Premium Temple Touch Thermometer Now Available in Walgreens® Stores Nationwide

Sept. 25, 2009 - PRLog -- The Premium Temple Touch Thermometer, a new, enhanced, non-invasive device that uses groundbreaking technology to accurately measure temperature on the forehead and underarm in just six seconds, is now available nationwide at all Walgreens® stores and online at Walgreens.com for $29.99.

The Walgreens® Premium Temple Touch Thermometer delivers clinically accurate core body temperature in only six (6) seconds by gently touching the thermometer to the temple. Because of this sensitivity, it is ideal for use on a sleeping infant or child, and is a preferable alternative to common digital stick thermometers.  This version of the Temple Touch thermometer can also measure temperature under the arm, a point on the body frequently recommended by pediatricians as a safe and accurate place measure a baby’s temperature.  

Among its premium features are:
•   Full screen backlight display
•   Memory recall
•   An overdose protection timer that alerts the user when it is safe to give another medication dose
•   A fever alert which causes the display to light up red to indicate a fever reading, and green if the temperature reading is normal
•   Ability to display temperature in Fahrenheit° or Celsius°, according to the user’s preference

The proprietary technology behind all Temple Touch Thermometers is so revolutionary that it has formed a new category in the thermometer market– conductive forehead thermometers.  The product uses Medisim’s patented R.A.T.E.™ (Rapid, Accurate, Temperature Establishment) technology which provides accurate detection of the core body temperature using conduction. Other temple and forehead thermometers currently on the market, such as scanners or strips, can be influenced by ambient or skin temperature conditions resulting in incorrect readings.

The Premium Temple Touch Thermometer and the Mini Temple Touch Thermometer are manufactured by Medisim Ltd.  For more information on Temple Touch thermometers, please visit www.TempleTouchThermometer.com or www.Walgreens.com.
