Abstract
The invention is directed to a method of evaluating the signal of an infrared thermometer for measuring human body temperature, in which the infrared thermometer includes a probe adapted to receive thereon a probe cover or protective film sufficiently transparent to infrared radiation, and in which on a measuring operation performed with the probe cover or protective film in “installed” condition the signal is evaluated, so that a measuring operation is performed also when the probe cover or protective film is not installed, with an appropriate allowance being made for the consequently more intensive infrared radiation by different signal evaluation.
