Christina says:
I’ve been very interested in these thermometers because it always seems like my little ones won’t sit still enough for under the arm, and the ear ones are never accurate.
I like that Exergen is offering something that seems easy to use… and their FAQ page has good info for making sure you’re using the thermometer correctly. I also like that there is a rebate available.
Thanks for the great giveaway. I subscribed to the newsletter!

I’m pretty impressed with all the information they offer on their site - explanations of how the products work for “normal” people and medical people, educational videos, product manuals. It makes it alot easier (especially if you lose your manual LOL).
I’m liking the rebate too!

I’m a subscriber. I love that they have products for medical professionals as well as for the everyday consumer - it makes me have more faith in the product to think that a doctor may just be using a high-end model of the same thermometer I’m using at home.

I have been eye-ballin’ this thermometer for awhile now. It looks so cool!
The one thing I like about the company, other than that it is based in American, is that their FAQs about the thermometer, especially where it talks about concerns over things that can affect the temperature reading like the air tempurature. It sounds like a real high-tech way to take tempuratures.
Thanks for the cool giveaway!

Happy Friday! I think they are a company before their time. In 1980, they invented
the exergram-first quanitative heart loss camera system for energy conservation!
Please enter me in your terrific prize giveaway drawing. I have yet to find a thermometer that truly works very accurately! Even the mercury ones are not that temperature accurate. Many thanks,
Cindi

Beverley Justice says:
I heard the thermometer is sensitive to ambient temperature, is it?
Yes, it is sensitive to ambient temperature, which is part of the reason it is so accurate. But, as long as the thermometer is in approximately the same ambient temperature as the individual whose temperature is being taken, you don’t have to be concerned.

I like that they are manufacturers of medical & industrial grade products, but still put out a line for every consumer. ‘The temporal artery thermometer scans the forehead area for the temporal artery and it is almost impossible to miss the artery during a scan.’ Seems so easy to use and is just more accurate than anything on the market.

April 27th, 2009 at 6:07 pm
andrea v says:
Any covering, hair, hat, etc. will prevent the heat from dissipating, and would cause the reading to be falsely high. This also applies if one side of the head is into a pillow. I think this is a great product and much better to use than nthe ear ones.
