Bili meter

I'm not up on the latest technology, but about 10 years ago I worked in a
newborn nursery where we used a TCB (transcutaneous bili meter) for screening
of all newborns at time of discharge.  We had a protocol that if the TCB was
greater than 16 we did a lab bili.  I don't remember the brand name, but at
that time they did not recommend using it to manage babies who were receiving
phototherapy treatment.  Kris McHarg, PNP
