It seems like everyone I know has been sick since the beginning of the year. My little granddaughter had the flu last week so she missed out on all the Easter egg hunts. My daughter had a nagging cough for several weeks, and it turns out she had pneumonia. And my husband, Fabgrandpa, had surgery on April 2 for an ulcerated plaque in his carotid artery.
One thing we didn’t have to worry about throughout all this sickness is whether or not someone had a temperature. With the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer, all it takes is a gentle swipe of the forehead to get an accurate temperature. If the little ones are sleeping, they don’t need to be awakened to take their temperature.
Exergen sent me one of the TAT 2000C Home Model Temporal Artery Scanners. It is fast, accurate, and non-invasive, and makes it so easy to take someone’s temp. Even if Fabgrandpa is playing his PC game and killing the bad guys, I can just step over, scan his forehead, and get an accurate reading, all while he never misses a step in the game.

I like that it is less invasive.
I like that it is non – invasive and easy to use.
I like how quick and easy it is and you don’t even have to wake your child to take their temp
This is the kind my pediatrician uses, quick and accurate
I like that the Arterial Heat Balance computes the correct temperature and that its safe for all ages.
I love that you can take a temp and not disturb the child
I like how easy it is to use, just a swipe across the forehead
I like how quick and easy it is to use.
My favorite features are that it’s fast and accurate! I love the Red LED Light so you just have to lightly touch the forehead. My easier then an under the arm thermometer!
I like the ease of use best.
I like the 1000 readings it takes per second and choosing the most accurate.

I like that it is accurate and that you can use it on a sleeping baby without waking him.
My favorite feature is that you don’t need to wake the patient to check the temperature. I wish they’d use this in hospitals, they wake you at 4 am to take your temp!
I like that you can take the kids’ temperature while they are sleeping.
I need one like this. its perfect for in the middle go the night temp checks.
Looks like a pretty neat thermometer. Super easy to use for the kids!
We Aw this thermometer. It’s a fav for the kids.
We have this too and love it. I had to tape the battery lid though because it keeps popping off. Does yours do that too? Otherwise this has been a life saver!
I need to try this! I have no thermometer in the house and this seems like would be great with kids!
I love that it takes the temperature so easily! I like that it’s non-invasive and can be used while children are sleeping.
I love that it’s quick and non-invasive. This would be great for using on a sleeping child.
I have this thermometer for the boys. Great one!: )
That’s got to be great with the little ones ’cause it’s so hard to get them to sit with a thermometer in their mouths. Or am I seriously outdated?
Sorry to hear about everyone being sick. I love these type of thermometers that provide fast results without a fuss.
I absolutely love that this thermometer is not invasive. With a four month old baby in the house, I need something that is quick, accurate, and is not going to wake him up.
I hate having to wake kids up to get in mouth temp, so this would be so much easier!
I appreciate so much how easy it is to take a temperature with this. The non-invasive quality is the best.
I like that the temperature can be taken while the child is asleep. No need to wake them up to take the temp.
my son was recently sick and we had to wake him everytime to get tempeture from under his arm and of course half the time it was in the 100 til he seen the doctor poor guy was miserable turned out to be a double ear infection
This looks awesome! I always hate waking my kids up to take their temperature and this would make it so easy to do!
I’m always losing our thermometers. THe little ones get buried in the junk drawer or the kids take it out to play doctor. This one is big enough that i won’t lose it. LOL!
i love that you just have to scan the forehead lil ones can at times be pretty difficult to check ty for this chance best of luck everyone
I like how accurate it is and no hassle. I think this is a must have!
I like how accurate it is! I always worry that the readings on my thermometer aren’t accurate.
I love that I can use this on my 3-yo without disturbing him.
I like that I could take my kids temperatures without having to wake them. To take my 2 year olds temp I literally have to pin him down.
So easy and you do not have to wake up the patient even!
I love that it’s non invasive. It’s literally outside the body and easy.
This sounds so much easier to use than other thermometers.
I like that I don’t have to try and hold a wriggling baby still with one hand and hold a thermometer in her, um, booty with the other. It’s a process that neither of us enjoys.
I had a thermometer like this, but I am not sure what happened to it. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love this with my son needing to take his temp with his heart transplant you have to take it often so this is perfect for him. It takes is a gentle swipe of the forehead to get an accurate temperature.
I like that you can take temps while folks are sleeping.
One feature I like is that it has visual and auditory signals to let you know that the scan was successful.
I love that it wont wake your child and it takes 1000 readings per second.
I like that this thermometer is non-invasive.
i like that it isnt invasive and fast.

I like that all you need is a gentle swipe and not wake up my grandbaby if she is sick.
I like the accuracy and ease of use.

I love that I can take my son’s temp without waking him up.
I love everything about this thermometer, but mostly that it only takes a gentle stroke of your forehead to get a fast accurate reading, without disturbing the patient! 🙂
