Exergen TemporalScanner: For my piece of mind

Posted by Amy on September 19, 2008

exergen-temporalscanner Exergen TemporalScanner: For my piece of mind

*Update: Congratulations to Shannon, our winner!

As a parent of a young child, I know how important it is to watch for a rising temperature.  When my daughter was just about 5 months old, she became very ill with Rotavirus (severe flu-like symptoms and diarrhea).  We were taking her temperature every half hour to forty-five minutes.  Believe me, when you have a very sick child, like she was, inserting a rectal thermometer into her very tiny and sore little bottom was no picnic.  I wish I would have had a thermometer like this two and a half years ago.

Now with the Exergen TemporalScanner, it’s so easy to check her temperature with just a swipe of her forehead.  Of course I was skeptical at first but in time, found out first-hand that it does work, as we have used it a number of times.  Here is some more information on the scanner:

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.

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.

*The above three paragraphs were taken from the Exergen website.

Anyone with a young child knows how hard it is to get them to agree to have their temperature taken or to take medicine, for that matter.  My husband and I sat down with our little girl and we each used the TemporalScanner on each other, so she could see how easy, quick and painless it was.  Now, she ocassionally asks for us to take her temperature.  :)   I like products that make this job easier!

We’re giving away one EXERGEN TemporalScanner to a ParentSphere reader.  To enter, leave a comment on this post (comment section below) and let us know if you have ever used or seen one of these scanners in use before and what were your inital thoughts on the thermometer?  If you haven’t, that’s ok, you may still enter.  Winner will be chosen randomly.  Last day to enter giveaway is Friday, September 26th.  The winner will be notified via email the morning of the 27th (check your spam folder!) and we will update this post after the winner has been chosen.

    By Robert on Sep 20, 2008

  28. I have never used this but would love to win it

    By pat on Sep 20, 2008

  29. This looks amazing! I’m never comfortable with the “old fashioned” thermometers. My children hate the ear thermometers as they always assume it will hurt as a result of times where they have had to be examined due to an ear infection — so it did hurt! This seems the perfact solution!

    By AB on Sep 20, 2008

  30. I’ve seen it at the Dr.s office, would love to have one for the kids.

    By steve singer on Sep 20, 2008

  31. never seen one - if it works, it will be really good

    By Nat Stevens on Sep 20, 2008

  32. This would be so much nicer than my old rectal thermometer! Thanks

    By randi on Sep 20, 2008

  33. I have never seen or used one of these, but I’ve heard alot about them. I would love to have one, as it’s impossible for me to get any kind of acurate reading when my boys cry and whine the whole time I’m taking their temps.

    By kathy Weber on Sep 20, 2008

  34. i think i did see it at the hospital it was quick and easy

    By david basile on Sep 20, 2008

  35. I think these scanner thermometers are great for use with children- accuracy and less discomfort! Great!

    By Elaine R on Sep 20, 2008

  36. No, i have never seen one. But i’d like to.!!

    By rebecca snodgrass on Sep 20, 2008

  37. These are wonderful and accurate. Iam a nurse and use them at work - great for kids - they just think you are tickling them!!

    By Suzanne LeFrancois on Sep 20, 2008

  38. Have never used one myself (my children were young WAY before these arrived) but would like to be able to give this to my granddaughter for her coming baby.

    By Carol G on Sep 20, 2008

  39. seen but never used

    By Mike Weisberg on Sep 20, 2008

  40. No I haven’t seen this type of thermometer.
    Over the last few years, taking a temp has come a long way
    from using a rectal thermometer. I remember when my son was a baby, (over 30 years ago) I just hated the thought of having to use a rectal thermometer, thats all there was back then.
    Thank goodness for technology.

    By Judy G. on Sep 20, 2008

  41. I have never used or seen one before. I would love to use this on my two kids. looks like it would be much easier to use then the other products I have seen.

