The Exergen TemporalScanner is an infrared thermometer that captures temperature by scanning the heat that comes off a person’s forehead via the temporal artery. It is non-invasive, easy-to-use, quick and extremely accurate.
While almost 50 percent of hospitals and pediatricians are using this new thermometer, I hadn’t even heard of it before I received the opportunity to review it! Had I seen the TemporalScanner in action I’m certain I would have purchased it long ago. I am frequently taking the temperature of my boys because of one sickness or another and I’ve been frustrated with my current ear thermometer. Since Lucian was born two years ago we’ve had two different ear thermometers. The latest cost $50 and with the higher price tag we thought we’d get accurate results easily. Unfortunately that hasn’t been the case. I feel like I’m jamming it in my sons’ ears and the temperature can be as much as 1 degree different each time I take it. I know from using it myself it is very uncomfortable and when your little one is sick the last thing you want to do is make your him more uncomfortable.
I’ve found the Exergen TemporalScanner to be painless and easy to use. Lucian asks me to take his temperature and enjoys trying to take his own! It is nice to know if I need to take a temperature when my child is sleeping, I can do it without disturbing him. I also like how quick it is. Only 2 seconds to get results!
Improvement Suggestions: It can be tricky at first to learn the proper technique to take the temperature. I still take my child’s temperature multiple times and settle on the highest temperature that I get. Most of the time it only varies a .1 to .4 degree, not a full degree or more so it isn’t a a huge concern.

The arteral scan is much easier and more comfortable than inserting a thermometer into the ear canal.
The temporal artery thermometer scans the forehead area for the temporal artery and it is almost impossible to miss the artery during a scan.
I learned that the thermometer is available at Costco, Walgreens and Babies 'R Us, among other stores. Thanks for the chance!

I'd like to win the thermometer because my children have been sick often this year since we moved up north and they are tired of dealing with the old-fashioned under-the-tongue thermometer. Thanks!

I learned that it takes 1000 readings per second! That means the temperature is pretty darn accurate!
I follow your blog.
I'd like to win so I don't have to spend so much time taking a temperature next time someone in the house feels bad…and more time making sure they're comfy.
I learned that The TemporalScanner has been proven more accurate than ear thermometers by a Harvard Medical School study.

By testing the temp on the temporal artery you get a more accurate reading than any other type. It is also quick and non evasive for the child. This would make my life a lot easier.
Testing on the temporal artery is much less evasive for the child. It also gives you a more accurate reading.
The arterial temperature is the most accurate.
