Processing of Measured Values
The Jaundice Meter determines the yellowness of the subcutaneous
tissue by measuring the difference in the optical densities for light in the
blue and green wavelength regions. The optical density difference has
been shown to have a linear correlation with serum bilirubin
concentration. The device computes an estimated bilirubin
concentration based on this linear correlation and provides the value on
the display.
