Customer Reviews of Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer with Silver Ion Antimicrobial Head
Customer Review: now where near accurate
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this scanner a few years back while I was pregnant with my first child, anticipating that kids get sicka nd I would need it. However, she didn't get sick for the first year and a half... lucky me! But when she did start getting sick (as did my son) I went to use the scanner, read the directions and went to scanning.... Well, I was not impressed. Yesterday, was the last straw... I did the scan just like the directions said (3 times - alcohol swabbed forhead, etc.) and in the course of 30 minutes I had 4 VERY different readings!!! #1 - 101.4 #2 - 99.3 #3 - 104.6 #4 - 97.... these where done about 8-10 minutes apart.... She was a little warm but not lathargic.... needless to say I'm going to get a new 'old school' thermometer today!Customer Review: Junk

Taking the temperature on the same child within 10 minutes got various readings from 102 - 107.5. Really? Am I supposed to take the average? Clearly she had a temperature (she was very warm to the touch), but with that kind of range it was hard to know if it is time to run to the ER or call the pediatrician. We've had this one for 6 months. We're throwing it out and buying something else.Customer Review: would be more accurate to guess the kid's temprature.

My 2 month old son got his vaccinations yesterday and like expected he got a fever this AM. used this thermometer and it read 97.9... i touched his forhead and felt him to be very warm. i used the under arm thermometer we got at the hospital and it read 101.4. $40 down the drain.
p.s. i re-read the directions and scanned again... same deal off my almost 3 degrees.
Customer Review: Random Number Generator
Summary: 1 Stars
This thermometer is a random number generator. I followed the instructions precisely and could never get consistent readings with it. When I measured my son's temperature, I got readings ranging from 96-106ºF. Sure, sometimes it was accurate, but when my child is sick I can't rely on a random number generator to tell me if he needs to go to the doctor.Customer Review: Garbage ~ Don't waste your cash!

I bought this thermometer recently, and after witnessing the ridiculous inaccuracies, I promptly took it back! Good riddance!
The temperature readings were never, ever, ever consistent, and fluctuated with the wind! What is the point in spending $30ish on a thermometer for inaccurate ratings?
Garbage!