    By Shilo Beedy on Sep 20, 2008

  42. I have never seen one of these scanners before but it looks great.

    By James Jenkins on Sep 20, 2008

  43. A nurse checked my temp with one and I think it is a great way to go.

    By Ernest Condon on Sep 20, 2008

  44. I have never seen one, but would love to have one for my granddaughter who recently had a febrile seizure. Scary!

    By Susan C on Sep 20, 2008

  45. I have never even seen one of these. I’d love to have one though:)

    By denyse on Sep 20, 2008

  46. Have never used one but have been looking for an easier way to check DS and DD temp… We have to take temps here a lot for medical reason and oooooo it is a fight.. Thanks for the chance to win one

    By Kate on Sep 20, 2008

  56. Have never seen or used one of these before. Would sure like to try one.

    By M.A. on Sep 20, 2008

    By Becky Mize on Sep 20, 2008

    By Denise F on Sep 20, 2008

  66. I saw this advertised somewhere. This would even be alot easier than the ear scanner.

    By Denise B. on Sep 20, 2008

  67. Looks like a great gadget.

    By Louise A Brouillette on Sep 20, 2008

  70. I have never seen this used, but I would like to have one.

    By David Brewster on Sep 20, 2008

  71. We have used an ear thermometer ever since we had our daughter. However, I have seen the temporal ones and wondered about them (They seem so much easier !) I have just never had the opportunity to use one. I would love to try it!

    By ANGELA SWINSON on Sep 20, 2008

  72. i’ve never seen it, but it looks really useful. Count me in!

    By cynthia mccoy on Sep 20, 2008

  73. My son’s pediatric office uses this type of thermometer. I’ve always wanted one figuring it must be accurate if the ped’s office uses one. So yes, I would love to win one!

    By Sue on Sep 20, 2008

    By Roxanne on Sep 20, 2008

  76. I’ve only seen these at my pediatrician’s office, but it’s sooo fast and fantastic! I’d love to have one at home. When the kids are sick this would make taking their temperature a much more fun activity. Thanks for a great contest!

    By Elena on Sep 20, 2008

  79. They’re used at the hospital here. Very cool!

    By Rita S on Sep 20, 2008

  80. Good use for high tech

    By Debby on Sep 20, 2008

  81. as a nurse, i’ve used in the hosp…very fast, nice for pt.

    By Michelle on Sep 20, 2008

  82. First time seeing it. But it would sure come in handy at home. Enter me,Please.

    By Cristy on Sep 20, 2008

  83. Initially I thought that these scanner would be very unreliable and not accurate at all. However, from working in a personal care home for awhile, I got a chance to use them. They are so easy to use and actually are very accurate. I’d love to own one of these for my home. Thanks for the chance.

    By Ilissa H. on Sep 21, 2008

  84. I have never seen one before but it looks convenient.

    By David on Sep 21, 2008

    By ky2here on Sep 22, 2008

  95. I would love this. I would give it to my daughter as she needs something like it for my granddaughter. Never used one before.

    By brandy w on Sep 22, 2008

    By margelina on Sep 22, 2008

  103. never seen one before. never even knew they existed! i was skeptical of their accuracy until i read your post. thanks for sharing!

    By kristie on Sep 22, 2008

  104. We’ve never tried one of these before, but would love to win it. Thanks!

    By Nadia on Sep 22, 2008

  105. We needed this Yesterday!! thanks for the great giveaway!

    By sharon johnson on Sep 22, 2008

  106. I’ve never seen on of these, and haven’t had to use the rectal thermometer yet, but saw the nurse use it in the NICU and am hoping I don’t have to go through it myself.

    By Nick on Sep 22, 2008

  107. My thermometer is about 50 years old. It would be great to catch up with the times!

    By sandi smith on Sep 22, 2008

  108. i need a thermometer for the baby!

    By brandy on Sep 22, 2008

  109. I have seen these advertised and always wondered if they worked. We are expecting our first little one in the next few months and this would be wonderful to own.

