Wow. Right now we use a 30-60 second under arm thermometer. I hate having to take baby's clothes off enough to get a reading and then holding his little arm down. I'd love to have this!
Squirming, Screaming, hands covering their ears....
These are all things associated with taking one's temperature in my household.
I don't know why but my kids have never been the type to sit still while I take their temperature.
We have tried the digital thermometers.....
They act as if I am trying to choke them.
We have tried the digital ear thermometers....
They act as if I am trying to RING their ears or something.
They squirm around so much that is almost impossible to get an accurate reading.
THAT WAS THEN....
THIS IS NOW...
The Exergen Temporal Scanner thermometer
A little about Exergen Temporal Scanner:
The Exergen TemporalScanner™is the world’s first infrared thermometer designed to measure body temperature by taking a reading from the temporal artery. The patented technology employs an infrared sensor that accurately registers body temperature to within +0.2ยบ F—a much more accurate means of taking the temperature than any other way including oral, rectal, axillary (under the arm) and tympanic (in the ear). It is also the least invasive method, depending upon a gentle sweep over a patient’s forehead.
Congrats Rebecca!

AHA!
Did you get the part about gently sweeping it over your patient's forehead??
That's all it takes is a gentle sweep. You can take their temp when they are SLEEPING!
I love it already.

I love it already.
Also,
The gentle scan across the forehead, reading the temporal artery, is more accurate and comfortable for the user.
No more "guessing" if you have the correct temperature (peace of mind).
When we first received the Exergen Temporal, I began practicing my mad temp taking skills.
I swept it across everyone's forehead (I even scanned the hubby's forehead!)
I am going to say that the readings were all accurate . . .98.4 and 98.6.
Fast Forward three days later and I got to REALLY put this baby to the test.
I had my first sick kiddo :Sigh:
Temperature was 99.3 ((DING DING)) we have a sick kiddo indeed!
*No, I am not excited about the sick kiddo part but more like excited because I got to fully TEST my new Exergen Temporal Scanner.
Guess what, folks?
The fun didn't stop there.
Two more sick kiddos the next day and this momma was in the temp taking business.
I didn't have any screaming or squirming either.
The kids thought the Exergen Temporal Scanner was rather cool.
(I think they liked the beeping sounds.)
Later they became even more curious because they were walking around taking temps of pretty much everything INCLUDING THE CAT! (Poor kitty)
From now on, we will only be using the Exergen Temporal Scanner.
