Exergen Corporation, the leader in infrared temperature measurement for medical applications has announced that it has signed a distributor agreement with Ababil Healthcare.

 “India is a very important market for Exergen. I am very excited to announce that we have been able to sign a wide-ranging partnership with Ababil Healthcare in Chennai to market and sell our Temporal Artery Thermometers in the southern part of India’, says Dr. Francesco Pompei, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Exergen Medical.

 “Ababil Healthcare delivers state-of-the-art medical equipment for doctors, nursing homes, and hospitals to manage every critical care department. We are very impressed by the accuracy and ease of use of the Temporal Artery Thermometer”, says Mohammed Ibrahim, CEO of Ababil Healthcare. “At the same time, the infrared thermometers designed and manufactured by Exergen are very affordable. We think both doctors, nurses and at-home-users in India will love the Temporal Artery Thermometer series of products”.

 The TAT-5000 and the TAT-2000 thermometers for professional use by doctors and nurses and the TAT-2000C thermometer for consumer applications are based on a very innovative infrared technology. They offer many advantages over more traditional methods of determining a patient's body temperature:

 “The TAT-5000, the TAT-2000 and the TAT-2000C are non-invasive thermometers, which is ideal for patients," says Dr. Marybeth Pompei, Senior Vice President & Chief Clinical Scientist, Exergen Corporation. “They are comfortable and very accurate. In addition, the use of the TAT-5000 and the TAT-2000 is in line with hospitals' efforts to make them more sustainable. Since the TAT-5000 and TAT-2000 do not require the use of disposable caps to protect the measuring sensor no unnecessary waste is generated. The TAT-2000C is aimed at at-home users. It is also the at-home thermometer of choice of doctors and nurses in the US”.