    By MF on Sep 22, 2008

  110. I think I’ve seen one of these (or one very similar) at my pediatrician. Very nice and definitely a lot easier then the rectal one. Thanks for the great giveaway! With 3 kids, I can definitely use one of these.

    By Ann on Sep 22, 2008

  111. Never owned one but looked at them seriously because of their accuracy

    By Jacob LaFountaine on Sep 22, 2008

  112. I’m pretty sure this is the type of thermometer they use at our pediatrician’s office — I’d have been skeptical, except I trust the doctor! It looks great.

    By Lo on Sep 22, 2008

  113. This is a new product to me but would be wonderful to have. I bet they work great. Thank you!

    By Kristi on Sep 22, 2008

  114. I have never seen this product used but would love to give it a try. I’m sure my daughter would like this way better than rectally. Thanks.

    By Jessica on Sep 22, 2008

  115. This would be really useful!

    By Go Amie on Sep 22, 2008

  116. I registered for this but didnt get it. We got a cheap one, but I wish we would have got this one.

    By Stacy on Sep 22, 2008

  117. Never used on, but i’ve heard great things!

    By Marcy on Sep 22, 2008

  118. I actually just had one used on me at the doctor’s office. If they think it is reliable enough then so do I :)

    By Christian Kay on Sep 22, 2008

  119. Hello, For years, I have searched for a thermometer that I could truly trust! From the old-fashioned mercury ones to various newly invented ones! I think our doctor’s office uses this temporal kind! Please enter me in your wonderful giveaway drawing. I really appreciate it! Thanks, Cindi

    By Cindi on Sep 22, 2008

  120. They used one of these at our doctor’s office. It seems so much easier to use than our standard thermometer.

    By Angela K on Sep 22, 2008

  121. I’ve never seen one in use before. They look so much better than trying to get a kid to hold their arm still or not to bite on the thermometer.

    By lace on Sep 22, 2008

  122. I heard a commercial for this type of thermometer. I always worry about the accuracy.

    By dewey1973 on Sep 22, 2008

  123. This is exactly the one I already use, i’d love to get it for my sister who is due with her first baby in January!

    By kari f on Sep 23, 2008

  124. I have never used this but I sure do wish this was around when I was a kid!

    By sarah on Sep 23, 2008

  125. I have never seen these or used them. With 3 kids I could use it though!

    By Betsy on Sep 23, 2008

  126. i have used these when I babysat a couple of years ago. I only have a rectal and pacifier thermoter for my son but he is starting to wiggle too much to use them, this would be great!

    By sarah b on Sep 23, 2008

  127. In my day…well…I don’t wantto talk about where they put the thermometer. This seems better

    By TOM ROBBINS on Sep 23, 2008

  128. never used, but looks great

    By adrienne gordon on Sep 23, 2008

  129. I’ve never used or seen one used before but would and could definitely use one as I am always dealling with bouts of colds from one kid or the other…always, and don’t own a thermometor…Please count me in!!!

    By Barbara Baker on Sep 23, 2008

  130. I’ve never seen or used one of these thermometers but I think they sound great, I would love one for my daughters! So easy!

    By Xenia on Sep 23, 2008

  131. I saw these thermometers a few months back and thought it was such a great idea!

    By Chantelle on Sep 23, 2008

  132. I would really love to have one of these. I’ve never actually seen one used, but I hate, hate, hate taking kids’ temps, and it seems like this would make it a lot easier. Thanks!

    By LisaW on Sep 23, 2008

  133. I have never used one of these, but it looks very convenient and I would love to try it!

    By Melissa on Sep 23, 2008

  134. Would like to give this to my son for my grand daughter

    By Cindy on Sep 23, 2008

  135. I have never seen one like this before, just the one that goes into the ear and of course the old fashion one. This one looks GREAT for kids! My son HATES when we check his tempature because he doesn’t want the thing to go into his ear. This one would be great because he wouldn’t have to worry about it.

