Doctors and nurses prefer Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometer because it is clinically accurate, very easy to use, non-invasive, very cost efficient, user- and patient friendly, and improves significantly productivity. The Temporal Artery Thermometers use infrared technology to measure the heat naturally emitting from the skin surface on the forehead specifically from the temporal artery which is positioned 2 mm below the skin. In addition, this method incorporates a patented arterial heat balance system to automatically account for the effects of ambient temperature on the skin.
