The Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer is a non-invasive system that can easily be used for newborns, infants, children or adults. Temperature is taken by gently placing the thermometer on the forehead while it measures the balance between the tissues warming from arterial blood and tissues cooling from the environment. This unique design allows you to take the temperature of the skin surface over the temporal artery and uses advanced infrared technology to do so.
Features
Temporal artery temperature scanner
Temperature is taken by placing the thermometer over the temporal artery so temperatures can be read through non-invasive procedures. This is the gentlest way to take a baby’s temperature.
Infrared technology
Temperatures are read through infrared technology to provide accurate temperature readings. The thermometer first scans and captures naturally emitted infrared heat, then measures the ambient temperature of the site where the temperature is being taken. Arterial heat balance software then synthesizes these readings to determine body temperature.
Clinically tested
This thermometer has been clinically tested for accuracy in comparison to rectal thermometers. It is accepted for use in major hospitals so you can feel safe using it on anyone at home.
Patented software
The patented software provides arterial heat balance. The process accurately measures the balance between the tissues warming from arterial blood and tissues cooling from the environment.

I purchased this thermometer after seeing my pediatrician use it. I was impressed with how quick and easy it was to take my son's temp. The key to getting an accurate temp it to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and FOLLOW THEM!
It specifically tells you how to 1)slide the thermometer across the forehead; 2) what to do if there is perspiration present; 3) that a temp taken from the temporal artery may be 1 degree HIGHER than an oral or underarm temp and 4) to get a feel for your or your child's normal average temp by taking it several times during a day, when they are NOT sick. Everybody has a different normal temp. That's why some people are warm and some are cold at the same time.
Please people, for the sake of others who may or may not buy a product based on a review, read the instructions and follow them. That's why they are included with the products that you buy!

I have used this product many times since my daughter's birth. I personally do not have a problem with it. I will take her temperature several times and will get the same reading each time, or if it is different, it's off by maybe .3 degrees. I have also used an underarm thermometer to check its accuracy, and this temporal thermometer seems pretty good. My husband, however, has a heck of a time with this. He can take our daughter's temperature 3 times and get 3 completely different readings (98.6, 99.7, 100.1 for example). He has become frustrated with it and now refuses to use it. My guess is if you don't do it exactly right, you will not get an accurate reading. And who really wants to take their child's temperature several times in an effort to get an accurate temperature?

      Comments about Exergen Corporation Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer:

      We love this thermometer, easy to use, accurate reading and not invasive. We also the tried the r*ctal and ear one, but it was heard to read because our daughter hated them so much that we had to hold her down to get an accuarate reading.

        Comments about Exergen Corporation Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer:

        Its an OK thermometer, but over priced in my opinion. It will give an accurate range of temperature, keyword RANGE. I rarely get the same reading twice. Luckily I work in healthcare/pediatrics, so I already have an overall idea of my daughters temperature just by touching her- this product just confirms it. My job no longer uses these types of thermometers because of the accuracy. Ive had it for over a year and it still works so that is a plus, but personally Im shopping for another thermometer.

          Comments about Exergen Corporation Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer:

          It is tricky to use at first, but after you have practiced a couple of times it's super easy! I've owned many other thermometers and have ended up throwing them away since they cannot give me 2 readings that are remotely similar. By far the most reliable thermometer I've owned.

                  Comments about Exergen Corporation Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer:

                  We purchased this thermometer in preparation for our son's birth. It has been one of the handiest gadgets we have gotten and is worth every penny. Since purchasing it a few years ago, we have seen it used in doctor's offices, emergency rooms, etc. Last fall we were on vacation in the mountains and had to run to the nearest store to purchase an old fashioned kind that had to go under the tongue, arm, etc. and wait 1-2 minutes. We really missed our temporal thermometer! The instant results are great and the non-invasive method won't wake a sleeping baby. We haven't had any problems with it and the original battery is still working.

                        I've had no issues or problems with this thermometer. It's the same brand used at my doctor's office and it's easy to use. Like other reviewers note, read the directions. I have noticed there can be a slight variation in temperature if I do it multiple times within a few minutes, but nothing drastic - maybe .2 at the most, if any variation. I try to test a few times during the day to get an idea of my son's average temp. Overall, it's easy and fast to use. I actually bought a second one to have at grandma and grandpas's house. It came with batteries too so it's ready to use out of the package.
