The first I had ever seen or heard of the a temporal scanner was when I was in the hospital having my youngest. I can remember with my other kids I had to put the thermometer in my mouth and wait. I’m a very impatient person and hate waiting. So when I found out about the Exergen TemporalScanner. I thought “Wow so much easier and no more waiting”
The waiting is the worst when your kids are sick and you really want to know RIGHT NOW how high their fever is. When my kids are sick I want to make them as comfortable as possible. Most of the time they spend the day sleeping when they are really sick. With the Exergen TemporalScanner you don’t have to wake them to take their temp.
It’s not just for kids though. This is my husband’s newest favorite gadget. He is always asking if he has a fever. Now I just hand him the Exergen TemporalScanner and he can find out for himself.
About the Exergen TemporalScanner
What is the Exergen TemporalScanner?
The Exergen TemporalScanner is the world’s first infrared thermometer designed to measure body temperature by taking a reading from the temporal artery. The temporal scanner is a much more accurate means of taking temperature then any of the other ways including oral, rectal, under the arm and in the ear. It’s also the least invasive method, depending upon a gentle sweep over a patient’s forehead.
What does the TemporalScanner measure?
The TemporalScanner captures naturally emitted heat from the skin over the temporal artery taking 1,000 readings per second, and selecting the most accurate.
Why is is more accurate then measuring ear temperature?
Ear thermometers are considered inaccurate by medical professionals because the positioning of the probe in the ear canal is inconsistent, thus creating varied readings that frequently result in missing fevers. A Harvard Medical School study has proven that the TemporalScanner is more accurate than ear thermometers.
This really is the easiest, quickest, least invasive method to take temperatures. All you have to do is press the button and hold them gently scan across the forehead until you reach the hairline. A red LED light and beep tell you that you have scanned correctly. It takes less then 10 seconds!
Just don’t forget to take the cap off the top like me. I tested it out on myself then looked at the reading and thought “Huh? That can’t be right.” Yes… it wasn’t I forgot to take the cap off silly me.
I know what you are thinking. Where can I get one of these?
