How It Works
Easy 1-2-3 Setup
Point, read, and transmit. Temperature monitoring could not be simpler.
Take Temperature Reading
Patient points the infrared thermometer at the forehead or ear. A reading displays on the screen in about one second.
Automatic Transmission
The device transmits the temperature reading automatically via cellular or Bluetooth. No manual logging or smartphone apps needed.
Monitor Trends Remotely
Clinical staff track temperature trends over time on the CCN Health dashboard. Fever alerts flag abnormal readings for follow-up.
Live Data
Real-time temperature monitoring.
Each temperature reading transmits automatically to the CCN Health platform. Clinicians track trends across their entire patient panel, with configurable fever and hypothermia alerts that trigger before symptoms escalate.

Normal
97–99.5°F
Healthy body temperature. Slight variation by time of day is normal.
Low-Grade Fever
99.5–100.3°F
Monitor closely. May indicate early infection or inflammatory process.
Fever
100.4–103°F
Clinical review indicated. Rule out UTI, pneumonia, or wound infection.
Hypothermia
<96°F
Sepsis indicator in elderly. Combined with tachycardia suggests clinical emergency.
Post-Surgical Patients
Any temperature above 100.4°F within 48 hours of surgery warrants clinical review. Persistent fever beyond 72 hours suggests possible wound infection or drug reaction.
Immunocompromised Patients
In neutropenic patients, even a single reading of 100.4°F constitutes a medical emergency. Set alert thresholds lower (99.5°F) for patients on chemotherapy.
Clinical Reference
Fever threshold guidelines.
Configure per-patient alert thresholds based on age, condition, and immunocompromised status. The CCN Health platform supports custom thresholds per patient for fever and hypothermia alerts.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about temperature monitoring for RPM programs.
CCN Health supports non-contact infrared thermometers and oral digital thermometers with wireless connectivity. Readings transmit via cellular or Bluetooth to the CCN Health platform for clinical review.
Temperature monitoring is common in post-surgical monitoring, infection surveillance in senior living facilities, immunocompromised patient management, and chronic inflammatory condition tracking. It is often paired with other vital sign monitoring.
All devices are FDA-cleared with clinical-grade accuracy (±0.2°F / ±0.1°C for oral thermometers, ±0.4°F / ±0.2°C for infrared). Non-contact infrared models provide instant readings without touching the patient.
Yes. Temperature is a qualifying physiologic parameter for RPM billing under CPT 99454 when ordered by a physician for a documented medical condition. It must be captured by an FDA-cleared device that transmits data electronically.
Yes. Facility-wide temperature monitoring supports infection surveillance programs. Early detection of fever trends across a community can trigger infection control protocols before outbreaks spread.
