Exergen Temporal Scanner (review/giveaway)






Flu season is fast approaching, which means pull those thermometers out of the medicine cabinets. I've been using those digital thermometers that go under the arm, under the tounge, or in desperate measures...in the bum (yes, we have a different one for each area lol)...yuck! Jaylin has been my sick child, she's had so many ear infections, sinus infections and fevers it just isn't funny anymore...she hates her temperature taken.

I was sent the Exergen Temporal Scanner to review. I was so thrilled that Jaylin LET me take her temperature, of course she wasn't really sick and I was just playing around with it. But it was a lot easier than holding her arm down so I could keep a thermometer in her armpit while she's screaming and having a tantrum about it for a minute! Took less than 30seconds to do!
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.
It's easy to use too, just put the Exergen Temporal Scanner in the middle of the forehead, push the button then rub across to the temple then let go of the button...bam! You got the temperature! Easy, right?

The Giveaway: I have been given the great opportunity to give away an Exergen Temporal Scanner to one of my lucky readers!

It scans like a video camera finding the highest temp that it senses. I think this is so cool because my 8 month old has been sick alot lately, and while I want an accurate temp, I hate doing rectal temps!!

tawndam said...

these are so easy to use! If you have difficulty getting a temp by sliding across the forehead, you can get a reading under the earlobe on that artery... very helpful if you just can't get a sliding temp and it's still non-invasive!

The best place to measure temperature is the center of the heart, but since this can only be done with doctors supervision (or by a doctor), this thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin surface over the temporal artery, a major artery of the head.

As you gently stroke the thermometer across the forehead crossing over the temporal artery, the sensor in its probe performs two processes:
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 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 then can calculate any heat loss (in a normal or cold room) or gain (in a hot room), and instantly computes an accurate body temperature. amsbolda@hotmail.com

It is more accurate than ear temperature because positioning in the ear canal is inconsistent creating inconsistent temperatures and missed fevers.

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. Thanks!

Why is it more accurate than ear temperature?
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 the artery during a scan. Also, the person whose temperature is being taken does not like something inserted in their ear, making good positioning even more difficult. The gentle scan across the forehead is comfortable and not objectionable. The TemporalScanner has been proven more accurate than ear thermometers by a Harvard Medical School study.

The thermometer also measures the ambient temperature to help get the most accurate reading.

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.
