Accuracy When You Need It Most….Exergen TemporalScanner

April 5, 2009 by Caryn

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for stopping by. The winner is Stephanie V. Congrats!

There are times when a product I’m about to review, comes at just the right time in my life. My son is FINALLY over Rotavirus (which by the way is THE worst childhood illness we’ve experienced in his 22 months of life) and while it’s been a miserable 2 weeks, I’m really glad I had an Exergen TemporalScanner Temporal Artery thermometer in the house. As a nurse, you’d think that I was an expert at every thermometer on the market. Well…surprise, surprise. Up until we received this thermometer, I took my son’s temperature the conventional way…under the arm or rectally. Taking a squirmy toddler’s temperature when he’s sick is difficult and often requires multiple attempts to ensure an accurate reading.

I’ve never actually used an ear thermometer, but according to a Harvard Medical School study, the TemporalScanner was proven to be more accurate. I have always been told by doctors in my field of expertise that ear thermometers vary in terms of accuracy. Accuracy is dependent upon both the product and the user. When my son is sick, I want accuracy and I want it as soon as possible. I don’t want to have to take his temperature 3 times (which I’ve done) until I THINK I have it right. The TemporalScanner provides an accurate temperature in two seconds. Here is a little more information about the thermometer from the site:

The TemporalScanner thermometer is a non-invasive system with advanced infrared technology providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements. Advanced, patented technology measures temperatures with a gentle stroke across the forehead.

Using the thermometer is very easy and it doesn’t require a license (hehe). Once you’ve inserted the battery, place the probe flush with the center of the forehead. Depress the scan button and slide the scanner across the forehead towards the temple. Release the button and read the temperature. Here is a little video I did with my son:

When my son first saw the thermometer, he didn’t want anything to do with it (as is typical of sick toddlers). So I let him play with it and watch mommy and daddy scan each other’s foreheads. Of course, he then wanted his forehead scanned too! One of the things I should mention is that we started scanning without taking the protective plastic cover off (don’t do that!). I thought tempeartures of 82 degrees were just a tad low! So…read the manual or go on the website and THEN use the thermometer (not the other way around!). I like that it’s quick, non-invasive and accurate. I took my son’s temperature several times and got the same reading (plus or minus a few tenths of a degree).

There is an entire science involved with why the temporal artery provides the most accurate reading, but I’ll let you read all about that on the site. The TemporalScanner retails for around $50 and can be found at retailers nationwide including Walmart (it’s less than $30 here) and Babies R Us.

Win It! One of you will receive an Exergen TemporalScanner! Simply head on over to the site and take a look around. Come back here and leave me a comment with a fact about the thermometer that was not mentioned on the site (there is a lot of information you can comment on).

A Fact: Arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature. That’s what the Exergen TemporalScanner takes!

I didn’t realize the best place to take someone’s temperature was their heart, because of the blood flow there.

The temporal temp is the temp of blood flowing fron the heart so it is much more accurate than other methods… There are less modifying factors and you don’t need to even wake them up to get a reading fast…

With a gentle stroke of the forehead it captures the naturally emitted heat from the skin over the temporal artery, taking 1,000 readings per second, selecting the most accurate.

The temporal artery thermometer scans the forehead area for the temporal artery and it is almost impossible to miss the artery during a scan. Unlike with the ear probe it’s easy to get inaccurate readings.
I know this for a fact.. The last 4 months I have been to my GYN 6 times. Each time they took my temp with an ear probe. Every time it read that I had a temp of over a 100. I was perfectly healthy each time I was there. I will have to make sure to tell them to get one of these when I am in for my next appt nest week..

I learned that 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. The temporal artery thermometer scans the forehead area for the temporal artery and it is almost impossible to miss. this sounds amazing.

Thank you so much for offering this.

Janet Carpenter

Reading your post sounds like what happens at our house! AND as someone who takes my daughter’s temperature several times, hoping to get the same answer so I’ll feel better that it’s accurate, I can relate! My fact is something for me to remember if I’m lucky enough to have one of these.

‘Multiple temperatures taken over the same area in rapid succession will ultimately cool the area causing differences.”

Thanks to you and to Exergen for an awesome, important giveaway!

Center of heart best place to measure temperature but obviously hard to get there so tempral artery is same blood. Little boy had fever last week and I am so done with rectal temp taking. Love this is non invasive with low wait time. fingers crossed.

Can be purchased at Walgreens.

TemporalScanner Thermometer 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….cool! Thank you.

Thousands of scans a second

Tabitha Blue

Wow, this is awesome… and I never knew what an arterial temperature was until I checked out their site, I guess I could’ve figured it out once I thought about it long enough. But the fact that the temporal artery is connected to the heart seems like you would get a great reading using that! Count me in… I’d love to try!

