With reported cases of hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice) on the increase,
routine, reliable testing for all neonates has become even more
essential. The traditional prediction of serum bilirubin levels by
visual clinical examination, however, has been shown in studies to be
less than 40% accurate, further highlighting the need for valid
screening. Using the Unistat Bilirubinometer, health professionals can
now accurately determine in less than five seconds whether more
extensive tests are required. Simple to use and calibrate, minimal
training is required to operate the Unistat which includes diagnostic
codes, a high-level check cuvette and an expanded measuring range. A
disposable cuvette is filled with 20µl of undiluted serum, eliminating
the errors which can often occur from time-consuming dilution. The
cuvette is then inserted into the sample chamber and at the touch of a
button results are shown on the LED display in under five seconds.
Results of comparative studies have indicated that the Unistat is
superior to other analysers, both in terms of performance and economy,
matching HPLC for accuracy and reliability.
