Mom Approved:

I’ll admit, thermometers and sick kids are two of my least favorite things in life. In one arm you’ve got a screaming child that wants to do nothing more than whine and expel body fluids all over your house and in the other you’ve got a gadget designed to help you determine just how sick your child is, yet makes them more irritated leaving you wondering if the temperature you just took is reliable. Then add the fact that each way of taking a temperature from the rear to the ear has it’s own set of rules, add a degree this way, subtract a degree that way. It all reminds me of why I never followed in my mother’s footsteps to become a nurse.

Then the Exergen TemporalScanner arrived. The unique and patented process makes temperature reading easy and painless for the both of us. There’s no probing the baby’s bottom, holding my daughter’s armpit clamped for 3 minutes, or squeezing her head while trying to get an ear reading. While the process is actually quite complex, obtaining the accurate result is much simpler. I put together a short clip on just how easy it was to take a temperature on my toddler daughter.



If by some reason you couldn’t view the clip, taking a temperature works in four steps. 1) remove the probe cap 2) place the probe flat across the center of the forehead. 3) while holding the button down, slide the probe across the forehead to the hairline. 4) read the digital temperature display. I’ve already tossed all of my old thermometers thanks to how easy the TemporalScanner is to use.
