Exergen Temporal Scanner Giveaway

Leave a Comment
About six months ago I was fortunate enough to win a giveaway on another blog for an Exergen Temporal Scanner.
I was really wondering before we received it whether it was "that much" better than the ear thermometer we currently owned, as we found our ear thermometer quite good, except when the fever was accompanied by an ear infection, ouch!
We were extremely impressed by the accuracy of the Exergen Temporal Scanner. Often we had to use our ear thermometer three or four times successively in order to receive a reading that was in line with a previous one. It could fluctuate by as much as a degree one way or another. But the Exergen has never given us a reading more than .2 degrees either way when we have taken a few or more readings, so now we just stick to 2 readings and we know we are getting the correct temperature.
The reason it is so accurate? In the couple of seconds that it takes to sweep over the forehead to the temple it takes about 2000 readings and it selects the most accurate.
It takes some practice to use it right, but once you get the hang of it, you'll feel like you're a medical professional. Take a peek at how easy it is to use.
As part of The Parent Reviewers Blog Tour for the Exergen Temporal Scanner, each participating blog was sent an Exergen Temporal Scanner to use and review in their home. Since I already own one, I am giving away the one that was provided to me for this blog tour away to one of my readers!
To enter the giveaway visit Exergen.com and tell me something you learned about the Exergen Temporal Scanner or a place near you where you can purchase one.

The best place to measure temperature is in the center of the heart, but this can only be done under a doctor's supervision. That was new to me. Thank you for the aweseome giveaway. Would love to win.

One thing I didn't know was to take the temp behind the ear if there's any sweat on the forehead.

Arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature.

It is more accurate because Temporal artery temperature is not affected by the things that cause oral and underarm temperatures to be misleading.
I learned that the temporal artery is a branch of the internal carotid artery.

My doctor recommended this thermometer highly. I always use the under the arm method and it is not as accurate as this one.
These are available at our Wal-mart. I bought mine there! I love it and would like to win one for my friend who is expecting.

I can buy one at my local Walmart. I have to say as I went around the house today taking everyone's temperatures, I was really thinking that I needed one of these. It's so hard making sure a regular ear thermometer is properly inserted and then I can take my little one's temp and it can be different every time.

the best place to measure temp is the center of your heart
It measures the temperal artery, which gives the most accurate temp for the body. I never knew this. I have 6 children, it seems someone is always getting sick! I'd love to be able to take their temp, and check on them while they are sleeping, and not have to wake them up like I do now.
Thanks!

I learned the Exergen Temporal Scanner captures naturally emitted infrared heat
from the arterial blood supply at about 1000 times per second, locking in
the highest temperature it senses.
