CheckPoint Kiosk is a non-thermal camera, health screening kiosk that allows you to easily screen employees and visitors with a simple set of health questions. Questions and requirements for masking are based on current United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations.
After screening, a date-stamped badge is printed for easy identification within your facility.
CheckPoint Kiosk FAQ
CheckPoint FAQ
-
-
No. CheckPoint does not include thermal temperature screening and instead asks the user a series of questions to determine their risk level. Since thermal cameras have not been proven completely reliable and many infected people are asymptomatic, the CheckPoint kiosk depends on screening questions based on current CDC recommendations and guidelines.
-
No, CheckPoint does not track or store any identifying information about the individual being screened. US law tightly regulates how health data is stored and managed. While emergency exceptions have been carved out during the pandemic, these exceptions are not clearly defined and can expose a business to significant liability.
-
Yes, CheckPoint is currently available in English with the option to also view the question flow in Spanish enabled by default. Other languages can be supported by opting for a custom version of CheckPoint – see Customization below.
-
Yes, CheckPoint can be used to screen visitors coming into a healthcare facility or school. Questions and requirements for isolation, masking, and social distancing are based on CDC recommendations for the public.
CheckPoint includes the option to require masking based on the current COVID-19 Community Level (recommended for most public facilities or based on Community Transmission Rate (recommended for healthcare facilities). As these are configured in the app’s settings and are not visitor-facing, they may also be appropriate for other types of facilities where universal mask requirements are required.
Different CDC recommendations may apply to healthcare workers; depending on your facility’s requirements, a custom version of CheckPoint may be required– see 'Customization' below.
-
No. CheckPoint kiosks are designed for indoor use and are not weather-proof.
-
Anyone coming into your building is instructed to stop for screening by the large graphic panel mounted on the rear of the kiosk. We recommend placing a kiosk close to each entrance in a position where it cannot be missed.
-
CheckPoint asks a series of questions that can include possible exposure, presence of fever, symptoms, immunocompromise, and/or recent COVID-19 test results.
A current set of questions can be provided on request. Questions are based on the current Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations for exposure and isolation.
-
In line with current CDC recommendations, CheckPoint requires employees or visitors to mask while around other within a facility based on specific criteria.
As social distancing recommendations have recently been removed from CDC guidance, CheckPoint does not require distancing.
-
The following is provided as a summary of criteria that affect the outcome of screening - please refer to the actual question flow for clarification if needed.
Any individual with one or more of the following will fail screening:
• fever above 100.4° F or use of any medicine to reduce a fever in the past 24 hours OR
• new or recurring COVID-related symptoms:
> in the past 5 days OR
> in the past 10 days with recent history of moderate illness from COVID-19 (indicated by new symptoms that affect the lungs like shortness of breath or difficulty breathing) OR
> in individuals with immunocompromise or recent history of severe illness from COVID-19 (requiring hospitalization) that have not been cleared to end isolation by a healthcare provider OR
> without improvement in symptoms (other than possible loss of taste and/or smell) OR
• new positive test result in the past 5 days
Any individual not meeting the criteria to fail screening above along with one or more of the following will be required to agree to mask while around others in a facility:
• exposure to COVID-19 in the past 10 days OR
• new or recurring COVID-related symptoms in the past 6-10 days with improvement in symptoms (unless two subsequent, sequential negative tests 48 hours apart) OR

Any individual not meeting the criteria to fail screening or to pass screening with mask required as outlined above OR any individual meeting the criteria to pass screening with mask required as outlined above with a specific mask exemption criteria (age less than 2 years, has trouble breathing, or is not able to remove a mask without help) will be allowed to enter the facility without a mask.
Any individual not meeting the criteria to fail screening or to pass screening with mask required as outlined above OR any individual meeting the criteria to pass screening with mask required as outlined above with a specific mask exemption criteria (age less than 2 years, has trouble breathing, or is not able to remove a mask without help) will be allowed to enter the facility without a mask. -
Yes. We are monitoring the CDC’s website and will update questions and masking requirements for standard versions of CheckPoint automatically when their recommendations change.
-
Initial screening generally takes two to three minutes. As employees and visitors become more familiar with the questions, the time required can decrease significantly.
-
After successful screening, a date-stamped badge is printed with the day of the week, date, and time in large text. Everyone in your facility must wear a badge with the current day clearly showing at all times.
-
A label is printed with instructions telling the person what they should do next. The text shown and printed on failure to pass screening can be customized separately for visitors and employees for each individual kiosk and updated from within the app’s settings. If additional screening is required, it can be noted here.
-
Yes. The text shown and printed can be customized separately for visitors and employees for each individual kiosk and updated from within the app’s settings, allowing you to provide specific instructions for different audiences and locations, including instructions for additional screening if needed.
-
Yes, we can provide a quote for changes requested based on Kiosk Group’s current rate for HTML development.
As the customer, you would be responsible for providing any changes to question flow or masking requirements to determine an estimate for the initial scope of work. This is only an estimate and work will be charged at an hourly rate as completed. If work is to exceed this estimate due to changes in scope or other customer delays, the software team at Kiosk Group will reach out to to confirm additional time requirements prior to work commencing. If work is completed in less than estimated, a refund will be issued for the balance remaining.
Prior to programming commencing, the team at Kiosk Group will provide a custom question flow for customer review and approval based on the changes requested in the initial scope of work.
As the content for custom versions of CheckPoint is determined by the customer, content will NOT automatically be updated based on changes to CDC guidance. An active CheckPoint subscription & associated subscription fees is still required for CheckPoint kiosks running custom versions.
Any future changes to screening questions or masking requirements must be requested by the customer in writing and will be quoted and completed with a two hour minimum per request.
-
Custom graphics for the rear panel are available for an additional charge.
-
You will most likely need a kiosk for every entrance into your facility. If you have a high volume of employees or visitors entering at a single time, you may want to consider additional kiosks to expedite screening and encourage social distancing.
You may choose to limit alternate entrances while running screening and instruct people coming into your facility to use one or more primary entrances. If you need a way to direct individuals to these entrances, we offer custom printed signage as an optional add-on.

