The Exergen TAT-5000 is fast, accurate, easy to use, and gentle enough to be used even on a sleeping patient. The Temproal Thermometer is truly non-invasive, eliminating any discomfort caused by a thermometer inserted in the ear, mouth, or rectum and can be used for all patients, newborns through geriatrics.

The Exergen TAT-5000 Temporal Thermometer takes a temperature with a light stroke across the forehead, providing an innovative method of temperature assessment based on infrared readings of temporal artery blood flow. More than 25 peer reviewed published studies have demostrated the Exergen TAT-5000 to be more accurate than ear thermometry and offers accuracy comparable to Gold Standards of pulmonary artery catheters, esophageal probes and rectal temperature

The Exergen TAT-5000 Temporal Thermometer features an antimicrobial head manufactured with silver ions that are released through a unique and controlled exchange process. Laboratory tests demonstrate that the controlled release of the silver ions from the sensor head provides continuous antimicrobial protection for more than 5 years.

The antimicrobial compound works proactively against a broad spectrum of bacteria, fungi and other microbes, proven to reduce bacteria on treated product by as much as 99.999 percent, or 5-log reduction. Laboratory tests also show that Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) are reduced by over 20 percent in 10 minutes, and to undetectable levels in 6 hours.

Currently more than 60% of the hospitals in the United States are using the Exergen temporal artery thermometer, many of which have standardized on this method throughout their entire facility for all their patient populations. Disposable covers are optional, as alcohol or other disinfectant wipes can be used between patients. Fiscally, the method is 90 percent less expensive than any other method of thermometry and provides a payback in approximately 8 months, with near zero expenditure from that point forward. The Exergen TAT-5000 maintains 0.10 deg C (0.20 deg F) accuracy across it's entire range of temperatures and is backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
