Is the Exergen thermometer accurate?
With more than 100 published peer-reviewed clinical studies attesting to the accuracy on all ages from newborns to geriatrics, in all settings where fever detection is needed, the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer is by far the most proven accurate, compared to thermometers which have no or very few clinical studies.

Can you calibrate an Exergen thermometer?
What is the purpose of a calibration verification kit? It allows the calibration of any Exergen TemporalScanner thermometer to be verified in the hospital, on nursing floors, or in the field, conveniently, quickly, and accurately.
Do you add a degree with a temporal scanner?
An armpit (axillary) temperature is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature. A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature.
How accurate is Exergen TemporalScanner?
The Exergen TemporalScanner was able to predict rectal temperature in 49 of 50 febrile patients and 45 of 50 afebrile patients within the range of 0.2 C, resulting in correlation coefficient of 0.99 in the febrile group and 0.91 in the afebrile group, the highest scores of any of the thermometry methods.29 Jan 2013
Can temporal thermometers be wrong?
This type of thermometer may be less accurate than other types. Direct sunlight, cold temperatures or a sweaty forehead can affect temperature readings. Variations on user technique, such as holding the scanner too far away from the forehead, also may affect accuracy.
How accurate are temporal thermometers?
But the temperature readings vary depending on which one you use, and you need an accurate body temperature to determine if a fever is present. A forehead (temporal) scanner is usually 0.5°F (0.3°C) to 1°F (0.6°C) lower than an oral temperature.
Why is my Exergen thermometer not accurate?
Smudgy/dirty lens: The most common reason for low readings is a smudgy/dirty lens. To resolve, an alcohol dampened Q-tip should be twirled directly on the lens every 2-3 weeks. In the case of the TemporalScanner, the infrared sensor (which is behind the lens) must “see” the heat in order to measure it.
