Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer

Product Description:
For centuries parents have used a hand on the forehead to check for fever. The temporal artery thermometer takes this same idea and makes it official, using infrared light to measure temperature from the temporal artery, which runs across the forehead and down the neck. Simply place the thermometer's quarter-size probe in the middle of your child's forehead and wipe it slowly across to the hairline. You'll get a reading in a few seconds. This gentle thermometer's technology is highly accurate, making it a comparable alternative to taking a temperature by mouth, ear, or rectum. It's especially useful if your child is sleeping or has an ear infection.
