The Exergen TAT-2000C Temporal Thermometer is a totally non-invasive system with advanced infrared technology providing maximum ease of use with quick, consistently accurate measurements. Advanced, patented technology measures temperatures with a gentle stroke across the forehead. The Exergen TAT-2000C Temporal Thermometer has been clinically tested for accuracy compared to rectal thermometers and temperature sensors inserted on the heart during course of patient treatment making it the ideal thermometer for use with newborns, infants, children or adults. The Exergen TAT-2000C Temporal Thermometer has patented software, providing arterial heat balance. This unique process determines temperature by accurately measuring the balance between the tissues warming from arterial blood and tissues cooling (warming) caused by heat loss (gain) to the environment.

Why take temperature measurements at the skin surface over the temporal artery?

The best place to measure temperature is the center of the heart, but this can be done only under a doctor's supervision. Doctors know that measurement of the blood temperature in a major artery accurately reflects true body temperature. The Exergen TAT-2000C Temporal Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin surface over the temporal artery, a major artery of the head.

The temporal artery is connected to the heart via the carotid artery, directly leading from the aorta, the main trunk of the arterial system. The artery offers constant blood flow and is the only such artery positioned close enough to the skin surface to provide access needed to take an accurate measurement. The Temporal Artery is easy to use because it is ideally located at the front portion of the forehead.

How does the Exergen TAT-2000C Temporal Thermometer work?

As you gently stroke the thermometer across the forehead crossing over the temporal artery, the sensor in its probe performs two processes:

1. First the Temporal Thermometer scans like a video camera, capturing naturally emitted infrared heat from the arterial blood supply at about 1000 frames per second, locking in the highest temperature it senses

2. Second, at the same time, a patented system measures the ambient temperature of the site where the temperature is being taken. The patented arterial heat balance (AHB) software then synthesizes the two separate readings to accurately determine and display body temperature.
