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.
