Instructions for Use
WARNING:
The JM-103 is a screening device for bilirubin in the tissues and is
not intended to be used as a stand-alone measurement. When
Jaundice Meter results meet or exceed action levels established
by the unit, department, or facility, or are excessive for the
newborn's age in hours, the user should follow the procedures
established by the user's facility.
WARNING:
If the caregiver has any concerns regarding the values presented
by the JM-103 for bilirubin concentration, the physician should be
notified immediately for a determination whether supportive
laboratory blood serum analysis is required or infant retest is
appropriate.
Taking Measurements
CAUTION:
Unit must be placed in charger as
shown, or damage to charging contacts
could occur.
1. Remove the Jaundice Meter from the
charger unit.
NOTE:
Check the light output of the device at least once each shift (refer to
“Operational Checkout of the Jaundice Meter” on page 4-4). Proper
light output is one factor that affects meter performance. Light output
must be within the range shown on the inside cover of the checker to
obtain reliable measurements.
