To combat COVID-19, sweeping exception programs have been put in place around the import and export of health technology in order to make it easier for countries to share resources and distribute medical supplies to citizens. For PPE equipment, these lighter regulations have allowed businesses and governments to quickly receive much needed safety supplies. For complex products such as contactless thermometers, however, the relaxing of rigorous oversight has resulted in a surge of poorly made, defective products being actively used by unknowing U.S. businesses and consumers. The proliferation of these faulty products poses a serious health and financial risk for businesses. From employees not detecting illness early enough to receive proper medical care to businesses being forcible re-shut due to outbreak, the consequences of using faulty equipment may create more loss of life or permanent financial destruction.
“Lookalike thermometers are dangerous because they’re designed to confuse consumers and aren’t made to the highest standards. With the FDA temporarily looking the other way while these devices are being brought into the nation, consumers must stick with a proven brand they can trust to ensure quality…there’s too much at stake to trust an unchecked device.”
