NON-INVASIVE NEONATAL BILIRUBINOMETER

BILICARE

Accurate measurement and control of bilirubin levels

The BiliCare transcutaneous bilirubinometer measures bilirubin levels precisely and reliably using its patented LED technology.

The measurement is taken in the hem of the ear, the scaphoid, by simple contact with the LED reading clip. The measurement method and angle are thus standardized, which allows precise results to be obtained.

The BiliCare sends light at precise wavelengths through the skin and, by measuring the absorption by bilirubin, it deduces the bilirubinemia value.

  • Fast
  • Specific
  • Practical
  • Transcutaneous measurement by emission of
    light at different wavelengths
  • LED light source: no calibration
    and long life
  • Patient and practitioner identification by
    barcode for good traceability
  • No associated consumable
    (optional hygienic protections)
  • Long-lasting rechargeable battery
  • Results in the form of printable and exportable tables and graphs
