WATERTOWN, Mass, August 30, 2023 – Exergen Corporation, a leading manufacturer of infrared temperature measurement equipment for medical applications introduced the TAT-5000S as the successor to the well-known TAT5000.

In the realm of healthcare, the challenges have never been more pronounced. As we stand at the crossroads of overworked hospitals, strained budgets, and an urgent call for sustainability, the need for innovative solutions has never been more apparent. Exergen’s answer to these challenges: the all-new TAT-5000S Temporal Artery Thermometer.

The introduction of the TAT-5000S couldn’t be more timely, addressing both the practical needs of healthcare professionals and the growing demand for environmentally conscious practices. Why?

1. Overworked Hospitals: A Strain on Healthcare Professionals

Busy hospitals have become a symbol of the relentless battle healthcare professionals face every day. The bustling corridors are a testament to the dedication of doctors, nurses, and support staff who work tirelessly to ensure the well-being of patients. However, the overwhelming workload, compounded by a sense of being underpaid and understaffed, has taken a toll on healthcare professionals. Burnout is a real concern, and addressing the working conditions of these invaluable individuals with the easy to use TAT-5000S that greatly improves their productivity is paramount.

2. Constrained Budgets: Navigating Financial Uncertainties

In the face of constrained budgets, healthcare institutions find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. The necessity of offering competitive salaries to attract and retain skilled staff clashes with the web of reimbursement models. Sustainable financial practices that prioritize fair compensation and resource allocation are vital for the industry’s future. For financially stressed hospitals, cost-efficient thermometers like the new TAT-5000S without consumables are a great benefit.

3. Sustainability: Greening Healthcare for Future Generations

The call for sustainability has gained momentum across the globe. Healthcare, as a significant contributor to waste generation, energy consumption, and carbon footprint, must take heed of this call. Hospitals are looking for ways to reduce waste, energy consumption, and their environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of patient care. The adoption of environmentally-friendly practices, such as eliminating the requirement for disposable caps that are only used once, offers significant advantages. This is one of the many benefits off the all-new TAT-5000S: no need for a throw-away cap.

The TAT-5000S: Merging Innovation with Compassion

Using cutting-edge technology, the all-new TAT-5000S not only addresses the immediate needs of healthcare professionals but also aligns seamlessly with the industry’s push for sustainability.

The TAT-5000S offers superior accuracy while boasting an even more user-friendly design. Its improved ergonomic structure ensures ease of use and helps improve productivity.

One of the standout features of the TAT-5000S is its dedication to sustainability. Crafted with innovative super plastic, the device’s housing is virtually indestructible, reducing the need for replacements and minimizing its overall environmental impact. Additionally, the elimination of single-use throw-away caps further showcases the product’s commitment to eco-conscious practices.

The TAT-5000S comes with a Lifetime Warranty, just like the TAT-5000 it replaces.

Towards a Healthier Future

In Europe, the TAT-5000S is already available. In many European hospitals, it has become the defacto standard thermometer.
