep your small business running during a pandemic can be very stressful. However, buying the best temperature scanner is one essential measure you can take to help stop the spread of the virus and keep your employees and customers safe. 

Types of Temperature Scanners

The amount of traffic you get through your business on any given day will help narrow down what type of temperature scanner you should get. Thermal scanners have three different modes to measure human body temperature.

• High Traffic Density Scanners: This scanner can analyze up to 4 people at one time, so it’s ideal for businesses with high traffic (schools, sporting events, amusement parks, etc.). If a fever is detected, the scanner will make a noise. 
• Medium Traffic Density Scanners: These are used in places with traffic that’s not heavy but not low, like retail stores and restaurants. They do require manual operation, though they may also have automatic fever detection.
• Low Traffic Density Scanners: The perfect option for most small businesses, low traffic density scanners are ideal for those with a small amount of traffic. They can be stationary or portable and are a cost-effective, efficient option. 

We recommend a low traffic density scanner, like the Infrared Facial Temperature Scanner to small businesses because of the smaller amount of traffic they tend to get. 

In addition to the amount of traffic your business usually gets, you will want to consider the following factors help you choose the best temperature scanner: 

Other Factors to Consider When Choosing a Temperature Scanner for Your Business 

Ease of Use 

As a small business owner, you have enough to worry about; a temperature scanner shouldn’t be one of them. Using a scanner as a screening device can be stressful to set up if you haven’t used one before. 

A scanning device should be easy to set up, use, and monitor. The H3 Plus comes with clear, simple directions that don’t require much time or effort to assemble. In just a few quick steps, your device will be ready to mount and start using. The best part is you can install this scanner on a stand, the wall or use the mini version for your desktop.

Be sure to follow all the manufacturer’s instructions for setup to ensure the device is installed correctly and accurately. 

Accuracy of Temperature Scanner 

A body temperature scanner in your business is essential, especially now. When choosing a scanner for your small business, you need to make sure it’s reliable in consistently providing accurate temperatures all of the time. 

Look out for the margin of error on the device. You want a temperature scanner that measures human body temperature in real-time with a low margin of error. The temperature scanner should also trigger an alarm when a fever is detected.

With an error margin of ±0.2 °F, the K3 Monitor gives accurate temperatures efficiently and effectively. In addition, this lightweight scanner is easy to move, shuts off after sitting idle to save on power, and sounds an alarm when a high temperature is detected. 

Speed of Temperature Scanning Results 

Accuracy is important when choosing a scanning device for your business. But so is the amount of time it takes for that scanner to give results. You want to use a device that will produce an accurate reading in only a few seconds to help ensure you can easily and efficiently screen employees and customers as they walk in through your door.

When choosing a body temperature scanner, be sure you pick one that will give you dependable results in the shortest amount of time. 

Final Thoughts

As a small business, you need an efficient and cost-effective solution for scanning the temperatures of anyone who walks in your door to help screen for and stop the spread of COVID-19. For many small businesses, a wall-mounted device or stand-alone kiosk are both ideal solutions. Both help offer a hands-free, automated process that gets employees and customers in the door safely and offers much-needed peace of mind during a very uncertain time.