    Thank you for telling us about this product and for the great giveaway!

    By Kimberly on Sep 23, 2008

  136. Would absolutely love to have a temporal scanner at home. We use them at work and they are so awesome!

    By Tracey on Sep 23, 2008

  137. I don’t have anything but a butt thermometer for my son and he hates it! :) could certainly use this!!!

    thewehrungs@yahoo.com

    By kathrine w on Sep 23, 2008

  138. I would love to have this. Using the ear thermometer doesn’t work, you get a different temperature every time you try. And I haven’t been able to get myself to use the rectal thermometer we bought either. This would be perfect!

    By Molly B. on Sep 23, 2008

  139. My children’s pediatrician uses this. It is very cool.

    By Amy W on Sep 23, 2008

  140. I have never seen one before but have been considering getting one to make it easier to take my daughter’s temp.

    By Kristy on Sep 23, 2008

  141. I’ve never used them before, but I’ve been thinking of getting one for baby #2. I get so sick of checking temps in the ear - having it not be accurate and then having to do it 5 times and take an average.

    This would be so much easier!

    By lindsey on Sep 23, 2008

  142. I’ve never used nor seen one of these in action. Count me in for the giveaway as it looks like it work much better than the tympanic thermometers.

    By April on Sep 23, 2008

  143. This is so great! I would love it since my hubby and I will be starting our family soon!

    By Melissa on Sep 23, 2008

  144. I did see one before, and it looked like a magic wand. But if it works, it would be a HUGE help with an infant!

    By Claire on Sep 23, 2008

  145. What a great thing this would be to have at home. Thanks for a terrific giveway.

  146. I would love to have this. Hope I win.

    By Darline Stoddard on Sep 23, 2008

  147. I’ve never seen one of these before. Wow, technology is so cool!

    By Elizabeth M. on Sep 23, 2008

  148. I’ve never seen one of these before. My initial reaction is if it works it sure would be easier than taking a rectal temp!

    By renee on Sep 23, 2008

  149. I have never seen one, but it seems great. It’s so hard to get a sick kid to agree to either a rectal or oral thermometer.

    By Jennifer M on Sep 23, 2008

  150. I’ve never seen anything like this - it sounds so so much easier than a typical thermometer though. Thanks for introducing it to me!

    By Alice Hansen on Sep 23, 2008

  151. I have never seen one of these before. I think it’s great. Not even my doctor uses this. Would love to win.

  152. Both of my boys have had febrile seizures, so getting a quick and accurate temperature reading is crucial. This would be a wonderful item for our house since I know they work well. My son was in the hospital for 4 days in February after he stopped breathing and they used it constantly to check his fever status. Thanks for the great giveaway!

    By TheAngelForever on Sep 23, 2008

  153. I would really love to give this a try

    By Laura G on Sep 23, 2008

  154. This is a great product. I never seen anything like it in use before. Thanks for the giveaway.

    By Mary A on Sep 23, 2008

  155. I’ve heard about thermometers like that but I’ve never used one.

    By sarah on Sep 23, 2008

  156. The hospital used this type of thermometer when I had my daughter a year ago. So cool!! I was so impressed, and it was great because they didn’t have to wake me up to take my temp!!

    Awesome giveaway!!

    By lacey on Sep 23, 2008

  158. I have never used one nor seen one in use but I have read about them. I think it is a great product that is easy to use for both the parent and child. It takes away the fight of getting a temperature. m_huston(at)hotmail(dot)com

    By Marlena U. on Sep 23, 2008

  159. I’ve never used one like this before but it sure would be nice to have one that can give me an accurate reading.
    Thanks so much for the nice giveaway.

    By Susan Ledet on Sep 23, 2008

  160. i havent seen or used one. i have heard a bit about them and they seem really interesting.

