HYGIENE FIRST
WHEN SMART MEANS CLEAN
CAT® S31, S52, S61 Smartphones
can be cleaned repeatedly with soaps, sanitisers, chemicals, bleach and alcohol
Luckily, all CAT Phones are rugged and can be cleaned easily and thoroughly, at the same time as you wash your hands. Simply submerge it entirely in hot water, lather the phone itself with a sponge or brush in warm soapy water and then rinse it under the tap.
Before washing your phone, unplug all external power sources, devices, cables and ensure all port covers and the SIM door are firmly closed, this ensures you avoid getting any excess moisture into any openings.
If your phone is in need of a deeper clean, it has been tested to survive. Without any concerns, you can generously apply and wipe all external surfaces with hand sanitisers, anti-bacterial sprays and alcohol wipes, again ensuring all cables are unplugged and all ports are firmly closed.
As a rugged phone, you can use scrubbing brushes, cloths or towels, paper towels, disinfecting wipes or similar items without worrying about excessive wiping causing damage to the screen or any other part of the phone.
We interact with our mobile device thousands of times every day, and often press it to our faces, which means that any bacteria or other germ that is on the hard surfaces of your phone could easily transfer to your skin. As a general rule clean your CAT Phone as often as your hands to avoid transferring germs between the two and lower your risk of getting ill.

For those who must keep on working
CAT® S61
THE WORLD’S FAVOURITE 4G THERMAL PHONE CAN BE USED FOR ESSENTIAL FRONT LINE SAFETY
Infectious and communicable medical conditions are easily spread where people congregate. Thermal imaging technology can help keep people on the front line safe by enabling them to identify persons with an elevated temperature.
The Cat S60 was the first smartphone in the world to include an integrated thermal imaging camera using a Flir Lepton sensor. The Cat S61 also includes an air quality monitoring sensor and a larger screen.
Both smartphones are able to detect an individual with an elevated temperature in a non-invasive manner and at a safe distance (UK Government Health Authorities advise safe distance of 1-2 meters).
EASY TO USE MASS SCREENING DEVICE
All physical things, including people, radiate infrared energy which can be detected by a thermal camera. Different surface temperatures are visualised and represented as different colours on the phones display. The technology requires no natural or artificial light to identify and does not require physical contact with the target to read temperature.
This makes it an ideal technology for initial triage screening of people as they pass by the thermal camera at a distance of one to two meters (from public service personnel to security guards, in entrances and at reception desks or simply as personal protection when people enter our homes). Elevated skin temperature will show up clearly as a contrasting colour on the display.
PRELIMINARY COMMUNITY PROTECTION
We believe this to be a practical, fast and reliable mobile solution to allow preventative screening for people with unusually high temperatures as they enter anything from a small office or shop to a major transport network, stadium or prison. Those identified can then be tested medically and provided with the necessary assistance.
This is a preliminary screening tool, not a medical diagnostic instrument. Thermal imaging sensor should not be used as a substitute for a medically certified thermometer.
The Cat S61 or Cat S60 should only be used as one aspect of a wider temperature screening program. Cat phones can identify individuals in a population that show higher than average skin temperature in relation to a calibrated “normal”. Cat phones do not find individuals experiencing Covid-19/ Coronavirus symptoms, and therefore they cannot be used to diagnose Covid-19/ Coronavirus, or any other physical condition. We are not advertising these devices for use in the medical industry or for medical purposes. There is no way to thermally detect an infected individual who does not exhibit an elevated skin temperature, and only a qualified and licensed medical practitioner can determine if an individual exhibiting an elevated skin temperature is experiencing any abnormal medical condition. Users should comply with any local laws governing the use of surveillance tools.
BENEFITS OF A SMART PHONE SOLUTION
Though standalone thermal cameras are available, the thermal camera integrated into the Cat S61 and also Cat S60 offer a number of key advantages:
Cat phones are military spec ‘rugged’ devices. Designed and built to be extremely tough and robust, making them suitable for use in any environment, indoors or outdoors.
They can be easily cleaned and disinfected and can be fully submerged in hot water with soaps, detergents or even bleach.
They are connected devices. As smartphones, thermal imagery or other data collected can, where necessary, be shared, streamed or screen-mirrored via WiFi or cellular data connections.

EASY TO USE MASS SCREENING DEVICE
1. Open the MyFLIR app
Mount phone into monitoring location / tripod that will allow people to pass by at a maximum of 1.5m away facing the camera as straight on as possible.
Set colour palette to ‘Iron’ if it is not already selected.
2. Tap the calibrate icon
Tap the temperature gradient icon (fourth icon in from top left) so the visible temperature bar appears to the right of the screen.
(top right icon) – the sensor will now automatically calibrate.
3. Tap the top temperature
Enter 34°C or 93°F and tap the tick icon to confirm. Tap the lower temperature at the bottom of the chart to edit and lock it. Enter 32°C or 89°F and tap the tick icon to confirm.
Wait for 2-3 minutes before use as the accuracy will increase as the sensor warms up.
The display will now only show temperatures between these two temperatures. Anything lower will be black, anything higher will be white. Anything showing up with a colour or white will be highlighting an elevated temperature.
