The service instructions in this manual are intended for use by qualified technicians. Conventions The following conventions are used in this manual.
  • 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...

    Operation Explosion hazard. Do not use this device in the presence of flammables (e.g., oxygen, nitrous oxide, anesthetics). WARNING Read and be familiar with this instruction manual before using this device . Only use this device under the direct supervision of a licensed medical practitio n e r. CAUTION Inspect this device before each use to ensure proper f u nctioni n g .
  • 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.

    Cleaning Required items: Soft cloth ® ® Mild cleaning detergent (e.g., Virex Tb, Virustat , Coverage ) or mild soap-and-water solution To clean the Bili-Meter: Confirm that the Bili-Meter is off. If it is on, press to turn it off. POWER Dampen the cloth with either the mild soap-and-water solution or detergent, then wipe down all exterior surfaces of the Bili-Meter.
  • Page 10: Calibrating The Bili-Meter

    12 months to a radiometric (irradiance) standard. Because certain calibration factors are stored in the Bili-Meter memory, the Bili-Meter must be recalibrated at Natus Medical. The date of the last calibration is labeled on the readout and sensor.
