Exergen Temporal Thermometer - Some Helpful Info

The Exergen Corporation, located in Watertown, MA, developed the exergen temporal thermometer, or the TemporalScanner.  Exergen Corporation produced the first TemporalScanner in 1999.  Then in 2007, they introduced the first self-disinfecting exergen temporal thermometer.  The exergen temporal thermometer will retain its self- disinfecting properties for up to five years.  The TemporalScanner is a thermometer that checks a person’s body temperature by gently swiping it across the forehead.  This simple technique eliminates any discomfort, unpleasantness, or invasive procedure associated with thermometer use.  The TemporalScanner is proven to satisfy an equal standard of accuracy to the pulmonary artery catheters, esophageal probes, and rectal temperature.  It provides fast, accurate results.  Exact body temperature is ascertained by measuring the temperature of the blood from a main artery source.  

This thermometer uses a method of measuring body temperature based on the AHB (Arterial Heat Balance).  The accurate results are achieved by gently swiping the thermometer across the center of the forehead, where an artery is located.  The thermometer scans the blood temperature and selects the highest temperature scanned, while simultaneously scanning the site temperature (the skin tissue temperature).  It then uses built in software to compile the information and derive an accurate temperature measurement, or the balance.
