Philips has announced their latest BiliChek bilirubin measurement system which is capable of detecting and quantifying jaundice in newborns via a non-invasive manner (which also equates to painless). How does it manage to perform such a miracle? Well, that is due to the implementation of using light to measure total serum bilirubin levels in skin though a special touching tip sensor. The LCD color display makes it easy to view even in the low-light levels of a nursery, while step-by-step instructions, graphics and a faster measurement system offers increased proficiency and productivity. Implementing a barcode scanner makes room for accurate entry and verification of nurse and patient identification information in a jiffy. As mentioned earlier, this non-invasive method is so comfortable, newborns can just continue snoozing away without feeling disturbed!
