Regardless of the type of light measurement device used, taking measurements of a light pad or light source can be cumbersome and time consuming – something that is not conducive to a busy NICU. Most measurement systems require multiple point-by-point measurements to account for the large area of exposure over the patients skin surface. These measurement must then be added up and divided by the amount of test points to get an average irradiance. Depending on the type of light system, this can be six, ten, or even more individual points of measurement that need to be written down and then tabulated. This process alone can take three to four minutes, and requires the need for a pad of paper, pencil, and calculator.
Researchers looking at variations between phototherapy lamp validation practices among area hospitals noted testing and validation was often impractical due to lack of simplicity and time constraints often delaying on-site measurements. Failure to test or validate the required 30 uW/cm2/nm recommended by the AAP increases the risk of incorrect exposure levels as lamp output, setup and working distances change.
One measurement device aims to take many of those challenges off the table. The ILT750 has been designed to seamlessly take measurements while automatically calculating the average irradiance in a matter of seconds. Simply scan the detector head under the light source or over a bili-pad and let the meter do the rest! Watch our demonstration video below.
ИЛТ750 је доступан у две различите конфигурације како би се омогућило поређење са историјским производима или ажурираним спецификацијама.
The ILT750-Bili has a peak response at 470 nm and incorporates ILT's proprietary BAS filter to more accurately match the bilirubin action spectrum. This meter is ideal for measuring a wide range of light sources including traditional fluorescent, halogen and LED.
The ILT750-Bili454 is designed to be a direct replacement for the now-discontinued GE Ohmeda meter. If you are currently using any of the GE bili systems including the Giraffe, Lullaby, Bilisoft and other traditional GE blue light systems, this meter will read within a few percent of the Ohmeda. The meter is calibrated at 454 nm using a GE LED light source and applies proper band irradiance calculations.
Оба модела долазе са ИСО17025 акредитованим сертификатом о калибрацији, а оба су класификована као медицински уређаји класе 1.
