Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer Review and Giveaway
Life is funny sometimes in that you do not know that you need something until you are without it. This happens many times to young people when they move out for the first time and they realize that the one thing they need their parents have at their house. There are many items that fall under this category but the one I am speaking of specifically now is a thermometer.
I recall the first time that I needed a thermometer but realized I did not have one, I think my temperature was in the 100’s and I was a ton of miserable. It took me a couple of days but I finally ended up at my father’s house to use his – not surprising I went home with one of my own. Flash forward 20 years and I still have these needs and I still find myself without a thermometer, well that is until now.
I recently received a Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer to review, and I can say that this is the easiest way to take your temperature, or that of a loved one. I received the TAT-2000C model, which is the home version of the thermometer that you often see in hospitals and doctors offices. The thermometer uses the Temporal Artery on your forehead to get a highly accurate temperature. In case you do not know the Temporal Artery, located on the forehead, has a direct connection to the heart via the carotid artery. This artery has a constant blood flow which is needed for an accurate temperature measurement, and is the most convenient and comfortable place to take a temperature.
The Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer sat comfortably in my hand and I had no issues with use. The battery installation was simple and easy as well as the quick version of instructions included. The thermometer has an 8 temperature memory ability which means that it will automatically retain the last 8 temperature readings taken. Another feature is the soft glow display which gives a soft light so that you can read the temps even in a dark room.
When you purchase and open the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer you will receive not only the thermometer but the 9 volt battery needed and a comprehensive manual as well as a quick start guide. I took my temperature a couple of times and each time it was within .1 degree of the others.
I would recommend this to anyone who has any temperature taking needs, including those moving on their own for the first time. Get started on that never-ending collection like you remember your parents having – someday you might need to give someone a thermometer of their own!
