THE REVIEW:
The past couple weeks have just been really difficult. In addition to my mom being sick (you can see updates here), I had bronchitis about 2 weeks ago and Sara Rose had an ear infection. And her ear infection turned into 2 ear infections. So the first Friday that my mom was in the hospital, I was taking Sara back to the doctor to get a new antibiotic since the first one did not work. And the doctor said that as long as she did not get a fever, she was pretty sure this antibiotic would work (it has in the past). So of course on Friday evening, lo and behold, I think she feels warm and she does not want me to take her temperature. I am starting to be really concerned- the last thing that I want it to have to take her to the hospital because the doctor was already closed. And then hubby walks in the door and tells me I have a package. And I kid you not- it was the Exergen TemporalScanner. So of course I rip it open, scan the directions and put it on Sara's forehead. She thinks it is funny. And she lets me take her temperature. It was 99.6. So not really a fever. She let me take her temperature all weekend and she did not have a fever.
I have to say that I love this product. It is really easy to use. I mean I was able to figure it out really quickly when I really needed to. And Sara thinks it is fun, so as far as I am concerned that is just icing on the cake. I also found it to be really accurate. So overall, I just think it is wonderful and a product that every household should have.
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 patented technology employs an infrared sensor that accurately registers body temperature to within +0.2ยบ F—a much more accurate means of taking the temperature than any other way including oral, rectal, axillary (under the arm) and tympanic (in the ear). It is 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. With 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.
Do you want to try it yourself? One lucky winner will receive one Exergen TemporalScanner.

It almost looks too easy. Imagine: no discomfort for the child.
I like: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.

My daughter gets super high temperatures--usually between 104 and 105--and usually in the middle of the night. They have to be carefully monitored. This would make it so much easier and less intrusive, right now we use an oral digital.

I appreciate Exergen's accuracy most of all.
I love that you can use the Exergen to take the temperature of a sleeping child! That's revolutionary!
Thanks.
What a wonderful contest ~ Thanks for posting!
I love that it gives 2000 readings per second!
I like how quickly and easy it takes the temperature. With the underarm one, you have to focus on the thermometer for a long time until it is ready. With this it is done so quickly that you do not even realize it is done. thank you.

I don't have to wake Chubby-huggy when I check for fevers! And it sure beats my old fashioned glass thermometer I bought with the mercury line in it. I was shaking it to get the line down and it flew out of my hands and broke in the bathtub.
harmonden[at]wowway[dot]com
For me the best feature is that it's non-invasive. We wouldn't need two parent to take the temp any more! And I love that it's fast.
What a great invention. I love the fact that it is so easy to use. No more wrestling with your little one to get his temp.
I like that you don't have to worry about a child "biting" on the thermometer. Also it's so quick!!!

I don't have to put it under baby's arm which makes her cry. So it is very easy to use, fast and non-invasive!
my favorite aspect of this is that it First scans like a video camera, capturing naturally emitted infrared heat from the arterial blood supply at about 1000 “frames” per second, locking in the highest temperature it senses.
Here are my favorite things about the TemporalScanner...noninvasive, easy to use, and it gives an accurate temp reading.

The gentle scan across the forehead is comfortable and not objectionable. The TemporalScanner has been proven more accurate than ear thermometers !
I love how it does not come in contact with bodily fliud which can transfer germs from one family member to the next!
