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:

softly illuminated display for easy reading in any light-- perfect for
checking the temperature of a sleeping infant in a darkened room

The
Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner is an infrared thermometer which
captures temperature by scanning the heat which is emitted from the
forehead, via the temporal artery.

Costco, Babies “R” Us, Toys “R” Us, Kroger and BJ’s, the Smart Glow
thermometer’s suggested retail price is $49.99.
My Thoughts
As a mom of four children between two and thirteen, I think I've tried every type of thermometer there is. The Temporal Artery Thermometer is by far my top choice, especially when dealing with toddlers. All moms know it's next to impossible to get little ones to sit still long enough for us to hold a thermometer in their mouth or under their arm. I used to use the type that you place in their ear, but I found those were very inaccurate and painful for my son who often had ear infections. One time I almost ran to the emergency room because it told me my child had a 106 fever, but when I tried it again, it was only 99 degrees. Wild results like that were the norm with this type of unit.
The Temporal Thermometer is simple to use and very accurate. You run it quickly along their forehead. There is so discomfort, so there is no squirming. You can even use it while they're sleeping without disturbing them. There are no annoying little plastic covers required and it works just as well on older children and adults as it does on babies. There is a memory feature that allows you to see the last eight readings, so you can compare and see if there is improvement. The temperature is displayed on a large glowing screen that is easy to read, even in the dark. Even my pediatrician uses this thermometer, so I know its the right choice for my family. It provides quick and accurate results every time.
