Ensuring superior functionality in the most demanding of hospital environments, the TAT-5000 series easily stands up to the heavy duty demands of a high-performance hospital workplace, including intensive care units and emergency departments, and all inpatient units. Depending on patient care requirements, this model allows the choice of using disposable covers, or cleaning between patients with a disinfectant wipe, providing the means for significant cost savings by eliminating or substantially reducing probe cover usage. This revolutionary feature provides payback for full hospital installation in less than one year.

Breakthrough Technology

TemporalScanner™ Temporal Artery Thermometry

With just a light stroke across the temporal artery area of the forehead, an accurate reproducible temperature is measured in about 3 seconds – eliminating any discomfort caused by a thermometer inserted into the ear, mouth, or rectum. Designed specifically to be completely non-invasive, the TemporalScanner is a most significant advance, applying Exergen’s well-proven Arterial Heat Balance (AHB) technology to the most convenient site possible.

Branching from the external carotid, the superficial temporal artery courses about 1 mm below the skin of the lateral forehead, providing good heat conduction to the skin surface. The TA is readily accessible, and provides no risk of injury from being touched. Since it is not an anastomosing vessel, perfusion remains high and stable, ensuring the reliability of conditions for the patented AHB method to compute accurate temperatures. High resolution infrared images confirm the reliability of the heat signature of the TA area for all ages.

Arterial Heat Balance (AHB) at the Temporal Artery at Room Temperature

Blood at Ta Is supplied to the temporal artery from the aorta via the carotids, and is cooled by heat energy lost to the environment at te resulting in cooler Tta, By measuring this heat loss and adding it back to Tta the AHB is formed and Ta is then recovered.

Testimonials

“We have found the TA thermometer to be significantly more accurate than the tympanic thermometer. This is in predicting rectal temperature in infants. The TA thermometer is significantly more sensitive than the tympanic thermometer. Especially for the detection of rectal fever in infants. The TA thermometer is better tolerated by patients than the rectal thermometer.”
