Review and Giveaway: Exergen CLOSED

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.

    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

    Thank you

    I also love the non invasive aspect of it. To be able to take my 15 month old’s temp while he’s asleep would be a huge blessing.

    So MANY things! Non-intrusive (don’t have to stick anything IN to anything); accurate (taps in to a core-temperature blood flow just fine); fast (a second or two, and done) and minimal sensory input (can take a temp without waking someone up) — particularly pertinent with my younger son, autistic and sensory defensive, with the stubbornness (and almost the strength) of a mule! Thanks!

  32. Mollie G. says

    “Fishful thinking”? Excellent, awesome, and pertinent!! NICE find — went through the initial five-step quiz, and I’m impressed with the particular incidents chosen to illustrate their “reinforcing resilience” concept. All things that are difficult for younger kids still working out social dynamics and awareness, and things that really evoke a strong parental nurturing “wish I could help with that” response. Again, thanks!

    I like that its non-invasive. I am not a fan of the “traditional” method of temperature taking. Not fun for anyone involved.

    It’s non-invasive (most moms probably said that) but my Chubby-huggy just hates it when I take her temp, even under her arm.

    I have a hard time getting my son’s temperature and this sounds like it would make it easier. I like that I could do it when he is sleeping.

    I think the best thing about this is the non-invasive way it’s used.
    Even though it’s going to be much more accurate I feel the way it’s used is the best feature.