-
The CheckPoint kiosk comes with software pre-installed and ready to go out of the box.
To provision and manage the iPad tablet, we use Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP) and mobile device management software. In addition, the CheckPoint app is distributed as a Custom B2B app through Apple Business Manager (ABM). Apple’s terms for these programs clearly state that Kiosk Group must retain ownership of the iPad while it is enrolled in our DEP or has the CheckPoint app installed.
-
If you want to continue to use CheckPoint screening, you will need to renew the existing iPad lease and software subscription.
Otherwise, at the end of the lease period or when you choose to no longer use the CheckPoint screening, you can return the iPad or buy out the lease for a $1 payment.
After the buyout, the iPad will be released from Kiosk Group’s Device Enrollment Program account, wiped remotely to remove the Checkpoint software and mobile device management profile, and ownership officially transferred.
Due to Apple restrictions, it is not currently possible to enroll an iPad that has been removed from our Device Enrollment Program account into another company’s DEP or ABM account.
-
For large deployments, we can optionally set up a separate instance of the CheckPoint app that would be linked to your organization’s Apple Business Manager account for an additional charge. In this instance, you would be responsible for provisioning and managing the iPads on your own.
-
Label stock. While we provide an initial roll of label stock, subsequent refills are the responsibility of the end customer. Additional label stock can be ordered on request from Kiosk Group.
Cleaning cards for the printer. Regular maintenance of thermal printers improve print quality and reduce the chance of jamming by removing dirt, ink, adhesive residue, and other contaminates from the print heads and paper guides. Cleaning cards are recommended to be used between every roll and can be ordered on request from Kiosk Group.
WiFi internet connection. CheckPoint is a hosted solution, which means an internet connection is required for use.
If you do not have a reliable WiFi signal where the kiosk is to be placed, we can provide a kit to connect the iPad to wired Ethernet for an additional fee. This is not currently an option for kiosks using Brother printers as those require a WiFi connection for communication between the tablet and printer.
Liquid or gel hand sanitizer, if desired. The kiosk ships with an empty pump bottle for hand sanitizer. Purchasing hand sanitizer to fill this bottle or replacing it with a new bottle is the responsibility of the customer. If you do not want to offer hand sanitizer, the sanitizer mounting kit can be removed from the kiosk at any point.
-
The kiosk arrives fully assembled with the graphic panel packaged separately on the same pallet.
Protective packaging and freight shipping within the continental US are included with loading dock delivery. If a lift gate or indoor delivery is required, there will be an additional fee.
-
Simple instructions for removing the kiosk from the pallet and attaching the graphic panel will be provided along with hardware. We recommend having a power screwdriver with a standard Phillips head and an extra set of hands for this part of the process.
-
The kiosk arrives fully assembled with the graphic panel packaged separately on the same pallet. The iPad and printer come preconfigured with software and are already installed in the kiosk.
For on-site setup, your team will need to:

• launch the CheckPoint app and confirm that the tablet has automatically locked to the app
We’re happy to set up a quick call with you or your team to walk you through this process.
-
The number of labels per roll depends on the printer option you’ve selected. How frequently label stock will need to be replaced will depend on the number of labels per roll and traffic levels at your kiosk.
The CheckPoint kiosk opens through a keyed lock at the rear of the enclosure. The front hinges out to provide access to the printer. The top of the kiosk front should be supported with a hand while opening. Nothing has to be removed and changing out label stock should only take a couple of minutes.
