[..] Good baseline measurement and very quick and easy -- Our family tried another thermometer that used the temporal artery to measure temperature. It was not accurate at all. We took it back and bought this one and have been very pleased. We get varied measurements with each reading but it only varies by a few tenths of a degree, not enough to be significant as far as we are concerned. It is very easy for our kids and in fact they like to take their temperature on their own sometimes. It only takes a second or two to take your temperature. Fast, easy, basically accurate -- a great product! [..] -- customer review

[..] Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer -- LOVE it! Great Product. It works well and my 6 year old son can use it by himself. I even took the temp under the arm pit and it showed the same temp or very close to it. It is fast and accurate and a wonderful buy! No troubles with it. I had to let it warm up from the outside cold when we got it and I put the battery in it. It was way below zero out. Once it warmed up to our indoor temp it worked great. Make sure to save the cap. It is easy to snap on and off and keep the cap to protect the sensor end. Make sure the cap is off before taking temp. My son even scanned it the opposite direction and it still gave very close readings. GREAT product! [..] -- customer review

"We measured the temperature with each of these two thermometers on children and compared the reading to the rectal temperature, which is generally considered the standard. Essentially we found that by every measure that we used, the temporal artery thermometer was more accurate than the tympanic." ~ David Greenes, M.D., Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School: National Public Radio interview
