Kids get sick. A lot. Taking an accurate temperature on little ones is not an easy task. When my first son was born nearly eight years ago, I chose not to get a temporal artery thermometer and boy was that a huge mistake. Huge. Because with an infant in order to get an accurate temperature I had to use a rectal thermometer. I did that twice before vowing to never do that again. And when I say never, I mean it. So for two years I went with those forehead strips or underarm thermometers. Until our twins were born. With three kids under two, I made an investment in the Exergen TemporalScanner and it was the best decision I could have made.
| 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. |
For me, the Exergen TemporalScanner thermometer has felt like a life saver. Gone are the days of struggling with a wiggly infant to get their temperature or disturbing cranky sick kids. In under a minute, I can quickly grab an accurate temperature reading while barely disrupting whatever they are doing. And my favorite part? Being able to take a temperature when they are sleeping. I have done this countless times, especially during the infant years.

| Also great for toddlers who are constantly on the go! |
The Exergen TemporalScanner is really easy to use. Just gently stroke it across the forehead, crossing the temporal artery and it will beep to let you know when it is done. In just a few seconds you will have an accurate temperature reading. I don't know how I survived without this with my first son but I was so glad to have it with the rest of them. I definitely think this a must have for not only moms of newborns, but for any household with kids.
