% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Now that summer is in full swing and travel plans have been made, there’s one thing no family really plans for….

The “Summer Sickies”. That’s what we call summer illness, at least. 

There’s nothing worse than being off at the beach, amusement park, or even Grandma’s house, and hearing those dreaded words: “Moooom…I feel SICK.” So while we never plan on encountering the Summer Sickies on our adventures, it is something we always try to be prepared for. 

That’s why, in addition to our swimsuits, snacks, and other summer fun must-haves, I also pack some sensible things, like Manuka Honey and Aloe(for burns), Electrolyte drinks, and of course, our Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner™. 

The TemporalScanner™ is the easiest, simplest, least invasive way to get accurate temperature readings, even from the most squirmy, restless kiddos. 

Here are some FAQ about the Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner that will help you learn why this method of temperature-taking isn’t just different, it’s actually BETTER! 

Q: What does the TemporalScanner™ measure?
A: With a gentle stroke of the forehead it captures the naturally emitted heat from the skin over the temporal artery, taking 1,000 readings per second, selecting the most accurate. With its patented Arterial Heat Balance system, the TemporalScanner measures ambient temperatures, mathematically replaces the small temperature loss from cooling at the skin, and displays an accurate arterial temperature.

Q: What is arterial temperature?
A: Arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature.

Q: Why is it more accurate than ear temperature?
A: A major reason ear thermometers are considered inaccurate by medical professionals is because the positioning of the probe in the ear canal is inconsistent, thus creating inconsistent readings and frequently missing fevers. The temporal artery thermometer scans the forehead area for the temporal artery and it is almost impossible to miss the artery during a scan. Furthermore, the TemporalScanner™ has been proven more accurate than ear thermometers by a Harvard Medical School study.

Q: Normally, how does arterial temperature compare to other methods of temperature?
A: Arterial temperature is the same temperature as the blood flowing from the heart. It is the best determinate of body temperature.

The TemporalScanner™ comes 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

Made in the United States, the Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner™ is the number onepreferred thermometer by both nurses and pediatricians, and is backed by more than 70 clinical studies proving its accuracy.

Thankfully, we haven’t been ill yet this season. My house has remained relatively healthy, aside from the occasional “Boredom Bug” that likes to visit mostly during rainy days. 

Still, sick or not, we couldn’t wait to see how our Exergen Smart Glow TemporalScanner works. 

It honestly couldn’t be any simpler, and even my Xander, who is notorious for running from any thermometer, sat still and allowed me to use this. MAJOR brownie points to the folks at Exergen for developing such a non-invasive method of temperature-taking! 

All you do is swipe the unit across the forehead to the temporal artery (AKA temple area). The TemporalScanner then takes multiple readings, and chooses the most accurate to display. 

We have found that not only are our readings consistent and accurate, they also take considerably less time than oral thermometers, hence there’s a lot less squirming, wiggling, and protesting. 

Overall, we absolutely LOVE this product, and take it with us during all of our recent summer adventures. It’s better to be safe than sorry, and since the TemporalScanner is so non-invasive, we’re not ruining anyone’s summer fun by interrupting to take temps. 

This product is ideal not only for parents of babies and small kids, but for anyone who is looking for a simpler, more reliable way to take their temperatures. 

Sold in major retailers including Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Costco, Babies “R” Us, Toys “R” Us, Kroger and BJ’s, the Smart Glow thermometer’s suggested retail price is $49.99.
