Customer Reviews of Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer MODEL# TAT-2000C
Customer Review: Practice makes perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
Three years, two batteries, and lots of use and abuse -- still going strong. We used to go through three $7 cheapo digitals a year before we bought the Exergen, which was a replacement for a new Braun ear thermometer that didn't handle ear-infection fevers and was uncomfortable for the sick person.
It's a simple procedure, with practice. Note the previous advice to make sure the button is only depressed DURING thermometer contact with skin. We've learned to make four passes: each half of the forehead (middle to near-ear, tracing a "shallow wavy line" to make sure we're catching the right spots), and firmly pressed in the hollow under each ear lobe (after "airing it out" for 30s to avoid heat trapped by long hair, pillows, etc.). Remember to give a previously-probed area at least a half-minute or so to "recover" if you want to probe it again -- the probe will have slightly cooled the skin. My four readings per set were within 0.2 degrees F after a few sessions of practice, and each set takes about 20s, or about a minute if "ear-airing" is necessary. The beeping is helpful once you get tuned into the "good-readings" patterns.
If temp readings start to look erratic, try wiping the lens area (especially the shiny cone) with soft cloth slightly dampened with alcohol. Skin oil can film over the works and distort readings. We found that multiple erratic and "ERR" readings meant it was time to change the battery. (Hold it door-side up, probe-end facing you: Firmly push door ridges away from you with your thumbs.)
We use a newer model at preschool. I tell the kid, "Here comes the magic probe!," make beeping robot noises, and show him/her each reading. Most kids are fascinated enough to sit still for it. Our kids are special-needs, and the probe is much less invasive and quicker to use on touch-sensitive autistic children than other thermometers. Even with a squirmy, unhappy child, we can at least find or rule out "official fevers" (100.4F and above). The school's model has disposable covers, but I find them unwieldy (likely a practice thing) and prefer to alcohol-wipe the probe between coverless uses.
Like others, I wish it was back-lit (though batteries would drain faster). A beeper-off switch for the benefit of acutely sensitive ears (or lightly sleeping babies) would be helpful. Otherwise, it's great.
