4. Select measurement site:
Hospital Nursery/Postpartum/Family Birth Center – the neonate’s mid-
sternum is preferred but the forehead can be used.
Physician’s Office/Clinic/Outpatient Setting/Emergency Room – use
only the neonate’s mid-sternum. Rationale: these neonates have been
discharged from the hospital and their faces have been exposed to
more ambient sunlight.
5. Place the Jaundice Meter JM-105 probe tip flat against the baby’s skin,
not at an angle, and press lightly until you hear a click. Lift the
Jaundice Meter JM-105 from the skin between measurements and
pause until the green READY light illuminates again. Repeat the
testing procedure until the required number of measurements has
been taken.
6. If the measured value is out of the measuring range (0 to 20 mg/dL
or 0 to 340 µmol/L), a blinking value appears. The blinking value
depends on the preference set, -0-, >20, or >340.
NOTE 1: Blinking >20 and >340 are only available on devices with SW
1.20 or higher.
NOTE 2: To check this setting, refer to Configure the Jaundice
Meter JM-105, step 5.
