Description:

The TemporalScanner Thermometer is a totally non-invasive system with advanced infrared technology providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements. Advanced, patented technology measures temperatures with a gentle stroke across the forehead. The TemporalScanner Thermometer has been clinically tested for accuracy compared to rectal thermometers and temperature sensors inserted in the heart during course of patient treatment and accepted for use in major hospitals, making it the ideal thermometer for use with newborns, infants, children or adults. The TemporalScanner has patented software, providing arterial heat balance. This unique process determines temperature by accurately measuring the balance between the tissues warming from arterial blood and tissues cooling (warming) caused by heat loss (gain) to the environment.

Features:

  • Gentle Stroke of Forehead captures naturally emitted heat from skin over temporal artery

  • Red LED lights and soft beep indicate correct scan

  • Takes 1,000 readings per second, selecting the most accurate

  • Arterial Heat Balance computers the correct temperature

5Easy  Mar 11, 2010

This is an amazing invention! The package contained a battery, the thermometer itself and an instruction booklet. It was very easy to use. You simply place the top of the thermometer on your child's (or baby's) forehead and push the button. You will hear a quiet beeping sound and then you can easily check the digital reading to see if the child has a fever. It is quick, easy and accurate.

This thermometer is recommended by many doctors and is also sold in places like: Wal-Mart, Costco and Toys R Us.

5Love it!  Mar 11, 2010
The thermometer we had died years ago and I've been using my trusty hand to check his temperature.

I received this and tried it out immediately and discovered that it's EASY to use.

The thermometer comes with a 9 v battery which made me excited. (I know I'm weird!)

It comes with a user's guide and it's easy to follow. It is lightweight and easy to hold.

You simply remove the cap and place the tip on the forehead. Press down the button and move the thermometer across the forehead to the hairline--while holding down the button. Release the button when you reach the hairline and it tells you the temperature.

It claims to be more accurate than ear thermometers. I can believe that. I remember my old daycare teacher days trying to use the ear thermometers. They can be too large to place into the ear of very small children and you have to purchase the disposable tips.

I like this type of thermometer better than the underarm thermometers as well. Holding feverish children and trying to keep them still for an underarm reading wasn't very fun either!

Another great point about this thermometer is NO MERCURY!

I see a lot of value in this type of thermometer. I imagine we'll be finding dozens of reasons to check his temperature in the coming weeks.

If you'd like to find out about the Exergen Temporal Scanner you can check out their FAQ's on their home page.

Exergen also has a Facebook fan page where you can find more information.

5Accurate after a little practice!  Mar 10, 2010
Thankfully, my children have been very healthy. However, on the few occasions that I thought they might be ill, taking their temperatures was the worst part of it all! I basically relied on my mama wrist or lips feeling their foreheads if I thought they had a temperature.

When Mama Buzz asked if I'd like to test a Temporal Artery Thermometer by Exergen, I couldn't say no.

Placing the thermometer's probe in the middle of the forehead and taking a 2-second slide over to the hairline is all it takes to use Exergen's TemporalScanner.

And while that seems simple, it does take a bit of coordination and practice to keep the probe in contact with the skin. (Either that, or my kids have bumpy heads)! ;-) Breaking skin contact will give inaccurate readings.

I found it easier to take my children's temperatures if they placed their heads as if lying down.

The thermometer works by "capturing the...heat from skin over the temporal artery, which runs across the forehead and is directly connected to the heart via the carotid artery."

After a little practice, I received consistent 98.4-98.6 readings over and over from me, my husband, and kids. I even tested the thermometer on my wrist, just to see if it was really giving a "real" temperature. Yep, my wrist was a much cooler 97.something.

I would definitely buy this as a baby shower gift!

5GREAT THERMOMETER! BEST FOR BABY  Mar 10, 2010
I WENT THRU MANY TO GET TO THIS ONE, BUT GLAD I FOUND IT. SAME AS HID PEDI USES AND IT'S VERY ACCURATE.

4solid performer  Mar 07, 2010
Pro- I like that you can take several readings within seconds of each other and see the average or high temperature. It's definitely technique sensitive so you will need to practice a few times to get it down. Try it out in everyone in the family when you get it so when you need it you'll have a reliable reading.
Con- I don't like where the button is- at least for my hands it feels a little awkward. This is fortunately overcome though with some practicing.

I definitely would buy it again though- it's a solid performer, making temperature taking much easier and faster than any other method.
