5.0 out of 5 stars ER nurse who loves temporal artery thermometers!!! September 5, 2010
By Sylver
I'm an ER nurse and we use Exergen's temporal artery thermometers in our ER. They are much more accurate than underarm or in the ear, although the gold standard is a rectal temperature, which can be upsetting to children.
I actually wrote my Master's research paper on these thermometers, and here are a few tips in order to use them accurately:
1. run the thermometer from forehead (above the eye) all the way into the hairline. DO NOT LIFT the thermometer at all!!!
2. repeat this 2 more times
3. take the HIGHEST of the 3 readings. It is always important to take the HIGHEST as it is most accurate. There is a chance it didn't read right on the artery so it wouldn't be as high, which is why it is best to do 3 readings.
4. clean the head of the thermometer with a Q-tip and some alcohol occasionally to help it read accurately.
5. If your child is sweaty, the sweat dries off quickly and cools their skin temperature, so it isn't as accurate! In this case, it is better to run the thermometer over their carotid artery on their neck- off to the side of the voicebox. Run the thermometer side to side, and not up and down.
If you follow all of these steps, this thermometer is quick, easy and very accurate. I highly recommend it over any other form of temperature taking for young children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good option for easy temp-taking January 24, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I wanted to try this becauce it is what they use at the doctor's office and it seems so easy and accurate. Aside from the fact that all of the other options just do not make sense--I don't want to use a rectal therm for my toddler, he will not tolerate a therm in the mouth or under the arm, and the ear therms don't seem accurate.
This is insanely easy to use. There is just one button! I tend to take two readings to assure an accurate reading, and my only gripe is that there is no "reset" button to use between readings. The only option is to turn it off and then on again, which I worry is depleting the battery, but it's not a huge deal. I also like the idea of the antimicrobial head so that I don't have to clean it with alcohol. Overall, the best option I have found for a squirmy toddler, as well as the whole family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, accurate - good investment! December 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
This has been a fabulous product. I guess it is that time of year, but our kids have been sick a lot and we've had the chance to use it several times already. It is soooo much easier to use than any of the other types of thermometers! The kids don't kick and scream, in fact, they think it is kind of a fun way to check their temperature. It only takes about 3 seconds to read someone's temperature. It seems to be very accurate (based on the fact that it reads very close to 98.6 degrees when someone doesn't have a fever).

The unit looks and feels like it is well-made. I consider it one of the best investments we have ever made and I would definitely buy it again if I had it to do all over.
