I was looking for a new thermometer, when I came across the Exergen Temporal Scanner. I had the ear one and was having trouble using it on my 7 month old. I never felt like it was positioned correctly and was constantly doubting its accuracy.
I started to research different options and what I discovered was Exergen. Their Temporal Scanner is an infrared thermometer that measures body temperature by taking a reading from the temporal artery. This thermometer is not only a more accurate way to measure, but it is also the least invasive.
Here is a short video of me taking my 4 year old’s temperature.
See how easy it was. It did take a little practice to make sure that I was positioned correctly and scanning at the right speed. It was quicker than my old ear thermometer and I could even check his temperature now when he is sleeping.
Last time I went to the pediatrician’s office, I noticed that they had switched to using these, so I feel that this is the best option available.
I know it sounds to good to be true, but I can definitely say this thermometer has it all. The Temporal Scanner is available at Babies R Us, Toys R Us, Walgreens, Costco, and Baby.com.

i love that The TemporalScanner has patented software, providing arterial heat balance
Hi! what I love about the Exergen temporal Scanner is the fact that Exergen patented the Arterial Heat Balance Method!! So it automatically measures the ambient temperature at the very same time it is measuring the temperature over the temporal artery. After that it calculates heat loss (in a normal or cold room) or gain (in a hot room), and instantly computes an accurate body temperature. I feel that this is MORE reliable that the EAR method!
Thank-you!

I love that it has a one year warranty – our thermometer always seems to be broken when we need it, so reliability is a big plus.

it’s very accurate…this would be great…I feel like the kids are always getting ear infections
Advanced, patented technology measures temperatures with a gentle stroke across the forehead.
I like the whole non-invasive feature. No waking up or really disturbing the child or person whose temperature you are taking – this alone makes it worthwhile!
I like that it works so quickly. Its not easy to keep a kid still long enough to take their temp.

That it’s accurate!!wombatspurple[at]yahoo.com
I like that it is both accurate AND easy to use.
I like the fact that this one is non-invasive! My digital scanner is well past it’s prime and cannot be trusted for a true reading. Who wants a mercury thermometer stuck into an orifice when you are coughing, sneezing or congested – or when you are nauseated or have diarrhea or vomiting? I love that the Exergen TemporalScanner is fast, accurate, and non – invasive! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
I love how it's non-invasive & easy to read!
I hate try to clean the old kind in order not to spread germs.
This is perfect for a household with lots of kids.
