Fiber for Jaundice Device Jaundice Phototherapy Glass Fiber 04
A jaundice meter uses fiber technology to measure at an infant's skin surface, generally noninvasively. Primarily used for newborns, it detects elevated bilirubin, the chemical responsible for jaundice. Neonatal jaundice is common when an immature liver cannot quickly process bilirubin, a byproduct of old red blood cells. The meter illuminates the newborn's skin at selected wavelengths and uses a fiber sensor to measure reflected intensity. Because bilirubin absorbs particular wavelengths, the reflected amount estimates the bilirubin concentration beneath the skin. Such measurement is generally considered fast, noninvasive, and painless for the infant. 1. Light source: emits wavelengths with specific bilirubin absorption characteristics. 2. Fiber sensor: receives reflected light, generally using a spiral fiber to detect and transmit signals. Results are generally output as a bilirubin index correlated with actual blood bilirubin concentration. Based on this index and other clinical parameters, physicians may perform further blood tests or immediately provide treatment such as phototherapy. Phototherapy generally places the infant under blue light, converting bilirubin to other forms that the liver can process and eliminate. 1. Improved portability: convenient for healthcare personnel to carry and use in different clinical settings. 2. Improved accuracy: precise control of beam contact and high-sensitivity detection. 3. Reduced cross-infection risk: noninvasive measurement reduces opportunities for cross-infection through skin contact.
