Bilirubinometer

Description

The Bilirubinometer is a non-invasive, transcutaneous screening device designed for rapid and accurate assessment of bilirubin levels in newborns. Utilizing advanced spectrophotometric technology, this handheld instrument provides instant, painless bilirubin measurements through the skin, eliminating the need for blood draws in initial jaundice screening. Ideal for maternity wards, NICUs, well-baby nurseries, and pediatric clinics, the Bilirubinometer enables early detection and monitoring of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia.

Key Features

• Transcutaneous Measurement (TcB): Painless screening through skin contact—no needles required
• Multi-Wavelength Spectrophotometry: Dual or triple wavelength LED technology for precise bilirubin detection
• Instant Results: Measurement displayed within 2-3 seconds
• Skin Tone Compensation: Automatic adjustment for varying infant skin pigmentation and melanin levels
• Correlation with Serum Bilirubin: Clinically validated accuracy against laboratory TSB (Total Serum Bilirubin) values
• High Precision: ±1.0-2.0 mg/dL accuracy compared to laboratory reference methods
• Wide Measurement Range: 0-25 mg/dL (0-428 μmol/L) for comprehensive jaundice assessment
• Multiple Measurement Sites: Forehead and sternum readings for enhanced reliability
• Averaged Results: Option to take multiple readings and calculate mean value
• Hemolysis Detection: Identifies conditions requiring confirmatory blood testing
