The Portable Bilirubin Meter is a handheld diagnostic device designed to measure bilirubin levels in newborns for early detection of neonatal jaundice. It provides rapid, non-invasive screening using light-based technology, eliminating the need for blood sampling in routine assessments. The device enables quick clinical decisions by delivering instant and reliable results at the point of care. Its compact and battery-operated design makes it suitable for neonatal intensive care units, maternity wards, pediatric clinics, and community healthcare settings.
The Portable Bilirubin Meter is used to measure bilirubin levels in newborns for screening and monitoring jaundice.
It is commonly used for:
Neonatal jaundice screening
Monitoring bilirubin levels in infants
Reducing invasive blood sampling
Early detection of hyperbilirubinemia
Routine newborn assessment
It provides quick and reliable results, enabling timely clinical decisions in neonatal care.
This device is widely used in:
Hospitals & NICU Units – continuous neonatal monitoring
Maternity Wards – routine newborn screening
Pediatric Clinics – follow-up and outpatient testing
Diagnostic Centers – point-of-care bilirubin assessment
Home Healthcare Services – post-discharge monitoring
Its portability enables flexible use across different healthcare environments.
The device uses optical photometry to measure bilirubin levels through the skin by analyzing reflected light at specific wavelengths.
Light is emitted onto the newborn’s skin (forehead or sternum), and the reflected light is analyzed to calculate bilirubin concentration.
An internal processor converts optical signals into digital readings, providing accurate bilirubin values instantly.
The unit includes:
Non-invasive measurement method
Skin-safe light emission
Automatic calibration
Error detection and alert system
Non-invasive bilirubin measurement
Instant result display within seconds
Optical photometric detection technology
Handheld and portable design
Digital display with real-time readings
Memory storage for patient data
Battery-operated for bedside use
High measurement consistency and repeatability
These features enable efficient neonatal screening and reduce dependency on laboratory testing.
This device is suitable when:
Non-invasive screening is preferred
Rapid results are required at bedside
Frequent monitoring of newborns is needed
Laboratory access is limited
Portable and easy-to-use equipment is required
It is ideal for neonatal screening, routine monitoring, and point-of-care diagnostics.
Depending on diagnostic requirements, alternatives include:
Serum Bilirubin Analyzer – laboratory-based blood testing
Blood Gas Analyzer – advanced biochemical analysis
Point-of-Care Bilirubin Systems – minimally invasive testing
Multi-parameter Monitors – integrated neonatal monitoring
Selection depends on accuracy requirements and testing environment.
