Description
 
The bili-ruler™ is a validated neonatal jaundice screening tool that was developed using advanced digital image processing and human centered design. Precision color matching and state-of-the-art printing techniques assure exceptional color fidelity. It is low-cost, noninvasive, and easy-to-use.

The bili-ruler™ is an “icterometer”, or a series of yellow swatches of increasing intensity that correlate to ranges of serum bilirubin levels and help determine the severity of jaundice.

Using the bili-ruler™ color that most closely matches the baby’s blanched skin color on the tip of the nose, the user can approximate the baby’s bilirubin level and determine the need for further diagnostic testing and treatment of jaundice. Bili-ruler™ was validated on nearly 800 multi-ethnic babies demonstrating equivalency to hospital devices costing thousands.

The bili-ruler™ significantly improves upon the original Gosset Icterometer which was expensive, less accurate on deeper skin tones and had inconsistent color shades from batch to batch. An industry first, it features an integrated light indicator to guide the user to the best lighting to assess a newborn for jaundice.

The bili-ruler™ has proven effective across a range of ethnicities, from Boston to Bangladesh. Presumably this is because 1) melanin, the major skin pigment, has no red or yellow hue, to interfere with jaundice detection 2) infants have far less melanin than children and adults, and 3) the nose tip has less melanin than other skin.
