Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces the BiliCare System, a non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubin meter designed for neonatal care. It is used to measure and monitor bilirubin levels in newborns to assess the risk of hyperbilirubinemia, a condition that can lead to kernicterus if not properly managed.
Key Features:
  • Non-Invasive Measurement: The device reduces the need for heel sticks by providing accurate bedside measurements.
  • LED Technology: Utilizes LED transmission technology, which is less sensitive to motion artifacts and does not require routine calibration, reducing maintenance needs.
  • Ease of Use: Features a large, clear display and a resistive touch screen that can be used with or without gloves. The menu-driven interface minimizes training requirements.
  • Data Management: Can store up to 40 measurements, facilitating easy data transcription and comparison. A barcode scanner allows quick entry of caregiver and baby identification.
  • Cost Efficiency: Offers low cost of ownership with the option of using disposable tips and a long-lasting rechargeable battery.
Procedure:
  1. Initiate the measurement process by pressing 'measure' on the home screen.
  2. Position the BiliCare clip on the baby’s ear to take the measurement. The device automatically applies pressure, ensuring consistent results.
  3. Review results or take additional measurements as per hospital protocol.
Technology: The BiliCare System uses spectroscopy to measure bilirubin levels by transmitting light at different wavelengths through the outer ear. The amount of light absorbed by bilirubin is calculated to determine the bilirubin level using a customized algorithm.
Advantages of LED Technology: Unlike Xenon lamps, LEDs do not deteriorate over time, eliminating the need for routine calibration. An optional calibration check is available for user confirmation.
Ordering Information: The BiliCare System includes a handheld unit, charging cradle, power supply, calibration check tip, and infection control tips.
Conclusion: The BiliCare System provides a reliable, non-invasive, and cost-effective solution for monitoring bilirubin levels in newborns, enhancing neonatal care by reducing the need for invasive blood tests.

MEASUREMENTS IN A NON-INVASIVE DEVICE Ease of Use — just follow the simple prompts for quick measurement where and when you need it Neonatal jaundice is a common condition, but when not carefully monitored, hyperbilirubinemia can lead to kernicterus, a devastating condition. Early measurement of bilirubin levels, leading to early intervention is recommended but the time to take a blood sample and trauma to the baby made universal screening difficult. Now, the Bilicare System provides a cost and time effective way to monitor bilirubin levels without unnecessary heel sticks. 1 Simply press measure...

The BiliCare Transcutaneous Bilirubin Meter The BiliCare System measures the level of bilirubin using a patented technology that has been validated in clinical studies to provide accurate results. BiliCare technology is based on spectroscopy—measuring substances using light at varying wavelengths. The BiliCare System measures the level of transcutaneous bilirubin in the newborn by transmitting light at different wavelengths through the outer ear. The amount of light absorbed by the bilirubin is calculated by comparing the intensity of the light before it enters the tissue with its intensity after...
