Neonatal jaundice happens often in newborn babies and it was a concern for healthcare specialists for quite a period. It is important to detect and treats such conditions from the initial stages since high bilirubin levels can result in permanent brain injury for the baby. The use of optical examination alone is generally considered as unacceptable as this can lead to false judgments with babies being put in danger of hyperbilirubinemia.
SAAG Medicare Systems offers a handheld transcutaneous jaundice meter (M&B MBJ 20), which can be used instantly and efficiently in the dynamic clinical examination of neonate jaundice. It non-invasively and instantly tests the transcutaneous concentration of bilirubin correlative with serum bilirubin concentration by placing it on neonatal skin that prevents the neonates from any discomfort brought by a blood draw. Moreover, it reduces test costs and increases the working efficiency of doctors and nurses. The portable nature of the equipment means that it can stretch to use in a diversity of conditions such as neonatal units, maternity settings, and pediatric departments.
