Last winter was a very bad winter for my family, it seemed as if one of us was sick every other week. So this winter we were prepared to take on this cold and flu season. We all had our flu vaccine, I have the kids wash their hands ALOT, and I have all our vitamins and probiotics in our system. So far so good…but it’s only December so I worry what the next few months will bring.
The one thing I did not have on hand, and I feel is very important when you have young children, is a great thermometer. I just always used a mouth thermometer and it was NEVER accurate. So when I was offered the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer I was super excited…NOT super excited for if and when the kids got sick…BUT I now have an accurate reading when they do get sick.
Exergen introduces the NEW Smart Glow TemporalScanner Thermometer?, an updated version of the original TemporalScanner, with four ways to make it even easier to take a temperature:
- A softly illuminated display for easy reading in any light — perfect for checking the temperature of a sleeping infant in a darkened room
- Beeping sound indicating scanning can be turned off or on to avoid waking a sleeping child
- Automatically retains the last eight temperature readings for instant recall to check on fever progression
- Ability to switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius modes
I got the chance, unfortunately, to use this right out of the box. My little girl was running a fever. I quickly put the batteries in, and read the instructions.
As pictured above, push the button and move slowly from temple to temple, as you’re still pushing the button. Simple enough, right?
The reading displays right away and is lit up and bright, so if you need to take a temperature in the dark while in bed, you can!
The Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner works by having an infrared thermometer which takes temperature by scanning the heat which is emitted from the forehead, via the temporal artery.
This has been a lifesaver, and I have no need to worry about the family’s’ temperatures anymore.
If you’re in need of a great thermometer, then toss your old out and purchase this today!