    By erica s on Sep 23, 2008

  161. I have never seen or heard about these thermometers. However, I think that it is an awesome idea, and I would love to try it out.

    By Jodi on Sep 23, 2008

  162. I have never even seen this kind of thermometer before!
    Very cool. I’d love to try it out when my son is sick.

    By Shannon on Sep 23, 2008

  163. Wonderful, needed product! I’ve never seen these before.

    By Sheila on Sep 23, 2008

  164. I haven’t ever seen one like this that is just on the forehead. Many years ago we had gone through a couple of the in the ear type, but we found that you had to get them aimed in the ear canal just the right way for them to be accurate. With a wiggly baby or toddler that isn’t always an easy thing to do. This seems like it would be much easier to use and more accurate.

    Thanks!

  165. I’ve seen a thermometer like this one used at my doctor’s office and it looked great. I would love to have this one — unfortunately my kids are prone to ear infections so we take their temperatures a lot!

    By Katie on Sep 23, 2008

  166. I love these thermometers! My daughter hates having her temperature taken but she saw one of these at my doctor’s office and was thrilled by it

    Thanks for an awesome giveaway!!

    By Dianne on Sep 23, 2008

  167. I’ve only seen these at the doctor’s office but they seem quick and accurate.

    By Jennifer I. on Sep 23, 2008

  168. My daughter needs this with her 2 young boys,thanks so much

    By Vickie Couturier on Sep 23, 2008

  169. I’d love to have one of these for my gdrandaughter she’s 2 and hard to get her temp. this is great.

    By michelle maddock on Sep 23, 2008

  170. I worked at a hospital and when I first saw it used, I thought, Uh what in the world is that thing! It was amazing to see how unintrusive it was and how easy it was to use! I have been wanting one for use at home.

    By Leni on Sep 23, 2008

  171. This would be so great to have!

    By Opera Mommy on Sep 23, 2008

  172. I haven’t seen one of these in use, but I imagine it would be great. Anything less intrusive would be appreciated by my son, I’m sure.

    By winvin on Sep 23, 2008

  173. I’ve seen them used at Whole Foods,walk in coolers,freezers etc.to check the temp. of products.

    By Alan Huestis on Sep 23, 2008

  174. I have seen them in use in the children’s hospital that my daughter was in when she had her open heart surgery. I really wanted one them because it is much easier than trying to take it under her arm! I refuse to take her temperature rectally it freaks me out!

    By Rebecca C on Sep 23, 2008

  175. These things are phenomenal. Have my temp taken, orally, on a regular basis and would really prefer to have one of these used each time.

    By Doug on Sep 24, 2008

  176. I have never seen one of these before. After reading about it, I think every home should have one. When you are sick you don’t want to be bothered and this is a quick way to check temp. without a fuss.

    By Stacy on Sep 24, 2008

  177. I’ve never seen these in use, but when we were at Babies R Us, my husband insisted we added it to our baby registry! To win it would be even more fun :)

    By saraG on Sep 24, 2008

  178. I vaguely remember having seen one of these, and I’d love to have one. Our ear one doesn’t work because Suzi jerks her head away, and I just refuse to use the rectal one.

    By Amy on Sep 24, 2008

  181. have never seen them

    By Jennifer Hedden on Sep 24, 2008

  182. There’s always a need for something as this in the family!.

    By Melinda Smith on Sep 24, 2008

  183. I’ve never used one, but it looks quick and easy (and mommy-proof, LOL!) Thanks for entering me.

    By Anne on Sep 24, 2008

  184. I haven’t used it, but it looks cool

    By Dan on Sep 24, 2008

  185. My daughter was put in the hospital with Pneumonia. They used them. I thought they were very neat!

    By Monique Rizzo on Sep 24, 2008

  186. I have heard of these and would love to have one for my family. It’s SO hard for a young child who is ill deal with other types of thermometers. My son is prone to ear infections and doesn’t tolerate the ear or oral versions very well.

