FAQ for Bilirubin Meter NBLM-102
1: Why does the Bilirubin Meter NBLM-102 use a xenon flash lamp as its light source?
The xenon flash lamp offers high-intensity, consistent illumination required for accurate light reflection. This ensures precise comparison between blue and green light to evaluate bilirubin levels effectively, even in varied lighting environments.
2: Is this device suitable for non-invasive bilirubin testing in newborns?
Yes, the Bilirubin Meter is designed for non-invasive bilirubin monitoring in neonates. It reduces the discomfort and risks associated with blood sampling, making it ideal for routine checks in neonatal and pediatric settings.
3: How does the average measurement function improve reliability?
By allowing 2 to 5 readings per session, the device calculates an average to minimize variability. This feature enhances diagnostic confidence, especially when monitoring borderline or fluctuating bilirubin levels.
4: How many uses can I get from a full charge?
You can perform at least 500 measurements per full charge, which supports continuous operation throughout the day. This long battery life is especially beneficial in high-volume hospital settings.
5: What should I do if readings seem inconsistent or vary too much?
Ensure the device sensor and skin are clean and properly aligned during measurement. Use the averaging function, avoid bright light exposure during testing, and check for correct unit positioning.