You cannot imagine how much we would love this! The temporal scanner measures the blood temperature as scanned over the skin surface of the temporal artery to accurately reflect true body temperature. Our 23 month old is on immune-suppresant medications to prevent rejection of her heart transplant that she received at 8 days old. You can’t imagine how often she has been sick! I totally sympathize with your situation with rotovirus. Is anything more emotionally and physically draining on a parent than a sick child? Thanks for the chance!

One fact is that it is more accurate than ear thermometers, which is great!

it is easy to use and gentle…
hope to win…

I can buy this at my favorite store: Walgreens. I’m in there at least once a week.

I would love to win the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer! Doctors know that measurement of the blood temperature in a major artery accurately reflects true body temperature. The Temporal Scanner Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin surface over the temporal artery, a major artery of the head. It is the only such artery positioned close enough to the skin surface to provide access needed to take an accurate measurement. It’s easy to use because it is ideally located at the front portion of the forehead. Oh, to own such an accurate, non-invasive thermometer!

This sounds about right, ours gets a different reading every time. You get a ball park idea but nothing accurate because the baby is fussing and moving

Stephen Saunders

Walgreens sells it.

I learned that: “it is sensitive to ambient temperature, which is part of the reason it is so accurate” so you should always keep it in the same room you are going to use it in.

I subscribe via email

what a great and accurate tool to have around!

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.
With six children, this would be great to have. Thanks.

Oh, Caryn, I had no idea that your little guy had Rotavirus. I’m so sorry to hear it! I hope he’s rested up and completely recovered now. Did he get that vaccine when he was a baby, by chance? We’re still trying to decide about that one…

P.S. We have an Exergen TemporalScanner and love it! It’s accurate, non-invasive, and so easy to use. I recommend it.

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.

In trying not to duplicate a comment, I will say that I learned the company takes their product so seriously (as well they should) that they are currently in court over patent infringement. The product is one they have been working on since 1980, and one they are proud to call their own.

138

It measures arterial temperature which is the most accurate measure of body temperature as it is measuring the temperature of the blood flowing from the heart.

You don’t have to wake them up to take their temperature!

219

It takes the highest reading on the forehead and the ambient air reading together and calculates the temp.
I’m looking forward to a non-invasive approach to temperature reading.

The scanner works VERY much like a laser mouse, taking infrared “pictures” about every millisecond (about one thousand per second) while watching for a specific pattern indicating “ahah, temporal artery detected, Cap’n!!”. THEN it figures out which was the best picture to yield the right hot-and-cold gradients, and finally measures just how hot was the peak temperature detected. Very impressive, watching technology just keep on keeping on, making life better and simpler. Thanks for the chance here!

i had no clue that the best place to measure temperature is the center of the heart

The best place to measure temperature is the center of the heart, but this can be done only under a doctor’s supervision. Dr.’s know that measurement of the blood temperature in a major artery accurately reflects true body temperature.

A gentle stroke across the forehead is all you need to do to get an accurate reading

228

I love that it is non invasive and so fast. I also like that it is sold at walmart. having a child with special needs that has had lots of fevers and runs when he sees a themometer this would be great for him. 1000 reading a second. That is fast

229

I would love the chance to win, thanks.

From the Exergen website: Doctors know that measurement of the blood temperature in a major artery accurately reflects true body temperature. The TemporalScanner Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin surface over the temporal artery, a major artery of the head.

I learned that It takes 1,000 readings per second, I love that it only takes 2 seconds to get a reading, and I never knew the best place to take a temperature was in the center of the heart! Thanks!

it is the best way to take a temputure. to bad it wasnet there when my kids were little. thank you pat

the MOST non-invasive way to take temperature

238

I learned that arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature.

239

I learnt that the first thing it does is 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

240

Arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature.

Wow…it takes 1000 readings every second? Pretty cool.

The thermometer is sensitive to ambient temperatures, but that makes it accurate.

243

You can use it even when the kids are sleeping

THE EXERGENS TEMPORAL SCANNER MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. ARTERIAL TEMP IS MORE ACCUARATE. AND IT IS REASURING KNOWING THAT IT IS NOT MANUFACUTURED WITH MERCURY

246

It uses the temporal artery for making measurements 1000 time per sec.

The best place to take a temp is the heart also this is non invasive

257

Hmm…. if we’re supposed to list something that isn’t on the site, then we could really just make something up, couldn’t we

I was amazed that it is sold at Sams. I would have guessed it would only be sold in yuppie grocery stores.

258

It takes 2 seconds to take a temp, and I can buy it at target!

261

It measures arterial temperature and arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature. It also takes into consideration ambient temperature.

262

Love the scanner for health care in temperature accuracy plus a wonderful tool for the peds and the geriatric patients as well as for family. Many Thanks SW

263

With a gentle stroke of the forehead it captures the naturally emitted heat from the skin over the temporal artery, taking 1,000 readings per second, selecting the most accurate

264

This unique process determines temperature by accurately measuring the balance between the tissues warming from arterial blood and tissues cooling (warming) caused by heat loss (gain) to the environment.

I need one or these, with four kids this make it easy to check for temp, and the wife does daycare.

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
