Page 4: Intended Use
Intended Use The Olympic Bili-Meter Model 22 is a spectroradiometer for measuring the irradiance (radiant power) of neonatal phototherapy lights and pads. Description The Olympic Bili-Meter is comprised of a readout and a detachable sensor (either the Type B-22 or the Type F-22, see below). Readout Figure 1 Olympic Bili-Meter Model 22 readout... -
Page 5: Measuring Irradiance
Measuring Irradianc e The Bili-Meter is a spectroradiometer that measures the therapeutic irradiance (radiant power) of neonatal phototherapy lights. It measures the irradiance of the wavelengths from 425 to 475 nanometers (nm), the blue-green portion of the spectrum, which includes the principal action spectrum of bilirubin. Units of Measurement The Bili-Meter measures irradiance in units of microwatts per square centimeter per nanometer (µW/cm... -

Page 7: Taking Measurements
Taking Measurements To use the Type B-22 sensor: Connect the sensor to the readout. Hold the sensor against the infant’s body as near to the umbilical as possible and aim the sensor at the center of the phototherapy light (see Figure 7). For reproducible measurements, always hold the sensor on the same place on the infant’s body. - Page 8 The sensor may have failed. Retry the read.
