A Jaundice Meter is a noninvasive medical device designed to measure bilirubin levels in newborns to assess neonatal jaundice It provides a quick and painless method for screening and monitoring bilirubin levels reducing the need for frequent blood tests serum bilirubin tests
Key Features of a Jaundice Meter
NonInvasive Measurement
Uses transcutaneous TcB technology to measure bilirubin levels by analyzing light absorption through the skin
Eliminates the need for blood draws making it painfree for infants
Portable and Lightweight Design
Compact handheld devices for bedside and pointofcare testing
Batteryoperated models provide mobility for home visits and field use
Digital Display
Displays bilirubin concentration mgdL or molL instantly
Clear readings enable fast diagnosis and trend monitoring
Accuracy and Reliability
Provides highly accurate measurements comparable to laboratory tests for early detection of hyperbilirubinemia
Supports calibration to maintain consistent accuracy over time
Multiple Measurement Sites
Measures bilirubin through forehead sternum or other parts of the body with minimal pigmentation interference
Data Storage and Connectivity
Stores historical data for trend analysis
Modern models offer USB or wireless connectivity for data transfer to electronic medical records EMR
Safety and Hygiene
Designed with disposable covers for hygiene and crosscontamination prevention
Applications of Jaundice Meters
Neonatal Care Units NICU
Routine screening for newborn jaundice in hospitals
Pediatrics Clinics
Allows early detection and outpatient monitoring of jaundice progression
Home Healthcare
Suitable for home visits by nurses or midwives for followup care
Preventive Care Programs
Useful in community health programs to reduce hospital admissions for jaundicerelated complications
Advantages of Jaundice Meters
Quick Results Provides readings within seconds enabling rapid intervention
PainFree Testing Ideal for neonates eliminating the trauma of frequent blood draws
CostEffective Reduces dependency on laboratory tests saving time and money
Improved Monitoring Allows continuous tracking of bilirubin levels without invasive procedures
Reduced Risk of Infection Minimizes exposure to bloodborne pathogens
Limitations
Skin Tone Sensitivity Results may vary with darker skin tones requiring calibration adjustments
Lower Sensitivity at High Levels May require confirmation with serum bilirubin tests for extremely high readings
Calibration Dependence Needs frequent calibration to maintain accuracy
