The TemporalScanner Thermometer is a really non-invasive system with advanced infrared equipment providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements. Advanced, patented equipment 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.

We’ve had hit and miss experience with the product. When you get it to take the temperature correctly it is a degree or so too low. The other times you have to take the temperature manifold times to get the reading. Maybe with more practice we will get surpass at taking the temperature.

I bought the Exergen based on the rave reviews here. I’ll give the manufacturer the benefit of the skepticism here and suggest that maybe I got a bum unit, but I skepticism it. It seemed to gathering OK, but it didn’t even start to live up to my expectations.
I read the instructions carefully, and even looked up other tips as to how to use it properly on the web. The best readings I got were when I placed it on the forehead over one eye, dragged it slowly over to above the other eye, continuing over and down to the temple, then straight down the side of the face, stopping in front of the ear, with the total process taking maybe 5 seconds. Whatever you do, don’t press the button until the unit is in full skin contact, and you should release the button before removing the unit from skin contact.
That was maybe the 10th process I used and it was the most consistent, maybe +/- 1 degree F or so. Even so, every 3rd reading or so I’d get a +/- 2 F outlier, and so couldn’t really trust it without some statistical evidence, hence the need for 5 or so readings to get any kind of feel for the real temp. Sorry, that’s not excellent enough for me. Excellent try though.
Beyond the tribulations I experience with accuracy, the unit could be improved in other ways. The angle of the head is crazy, and prevents you from ever knowing if it is positioned squarely on the skin. Exergen, please remove the angle from the head! The erratic beeps given off during measurement are confusing, and after using it maybe 300 times I still had no thought what they were trying to tell me – and I’m no technophobe (not by a long shot). Finally, the activation button is too rubbery, and too prone to accidental release, and this combined with the cryptic beeping makes for a very frustrating user experience.
I finished up giving my unit away to a friend who has kids. He’s nearly has his PhD, so maybe he can figure out how to get accurate consequences from it. I’d recommend you avoid this and give the Thermofocus a try. I haven’t really tried that unit, but at least it doesn’t require skin contact, and it’s hard to believe it could be any worse than the Exergen.

We found this to be a fantastic product, it is surpass than a mouth thermometer in our opinion. Simple to use, quick. It would be nice if it beeped louder, but hey, the hearing is going with all else!

I have not been able to measure the temperature with this device. I tried it on myself, my spouse, and my baby. Each time the temperature reading was different and completely off from a normal temperature when all three of us were healthy. I can’t imagine using it when the baby is really sick.

Like this thermometer, is more accurate than our oral digitals (and we have 8 different kinds!) my kids don’t struggle me at all to take their temps any more!
