Exergen Corporation is the recognized world leader in industrial and medical non-invasive temperature technology. They have provided temperature sensors for NASA and various industries and created one of the world’s most popular baby gifts, Exergen creates non-invasive temperature measurement devices providing lower cost, higher accuracy, less invasiveness, and greater reliability than ever previously possible. Exergen was the creator of the first temporal artery thermometer, the Temporal Scanner, the most efficacious, non-invasive thermometer ever created. Exergen holds over 100 issued and pending U.S. and foreign patents, and is the only manufacturer of retail medical thermometers in the U.S. Presently, half of hospitals and pediatricians currently use the Exergen TemporalScanner, and well over 4 million consumers use one at home.
I recently received one of the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometers and we love it. This thermometer is great for all ages, no matter how old you are when you feel bad the last thing you want to deal with is holding a thermometer in your mouth. You can get a temperature reading in only 2 seconds! The way it works is it captures the naturally emitted heat from skin over the temporal artery, which runs across the forehead and is directly connected to the heart via the carotid artery. You will know if you scanned the forehead correctly with the red LED indicator or soft beep (off in silent mode).The Temporal Scanner Thermometer features a soft glow LCD display so you can take that sleeping baby’s temp in the dark and it has a silent mode, the baby will never know you were there, plus the thermometer stores the 8 most recent temperature readings so you can track the progress of a fever.
Check out all of the YouTube videos here to see the Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer in action. The awesome folks from Exergen have teamed up with me to offer a Temporal Scanner Thermometer to be given away to one of my lucky readers. The giveaway will start this Saturday 10/25 so be sure to check back and show Exergen some love on facebook and twitter.

This looks like it would be very convenient for a child who cannot do an oral temp, due to special needs
