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 TemporalScanner has been proven more accurate than ear thermometers by a Harvard Medical School study.
I learned you could get inconsistent readings if you scan across too quickly since the motion cools the area.
I would like to win because I have 3 kids and it is always nice to be able to take a quick temperature.

I would like to win this because it would make taking temperatures so much easier.
It senses the infrared heat at 1,000 frames per second, and takes into account the ambient temperature of the room.

I would like to win, so I wouldn't have to deal with the inevitable poo-dodging when taking the rectal temp.

i didn't know this is more accurate than the ear.
i've been wanting to try this for a long time…it'll be great to win it.
I learned that they're more accurate than the ear thermometers. I currently have an ear thermometer and don't use it because I always thought it was so inaccurate. I'd love to try one of these. Plus I like that they can take the temp so quickly and non-invasively.
Thanks!

Strange! I learned that I used to live less than a half mile from their facility along the Charles River just outside of Watertown, Mass. Who knew?
I'd like to win this because my younger son is autistic, with "sensory defensiveness" issues — you aren't going to manage any intrusive measurements without a LOT of sweat and tears, so being able to use this while he sleeps sounds like heaven!
Learned that The TemporalScanner has been proven more accurate than ear thermometers by a Harvard Medical School study. Thanks for the great giveaway!
the exergen uses its patented Arterial Heat Balance system the TemporalScanner measures ambient temperatures, mathematically replaces the small temperature loss from cooling at the skin, and displays an accurate arterial temperature.
I learned that the Exergen Temporal Scanner 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.
I want to win becuase the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer is awesome.
I take care of my 91 year old father and this gadget would really come in handy and make my job easier!

I'd love to win because my thermometer is so old school and I think the readings are off, this would be so much better to have on hand when someone's sick

I did not know that the best place to take the temperature is the near the heart. Thank you

Multiple temperatures taken over the same area in rapid succession will ultimately cool the area causing differences.
id love this to use on my son and its great that its so quick,easy and painless:)

The Exergen takes a thousand readings in a second and selects the most accurate one. Amazing!!!
I would love to win because it is incredibly fast and accurate. If one of my children has a fever and they are crying or don't feel good then this would be perfect. Most of the time they don't want to wait until the thermometer is ready with a reading.
