Portable Jaundice Meter

The Portable Jaundice Meter is a handheld transcutaneous bilirubinometer designed to support neonatal jaundice screening in hospital and clinical environments. It helps healthcare professionals estimate bilirubin concentration non-invasively by placing the detector on neonatal skin, reducing the need for repeated invasive blood sampling in routine screening workflows where clinically appropriate.

This semi-automated jaundice meter is suitable for hospitals, neonatal care units, pediatric departments, maternity centres, nursing homes, and newborn screening areas. It provides instant test result reading and supports dynamic clinical examination of neonatal jaundice. The device is designed for quick handling, easy operation, data review, and repeat measurement support, making it useful for doctors, nurses, pediatric teams, and neonatal care professionals.

The device includes a simple 3-button operation, LCD display, review and delete function, average time setting from 1 to 9, storage and memory support, and unit switching between mg/L and µmol/L as per the provided product details. The result should be interpreted by trained healthcare professionals, and any clinical decision should be made according to newborn condition, hospital protocol, and confirmatory testing requirements where needed.

Applications

The Portable Jaundice Meter is suitable for hospitals, neonatal intensive care units, maternity hospitals, pediatric departments, newborn screening rooms, nursing homes, child care clinics, and healthcare facilities involved in neonatal jaundice monitoring. It is commonly used to support dynamic clinical examination of newborn jaundice in a fast and non-invasive manner.

This device supports screening and monitoring workflow only. If readings are high, clinically inconsistent, or require confirmation, healthcare professionals should follow hospital protocol and use laboratory serum bilirubin testing or other diagnostic methods where required.

How to Use

1. Insert 2 AA 1.5V alkaline batteries and check that the device powers on properly.
2. Ensure the detector surface is clean and ready for neonatal skin contact as per user manual guidance.
3. Switch on the device and wait for the green ready indicator before measurement.
4. Place the detector gently on the selected neonatal skin area according to clinical protocol.
5. Take the measurement and review the instant bilirubin reading on the LCD display.
6. Use average times setting from 1 to 9 if repeated measurement workflow is required.
7. Review or delete stored records when needed, and document values according to hospital process.
8. Clean the device contact area after use according to infection-control and manufacturer instructions.

This portable jaundice meter is useful for healthcare facilities that need a fast, handheld, and non-invasive tool for neonatal jaundice screening support. Its instant reading, memory function, LCD display, average setting, and simple operation make it practical for maternity hospitals, pediatric departments, and neonatal care areas.

The device helps clinical teams improve screening efficiency while reducing repeated discomfort associated with blood sample collection in routine checks. Buyers should confirm warranty, accessories, calibration requirements, maintenance process, unit settings, and clinical suitability before purchase.

FAQs

1. What is a portable jaundice meter used for?

A portable jaundice meter is used to support non-invasive neonatal jaundice screening by estimating bilirubin concentration through the skin. It helps doctors and nurses perform quick screening checks, but clinical decisions should follow hospital protocol and confirmatory testing when required.

2. Is this device suitable for newborn babies?

Yes, this transcutaneous bilirubinometer is designed for dynamic clinical examination of neonatal jaundice. It should be used by trained healthcare professionals who understand newborn screening, proper measurement site selection, infection-control steps, and interpretation limitations.

3. How many previous readings can it store?

The device can record 21 previous measurement values and allows review of recorded data. This storage function helps healthcare users compare readings during follow-up checks and maintain screening continuity in neonatal care workflows.

4. What is the measurement range of this jaundice meter?

The provided measurement range is 0.0 mg/dL to 32.0 mg/dL, with measurement accuracy range of ±1.5 mg/dL or ±25.5 µmol/L. Users should confirm unit settings and interpretation guidance from the manual before clinical use.
