WATERTOWN, Mass., Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Exergen Corporation, maker of the world's most accurate thermometer, is raising awareness of the Exergen School of Nursing Thermometer Gifting Program that gives nursing students across the U.S. free Exergen home TemporalScanners – and  professional TemporalScanner models for skills labs. Exergen's thermometers have been proven accurate in 117 peer-reviewed, published clinical studies and are the #1 choice of nurses, pediatricians, and parents.

Key Points: 
  • Exergen's thermometers have been proven accurate in 117 peer-reviewed, published clinical studies and are the #1 choice of nurses, pediatricians, and parents.
  • Exergen Thermometers are far more accurate than non-contact infrared scanners (NCITs), devices that point at the forehead but do not accurately detect fever.
  • We are also donating our professional model thermometers to nursing schools' skills labs so that students learn at the outset the importance and proper tools for taking accurate temperatures," said Francesco Pompei, Ph.D., CEO of Exergen Corporation.
  • "Many schools and public spaces have been using non-contact infrared thermometers (NCITs) without realizing they don't work, so it is imperative that nursing students know how to accurately check for fever."
