Professional Technology For Parents...patented Arterial Heat Balance provides the breakthrough:
Gentle stroke of forehead captures naturally emitted heat from skin over temporal artery .
Red LED lights and soft beep indicate correct scan.
Takes 1,000 readings per second, selecting the most accurate.
Arterial Heat Balance computes the correct temperature.
Why the Temporal Artery?
Directly connected to the heart via the carotid artery.
Has the constant blood flow needed for accurate measurement.
Safest, most convenient, and comfortable place to measure temperature.
"We measured the temperature with each of these two thermometers on children and compared the reading to the rectal temperature, which is generally considered the standard. Essentially we found that by every measure that we used, the temporal artery thermometer was more accurate than the tympanic." ~ David Greenes, M.D., Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School: National Public Radio interview
"...may even prove to be better than taking rectal temperature." ~ Shari Roan, LA Times
"The TemporalScanner is the magic wand you've been waiting for ~ Working Mother, Feb 2002

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'll have to admit, I'm not sure what some of these other reviewers are talking about regarding the need to constantly keep the thermometer against the forehead in order to get an accurate reading. You can pull it away from the forehead and still get an accurate reading. In fact, if your house is relatively the same temperature from one room to the next, or from the kids' bedroom to the hallway, you can push and hold the button, take the temperature, wave it in the air, walk to another room, release the button then, and it'll give you the same accurate temperature. (I just did this, and it was just as accurate as following the other reviewers' instructions--touch it to your forehead, push button, scan, release button, and only THEN release it from your forehead.)
So all those complaints about it not having a backlight? Just keep the button held and walk out into the lighted hallway.
I do agree that if you take the temperature a couple times they may differ, especially if you weren't doing it very well, sometimes more than a degree. But I found that once I got better at the method all my temperature readings will be within a degree, and, even if they aren't, just understand that the highest temperature will be the most accurate. (The few exceptions to this, such as if the head was covered by clothing, are written in the instruction booklet.)
The good news--and the reason it's so easy to get an accurate temperature--is that you can leave the button depressed for as long as you need to. A squirming kid? Just keep that button depressed and even if it takes you a good five minutes of trying to run it across their forehead, you'll get your accurate temperature. I have a feeling that most of the people not getting good readings are just barely touching it to their kids' skin. Either that or maybe they did happen to get a "lemon."
It takes about a thousand readings per second, and when you let go of the button it'll show you the highest. While the button is depressed, it will do these cute quick beeps every time it finds a higher reading.
If you're new to the thermometer, I highly recommend taking the temperature at least three times and comparing--then go with the highest as the most accurate. We did this one day when our daughter was 104. She was young enough at the time and it was during the night so we took her in to the ER. Guess what? The ER measured her temperature at EXACTLY, to the TENTH OF THE DEGREE, the highest temperature my thermometer had read.
This thermometer is the easiest, most non-invasive, fabulous thermometer I have ever seen, and I have tried all others except the rectal -- and the rectal definitely fails in the non-invasive category. I can use this temporal thermometer on my newborn with just as good accuracy as on myself. I can use it on her while she's sleeping and she doesn't wake up. (She usually stirs, which involves moving her head around, so that makes it a bit more difficult, but again, I just keep the button depressed and keep scanning.)
This is my FAVORITE thing to get people for baby showers. It's less common than the normal baby clothes and bedding gifts, and it's something parents don't always think about when preparing for their little ones' arrival. And it's in a price range that makes it something that they might not have bought for themselves, and hence, it's usually very appreciated.
My only word of caution: My infant got a hold of it one day, and I'm not sure what she did (although I'm positive she had the thing in her mouth and slobbered everywhere all over it), but the temperature no longer worked right. It continually measured 3 degrees less than what it had been measuring, so for example, I measured at 95.6, hee hee. So, don't let your kid slobber on it. I ended up throwing it away and went to the store to get a new one....
Also I learned that you need to pressure the bottom as you put the sensor on their forehead otherwise it pulls up a lot of stored precious temperatures and doesn’t take a reading.