    By Valerie C. on Sep 24, 2008

  187. I haven’t used one before, but I would love to try it.

    By Chrysa on Sep 24, 2008

  188. I haven’t seen one before. I did hear of them recently. My first thought was how much easier it would be to use. It’s hard to take my son’s temp.

    By Paula H on Sep 24, 2008

  189. I saw one at the doctors, and I think it is fantastic!

    By carol lewis on Sep 24, 2008

  190. I’ve never seen one of these in use before, though I have seen one. It appears this gadget would wipe out the trauma effect of stardard methods.

    By Liz Sawyer on Sep 24, 2008

  191. I would love to have this for my grandchildren.
    Thanks for this excellent contest and prize!

    By Clifton Wade on Sep 24, 2008

  192. Very nice. Beats the old fashioned ones

    By R Hicks on Sep 24, 2008

  193. I haven’t used a thermometer like this before but I can imagine how much easier it is to use than traditional ones!

    Our son had a mild fever a few days ago and taking his temp was a PAIN! Our thermometer is TERRIBLE. It’s one of those that come in the American Red cross safety kits. It’s super slow and jumps all over the place! HELP!

    By Sheena @ Mommy Daddy Blog on Sep 24, 2008

  194. I had my temperature taken with one of these and thougt it was a great thing to have at home.

    By phil stacy on Sep 24, 2008

  195. I haven’t ever used one, but I would like to try it.

    By Donna K on Sep 25, 2008

  196. I have seen this type of thermometer in the stores but have never used one. I certainly would like the chance to use one.

    By Christie on Sep 25, 2008

  197. I love the look of this thermometer. We have the kind that goes into the ear canal but it is hard to get a good reading especially on a baby. The Temporal Scanner looks so easy to use and would come in very handy for the whole family.

    By Erin on Sep 25, 2008

  198. I have never used one but our Ped. office uses one. We have an old ear one and it is probably long overdue for replacing.

    By Jennifer C. on Sep 25, 2008

  199. We use them all the time at the hospital. Very useful!

    By Paula S. on Sep 25, 2008

  200. I’ve never used one of these, but it looks like it would be very helpful and easy to use.

    By Michael Capp on Sep 25, 2008

  201. I’ve never used one before, but I had a friend who had one and thought wow that is neat-o…just never seemed to see them in the store when I needed a new thermometer

    By Becky on Sep 25, 2008

  202. I’ve never used one but this would be a wonderful improvement for us!

    By Lori on Sep 25, 2008

  203. I have never seen these, but I’d sure like to try it, I’ve got four patients to use it on.

    By P. Harmon on Sep 25, 2008

  204. Thank you so much for this giveaway.

    By hazel hunt on Sep 25, 2008

  205. I saw one used when I had my surgery (they used it on me). It seems really easy to use.

    By Jeanne B-W on Sep 25, 2008

  206. I have neither used nor seen one of these scanner thermometers, but it seems like it is easy and accurate.

    By Cassandra on Sep 25, 2008

  207. I’ve never seen one of these used but it sounds like a wonderful idea. An easy way to get an accurate read without creating further agitation for the patient!

    By Tobster on Sep 25, 2008

  208. My doctors office has one of these and I have been so thankful. We received an ear thermometer and my kids hate it!! These are so easy and he let’s the nurse use it on him. That is worth its weight in gold.

    Great giveaway - thank you!!

    By Valeen Nielson on Sep 25, 2008

  212. never seen one, would love to own one!

    By Ron Miller on Sep 25, 2008

  213. I’d love to try this thermometer for my kids

    By Matt Chapman on Sep 25, 2008

  214. I have a 4 month old daughter and 2 other young children. This EXERGEN TemporalScanner Thermometer would be a life saver (possibly literally) for us! You are so right in that no child wants to have their temperature taken rectally, and this product takes the fear right out of having to take your child’s temperature. I would love to have this in our home.
