Exergen Temporal Scanner (review)

One of the hardest things to do with little ones who aren't feeling well is to take their temperature. My son literally throws a fit each and every time we have to check his temperature no matter what.

As a mom, I grew frustrated and wished there was an easier and faster way to get the answer I need while keeping him content. Thank goodness for the Exergen Temporal Scanner.


We were able to try out the Temporal Scanner in our home and I could not be happier with this product. It's easy to use and quick as a snap. When I tested it out on Alex, I had his temperature in seconds. After I got his temperature, he was getting ready to have the fit he always does when he realized that it wouldn't be necessary this time. :) High Five!

I'm excited to have this for our family and the little one on the way. Getting an accurate reading is so important but being able to make it quick and easy is a wonderful perk.

Here is some product information from the Exergen website:

The TemporalScanner Thermometer is a totally 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.

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.

The TemporalScanner has patented software, providing arterial heat balance. 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.

Thanks to Exergen for this review opportunity.