Pros: speed, precision, accuracy, cost, quiet, easy to use, reliable
Cons: may need to take recital temperature for newborns, readings seem to run slightly low
When you turn on the unit a short press will open the unit in programming mode you will need to wait for the unit to turns of automatically after 30 seconds or press and hold the button to turn it off before you can take a temperature (this will also change the F-C setting and the Audible beeper setting so it is better to do it in one of the memory settings). Once the unit is off, press and hold the button until you hear triple beeps and see the red light flash. The unit will have started in scan mode. One short press of the button will turn it off or wait 30 seconds for auto off.
So there it is - quite simple really - but not necessarily intuitive so mentioning this somewhere, anywhere, in the instructions might have been nice.
As mentioned in other reviews the battery cover is difficult to get off. The instructions are okay for this it is just awkward and requires more force than you expect.
Neither of these issues are deal breakers but I dropped my rating to 4 starts because a user shouldn’t have to figure out how to use the product themselves - this is what instructions are for.

Ich hab dann nach der "Home-Version" gesucht und das C2000 von Exergen gefunden. Das Gerät funktioniert tatsächlich sehr einfach und wie in der Serie auch berührungslos. Der Vorteil ist ganz klar, das man dieses Thermometer in keine Körperöffnung stecken muss um einen genauen Messwert zu erhalten. Optische Temerathurmessverfahren gibt es schon sehr lange und Geräte dafür kann man hier bei Amazon für wenige Euro schon bekommen. Bei diesen mangelt es aber oft an der messgenauigkeit die schon mal +- 5Grad sein kann. Trotzdem war klar, dass ein optisches Gerät zur Körperthemperaturmessung nicht lange auf sich warten lassen sollte und hier ist es.
Das Gerät benötigt einen 9 Volt Block für den Betrieb. Eine Duracell war bei mir im Liefeumfang dabei. Es verfügt über einen Knopf, ein gelb beleuchtetes LCD-Display und zwei rote LED (Vorne und Hinten je eine). Es speichet die letzten 10 Messwerte automatisch. Die Anleitung ist auch auf Deutsch aber leider nicht sehr gut geschrieben was schon an den Englischen Vorlage liegt. Ich hab doch etwas gebraucht, bis ich eine Messung auslösen konnte.
Über einen kuzen druck auf den Knopf blättert man durch die Messwerte.
Eine Messung startet man in dem man vom ausgeschalteten Gerät aus den Knopf drückt und gedrückt hält! Während man also den Knopf gedrückt hält soll man über die Stirn von der Mitte zum Haaransatz ziehen. Auf dem Weg liegt eine große Arterie von der die meiste Wäme abgestrahlt wird.
Das funktioniert am einfachsten wenn man den Messkopf beim Messen über die Haut gleiten lässt. Dabei gibt das Gerär immer einen Pipton ab wenn es einen neuen unterschiedlichen Messwert erfasst hat. Das Piepen lässt sich aber auch ausschalten. Die Messung funktioniert aber auch wenn man den Messkopf einige Millimeter über der Haut vobei zieht. Je mehr man sich dann von der Haut entfernt desto geringer wird die angezeigte Temperatur. Etwa 1 cm über der Haut ist der Messwert etwa 0,2 Grad geringer was ich immer noch sehr gut finde.
Fazit:
Alles in allem das beste Thermometer zur Körperthemperaturmessung das ich je hatte.
Positiv:
Einfache Handhabung die keine Körperöffnung benötigt.
Auch berührungslos einsetzbar
Sehr genaue Messergebnisse
Kontinuierliches Speichern der letzten 10 Messungen
Negativ:
Hoher Preis (30,73€)
9V Blockbatterie
Das Thermometer löst alle Probleme die die bisherigen Thermometer so hatten. Man kann damit auch eine zu pflegende Person im Schlaf messen ohne sie wecken zu müssen was Eltern sicherlich begeistet.
