СЕМ® ThermoDiagnostics personal thermograph is designed for measuring infra-red (IR) temperature of any surfaces. It is made in two modifications: without the software (with LCD screen) and equipped with software (with this version a user can get a color thermogram of an examined surface). Both modifications distantly receive IR emissions from remotely located objects, including skin surfaces. The device itself does not emit any irradiation during temperature measurements. Consequently, both modifications of the device can be used for measuring temperature without any restriction. The version of thermograph with software is linked with a computer through a radio channel. The channel frequency and irradiation power (not exceeding 10 mW/cm2) are allowed for use without any restrictions.

Basic principles for evaluation of treatment efficiency:
It should be remembered that the more acute the pathologic process, the quicker temperature’s changes appear. For example, for acute inflammation (arthritis, abscess, otitis, etc), if treatment is correct, the local temperature drops on the third day. If the elevated temperature persists, it means that the treatment is not sufficiently effective and needs improvement. For slowly developing chronic processes, the changes of local temperatures are also slow, spanning for weeks. For an example, for vessel diseases (diabetes microangiopathy and similar), even with correct treatment, the temperature changes begin no earlier than from the second week. It should also be noted that temperature alterations may appear before other clinical symptoms of sicknesses and may also persist after their vanishing. Efficiency of separate curative procedures aimed for microcirculation increase (paraffin therapy, ointment administration, etc) also can be evaluated. For this purpose, the temperature should be measured in affected areas before and after the procedure. The increase of temperature signifies improvement of microcirculation. However, only a doctor can evaluate clinical and forecasting significance of temperature changes and adjust the treatment course accordingly.

V code: Other mediсations You can evaluate the effectiveness of medical treatment with CEM® ThermoDiagnostics if treatment results in the body’s local temperature changes (please, refer to Chapter 2.5 of our Manual). In the given classification, these groups of medicines are underlined. The examples of thermo monitoring of some frequent diseases are demonstrated in Chapter 10 of our book. However, only a doctor can evaluate clinical and forecasting significance of temperature changes and adjust the treatment course accordingly. Thermal control and monitoring of organism’s state during the use of biologically active agents. BAA or biologically active additives are natural biologically active substances to be taken with food for enriching its nutritive value.
