My son has never been seriously ill, which I am grateful for. There have been a few times, however, when he's caught whatever bug that's been going around and has felt hot and feverish. The thermometer I had did not provide much help in recording his temperature. He's extremely squirmy, so trying to hold it under his arm or his tongue was out of the question. And taking a rectal temperature...well, I don't even want to go there. So basically, I was left just assuming that yes, he had a fever but hopefully it wasn't that bad. Not too comforting, if you ask me.Family Review Network brought my attention to the Exergen TemporalScanner. This is an infrared thermometer designed to measure body temperature by taking a reading from the temporal artery. The infrared sensor registers body temperature to within +0.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Sliding the thermometer straight across the forehead results in a highly accurate reading within two seconds.
I tested this out on my son, the wiggle worm. I simply pressed the "scan" button, slid the thermometer across his forehead and a beep two seconds later indicated that I was done. He squirmed of course, but by the time he wiggled free I already had the reading (which was normal, thank goodness). I really appreciate how simple, gentle, and non invasive the Exergen TemporalScanner is. I feel safe knowing that I have a reliable way of recording body temperature in my possession, that works on adults as well as children. You can read more about this thermometer and where to buy it here.

I like that the Exergen temporalscanner is NON-invasive and fast!
Awesome! I've always wanted one but never could justify the money.
ReplyDeleteI love that it's not invasive and has accurate readings. This would be great to use on my two kids.
ReplyDeletesamsakara@twcny.rr.com
I've been wanting one of these because the oral ones are so annoying (and bad for the environment).
ReplyDeletemeredycat*lycos*com
This is such a good idea. I'm a student nurse who just completed peds clinicals and wow, getting some kids temps is such a tricky issue. You'd think an oral thermometer was a hot poker, and, well, we just won't even get into the OTHER options for taking temp...
ReplyDeletelove that adults and children can use, and that its simple and easy to use
ReplyDeleteThis would make taking my little one's temperature so much easier. No more wriggling away.
ReplyDeleteGreat item make for easy check of temp. Good for when they are sleeping and you do not want to wake them up.
ReplyDeletePerfect thermometer! I have an ear thermometer but I'm never too sure of its reading because each ear will be something different. Thanks for the chance to win this one :)
ReplyDeletewhen my son had rsv this would have come in so handy, he had his temp taken every hour and he hated it!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
They used one of these on my daughter at the hospital recently, and I couldn't believe how fast and easy it was! I'd love to have one at home.
ReplyDeleteI don't even ahve a thermometer. This seems the best one to get!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful item. When a child is unwell and usually cranky, you can take their temperature without a battle, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteMy children are grown and gone but I remember when they were sick and taking their temperature was tricky - the kids certainly didn't cooperate. Here you don't need their cooperation and in a wink, it's done! Would love to have one for when the grandkids are here.

I like the fact that you don't have to wake your child up from a sound sleep to take his temp, just place it on his forehead.

ReplyDeleteMy son gets febrile seizures from his temperature rising high very fast. While at the hospital with him during one the last episodes the nurse used this temporal scanner; we talked about the ease of use and fast reading for the nurses and also the children. The nurse nor myself was not aware that is was on the market for home use. I am excited about this product for parents with sick children. tasardina@yahoo.com

ReplyDeleteI have teens and older children with grandchildren. My daughter in law is a first time mother and the first month of my grandsons life she took his temp daily. She carries a thermometer in her purse.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter who is 17 wants to be a pediatric surgeon and says they learned in her medical skills class that they no longer use rectal or mouth for temps in most medical facilities. So with my grandsons visiting this would be so nice to have at home even my husband could actually read it correctly.
