As some of you know, we've been fighting viral infections, severe colds, bronchitis and the like at our house for the past 3 weeks (I'm sure like a lot of you have!). Darling daughter is pretty good when she's sick, but having to take her temperature can be a struggle. She hates to have it taken orally AND under the arm, and it takes so long for the digital thermometers to get to their final readings! So I've been on the lookout for something better than the standard thermometer! I've tried the strip forehead thermometer's, but my daughter didn't like sitting still for them either!
Last week I had to take daughter to pediatrician's office as her cold just wouldn't go away, no matter what we did and GUESS what they pulled out! Yup, one Exergen Temporal Scanner!
I was so psyched- I told the nurse I had one coming for review and she was like WOW, these are SO great, they switched to them as it was SO much easier to get the kids' temps without a struggle and they were so MUCH more accurate! AND my daughter actually sat STILL for it. It was done and over in 10 SECONDS. Double WOW. Finally I've found something that will help be keep a healthy baby (oops, BIG GIRL as I just got reminded, LOL)
When our review thermometer arrived, darling daughter was over her uck, but grandpa had a healthy dose, so we tested it on him! Yup, worked like a charm, so much easier and QUICKER even for an adult. I like the quickness the best, becasue if you're trying to get a temp in the middle of the night when darlings have woken you up, you aren't always cognizant enough to read a normal thermometer!
Did you know that the BEST place to measure temperature is the center of the heart? I didn't, but as it can only be done only under a doctor's supervision, so that is probably why I didn't know that!
The Exergen Temporal Scanner Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin surface OVER the temporal artery, a major artery of the head. The temporal artery is connected to the heart via the carotid artery, directly leading from the aorta, the main trunk of the arterial system. It offers constant blood flow. It is the only such artery positioned close enough to the skin surface to provide access needed to take an accurate measurement.
As you gently stroke the thermometer across the forehead, crossing over the temporal artery, the sensor in its probe performs two processes:
1. First it scans like a video camera, capturing naturally emitted infrared
heat from the arterial blood supply at about 1000 “frames”
per second, and at the same time, locking in the highest temperature it senses and;
2. A patented system measures the ambient temperature of the site where the temperature is being taken. The patented "arterial heat balance" (AHB) software then synthesizes the two separate readings to accurately determine and display body temperature.
Thus, you get the MOST accurate reading of your child's fever!
The Exergen Temporal Scanner thermometer is priced between $30 and $50 (I saw it at my local Walmart for $39), to me that's worth every penny to get an accurate reading
