Average Customer Ratings:

The TemporalScanner Thermometer is a totally non-invasive system with advanced infrared technology providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements. Advanced, patented technology measures temperatures with a gentle stroke across the forehead.

The TemporalScanner Thermometer has been clinically tested for accuracy compared to rectal thermometers and temperature sensors inserted in the heart during course of patient treatment and accepted for use in major hospitals, making it the ideal thermometer for use with newborns, infants, children or adults.

The TemporalScanner has patented software, providing arterial heat balance. This unique process determines temperature by accurately measuring the balance between the tissues warming from arterial blood and tissues cooling (warming) caused by heat loss (gain) to the environment.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Quick, easy and accurate -
Way better than doing it the old fashion way!! It has always been reliable and accurate in my experience.

Please don't waste your time with this device ... -

I purchased this Temporal Thermometer as a present for my wife, who is an ER RN is the Los Angeles area. We had been looking for about a week for a dependable and consistent thermometer for our child when I broke down a few days from her birthday and got this.

When she saw the device she was pretty unhappy about it as she had been forced for over a week to use these devices at her work, which proved to be more trouble and a larger headache in the institutional setting then they were worth. All of the Temporal Thermometers were tossed into a box and collected up and either most likely returned for a credit or tossed. Time is of the essence.

But I was intrigued and opened the package anyway and we experimented and test-ran this thermometer for about a month side by side with another thermometer, the Braun Thermoscan. I saw exactly the same results that she dealt with at her work. Here are some examples of the inconsistency:

1. Have a temperature or a fever? Error results or repeated inaccurate readings by more than one-point-five and sometime two-point-five degrees, which is huge.
2. Moisture on forehead ... from the fever ...? Error results or repeated inaccurate readings.
3. Head angle and forehead shape will dictate whether or not the device will even work.
4. Different degrees register on different portions of the same forehead.
5. Different degrees register with darker skin(!) That's the first time for that one.

Some of the reviews tell you that you need to practice with the device and develop a technique, which is absolutely absurd. What? You're supposed to go around the neighborhood interfering with other parents when their kids are sick to work on your 'technique'? Gimme a break, please. It's a thermometer , it should work and work consistently. Unfortunately it doesn't do what it's supposed to do and therefore Exergen should take this product back to the drawing board and also remove the labeling on the front about how it's the most accurate, which it is very clearly not.

I openly suspect a lot of these positive five-star reviews of this product have been placed by people directly related with this company as an ad effort. And coming from a long-time review on Amazon, this kind of thing is more rampant than you might think.

Don't buy this, getting your money back will be harder then taking a temp.

learning curve -
So simple after you learn how to use it (isn't everything). You must wait until skin contact to push the scan button. There is still a variance in repeat readings though.

Exergen -
Until now and after 2 months I have not received the product and have not received a answer to my enuire about that I have not received the thermometer. I am waiting an answer from the seller without success. I want my money back

I love it -
This is great. Only a swipe of forehead or artery below the ear and instant accurate temperture. No more waiting forever with old alcohol (mercury look) thermometer. No more germs or covers from electric. No covers to buy. No waiting for beeps, no more crying because children cant breathe through nose to hold mouth on it.
I'll never use another thermometer again.

Beware, fast swipe can cause friction effect and inaccurate temp
Best to take at least 2 swipes. I'm a nurse I use this often.
Most accurate temp is from femoral artery in between the legs. The biggest artery in body if you have access to it. It runs down the inside of the thigh. Obviously if you didn't know the person it wouldn't be available. But on this thermometer it would be equal to a rectal reading.
in accuracy
