Exergen Temporal Scanner Review
The day that the Exergen Temporal Scanner arrived in the mail, my husband opened it without even asking me because he know how I am about my freakin' packages. There has not been a day since that I have not known my temperature at any time while my husband is home. I have naturally low body temperature. I am consistently at 97 degrees. But he tells me anyway.
However, as a constant, obsessive worrier the Exergen Temporal Scanner gives me relief. Because my husband provides me with hourly regular albeit slightly annoying updates. Some would find this annoying but secretly I am satisfied to know that my kid's temperatures are in the normal range. One less thing to worry about.
“The Exergen TemporalScanner infrared thermometer, which reads a temperature in just two seconds, is available at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Costco, Babies R Us, Toys R Us and Sam’s Clubs nationwide. It gives parents a comforting option for taking a temperature. Gentle as a healing hand against a child’s face, the Exergen TemporalScanner gauges body temperature in two seconds by capturing the naturally emitted heat from skin over the temporal artery, which runs across the forehead and is directly connected to the heart via the carotid artery.”
Check out this video with a sort of creepy baby in it (not the baby pictured here). The video fully explains how to use the Exergen Temporal Scanner in layman's terms. I learned a lot about the product just by watching this short video.
Seriously though? This thing rocks. It is fast. It is accurate. And it gives me peace of mind. Now my husband has a new toy and with it, he can play Super Dad by constantly monitoring the temperature of my children.
You can buy the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer or Scanner on Amazon.com.
Arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature.
It takes over 1000 readings per second and selects the most accurate.

i learned it uses advanced infrared technology providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements
This could explain why often my kids were fever free when they were sick: A major reason ear thermometers are considered inaccurate by medical professionals is because the positioning of the probe in the ear canal is inconsistent, thus creating inconsistent readings and frequently missing fevers.
Thanks for the op to win one of these – I’d love for my daughter to have it for my granddaughter.

I have one of these thermometers and, too, love it! My mom bought one for me when I was pregnant with my son. I love it! The only time we’ve ever had a problem with it was when my mom kept forgetting to take the cap off of the top before using it, but that was absolutely a user issue!!
to use properly: Measure only the side of the head that is exposed. Any covering, hair, hat, etc. will prevent the heat from dissipating, and would cause the reading to be falsely high. This also applies if one side of the head is into a pillow.

It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to miss the temporal artery. That’s great news!!

The TemporalScanner has patented software, providing arterial heat balance. This is the basis for it’s extraordinary ability to scan temp externally.
Thank you. 🙂
1000 scans a second

Temporal artery temperature is not affected by the things that cause oral and underarm temperatures to be misleading.
I learned that I can take a childs temp while they are sleeping without waking them up and that I can buy this at Walgreens.
I learned that it doesn’t use mercury.

I learned that it factors in ambient room temperature for an accurate reading. Thanks!
I learned that the Temporal Scanner is the first non-invasive thermometer available. Thanks!
The blood in the temperal artery is the same temperature as the heart which makes it an ideal place to take your temperature.
This thermometer adjusts for the ambient temperature in the room.

I learned that arterial temp is the same temp as blood coming from the heart and is the best determination of body temp.
The Temporal Scanner gives a more accurate temp than an ear thermometer or a rectal thermometer. Thanks for the chance!
It’s non-evasive and far more accurate than the ear one we use now.
I love that’s it’s non evasive and accurate.- Easy to use helps too.
They can be bought at Walgreens.
Any parent would rely on this!
You should only measure from the side of the head that is exposed. Be careful of hats or anything that could cause a false reading.
Temporal artery temperature changes faster than temperature taken rectally
Temporal artery temperature is the most accurate gauge of body temp because it is the same as when the blood leaves the heart.

the Temporal scanner is fast (2 secs…), non-invasive (you don’t stick it in anywhere!), and (most important) ACCURATE! Every home should have one (at least!).

I want this for myself! My daughter’s temps run very high, so we’re always making 2am decisions about the ER. This would help our accuracy.
” ambient temperature affects the skin temperature, and so the thermometer automatically measures the ambient temperature at the very same time it is measuring the temperature over the temporal artery. “

It can calculate any heat loss (in a normal or cold room) or gain (in a hot room), and instantly computes an accurate body temperature. Exergen patented this method, which is called the Arterial Heat Balance Method.

I learned that first it 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 and;
Second, at the same time, a patented system measures the ambient temperature of the site where the temperature is being taken. The patented “arterial heat balance” (AHB) software then synthesizes the two separate readings to accurately determine and display body temperature.

I learned that the temporal artery is connected to the heart via the carotid artery, directly leading from the aorta, the main trunk of the arterial system. It offers constant blood flow. It is the only such artery positioned close enough to the skin surface to provide access needed to take an accurate measurement.

As the scanner moves across a forehead, taking 1000 infrared snapshots per second, it is looking for a sequence that shows a rising edge, a peak, and a falling edge — then it knows to use that “peak” as the starting point for calculating actual temperature, which adds in the baseline average skin temperature and throws out readings too far outside the averages. Technology is so great!
