• the TAT-5000 is very durable and can be used without throw-away sensor caps to avoid unnecessary waste and costs
• due to its industrial design, the TAT-5000 is covered by a Lifetime Guarantee
• the housing of the thermometer is resistant to aggressive disinfectants
• the technology on which these thermometers are based are supported by more than 85 peer-reviewed and published clinical studies
• the TAT-2000C offers at-home users the same accuracy, speed, and reliability as the TAT-5000 and TAT-2000 for use in hospitals – at a very attractive retail price

That means that both hospitals and at-home users need a fast and very accurate thermometer”, says Dr. Frank Pompei, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Exergen Corp. “With 25 years in the medical business, Earth Line Co.
