Great Thermometer

I just purchased the Exergen Temporal thermometer today from Walmart. My son had not been feeling well and I had finally had it with my Braun tympanic (ear) thermometer. I never felt like I could get an accurate reading. I am an RN, and we have been using the Exergen Temporal thermometer (professional model) for years.
When used correctly, it really does give an accurate reading. Using this model does take a bit of practice, but after a few tries you should get the hang of it. What I love about it is that you can take a temp. when your child is sleeping.
As other reviewers have noted, you press the button after the thermometer is touching the forehead and you let go of the button BEFORE you take it off. By the way, at work we were taught to "rub" the thermometer across the forehead and bring it down in front of the ear and stop at the bottom of the earlobe. If you look at the diagram on the back of the package, this is the route of the temporal artery. I have tried both methods, and both readings were nearly identical.
Of course being a nurse, I do have 2 digital thermometers at home (one for rectal temp. and one for oral temp). My Exergen temporal thermometer will be my first choice when taking a temperature on my kids, and I am sure they will appreciate it over the other choices ;)

By Far, The Best Invention

I was just in the hospital and they took my temperature with this type of thermometer. I immediately ordered this model because we could never master the ear, armpit, or under the tongue method. Totally unreliable and the kids hated all of them. This is unbelievable! Takes like 1 second to do and it's not invasive. I'm recommending it to every parent I know.

Great.

I bought this thermometer because I don't want to take a temp on my daughter rectally every time I think she might have a temperature. Our pediatrician wants a rectal temp to be seen for a sick appointment, so I can at least get an idea of if I need to go through that hassle. I do agree with the reviewer who said that its a bit difficult to know if the unit is placed flat on the forehead. I don't think that it is that hard though. We'll take this to out next appointment to see just how accurate it is.

Best way to get an accurate reading!

We brought this thermometer to the hospital and after the Doctor took his reading, ours was within .1 of theirs. We are very comfortable and would suggest this product in a heartbeat (pun intended).

The TemporalScanner Thermometer is a totally non-invasive system with advanced infrared technology providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements. Take your index finger, put it on the center of your forehead, slide it on a line over your eyebrow to your hairline. If you had the Exergen thermometer in your hand, you would have taken the quickest and most accurate non-invasive temperature available. Features: Method of choice of Premier Hospitals Use on sleeping infant, or child with ear infection Recommended for the whole family No probe covers required More accurate than ear - Harvard Medical School study. At least as accurate as rectal - Hospital for Sick Children study. Protected by 11 US patents, made in USA 9V Battery included. Recommended by physicians. Directions: Remove protective cap before use. Be sure lens is clean. If not, clean with cotton swab dipped in alcohol and let dry. Hold the thermometer as shown. Gently position the probe flush (flat) on the center of the forehead, midway between the eyebrow and the hairline. Press and hold the SCAN button. Lightly slide the thermometer across the forehead keeping the sensor flat and in contact with the skin until you reach the hairline. You will hear a beeping and a red light will blink to indicate a measurement is taking place. If perspiration is present, continue to hold button depressed, lift probe from forehead and touch the neck just behind the ear lobe. Release the SCAN button and remove the thermometer from the head. Read the temperature on the display. Thermometer will shut off automatically after 30 seconds. To turn the thermometer off immediately, press and release the button quickly. Replace the protective cap on thermometer to protect the sensor when not in use.
