When my children were younger it was torture to take their temperature almost impossible at times. It was so hard to get them to sit still much less hold a thermometer under their tongues, underarm thermometers weren't any better the only other option at that time was rectally and as you can imagine that wasn't fun for anybody.
About the Temporal Scanner
"The Temporal Scanner 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."
How Does it work?
"As you gently stroke the thermometer across the forehead crossing over the temporal artery, the sensor in its probe performs two processes: |
First it scans like a video camera, capturing naturally emitted infrared heat from the arterial blood supply at about 1000 “frames” per second, locking in the highest temperature it senses and; |
Second, at the same time, 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." |
To use: Simply take off the protective lens cover, place the probe in the center of the forehead flush against the skin, then press the scan button and hold it in as you slide it across the forehead until you have reached the hairline. Release the scan button and check the reading, your done..easy peasy.
I recommend the Exergen Temporal Scanner to everyone, especially those with young children. The price of this thermometer varies between $30-$50 depending on where you purchase, but in my honest opinion it is a great investment that will provide you years of peace of mind.

I love that it's non-invasive. I also think it's affordable. I would have imagined it would cost a lot more. This would be so much better than the ear thermometer we use now. My daughter hates it being stuck in her ear and I'm never sure I'm doing it right. Also, you have to do each ear to make sure you're getting an accurate reading because the wax can interfere with the readings! This thermometer would make taking a temperature a lot easier.

I love the fact that a sick baby can remain sleeping and you can still take his/her temp.
I like that it takes the arterial temperature which is the most accurate.

"Advanced, patented technology measures temperatures with a gentle stroke across the forehead." This is great because you can also take their temperature while they sleep without disturbing them.
I like that I wouldn't have to put it in Tristan's mouth since he is afraid of an oral thermometer.
