Using light instead of a needle, BiliChek allows you to test bilirubin levels without regard to gender, gestational age, or bodyweight – and without needing a blood sample. Only the replaceable plastic tip touches the baby, so BiliChek greatly reduces the risk of infection or cross contamination. Resting lightly on the baby’s head or sternum, this revolutionary handheld unit gives you instant results — allowing you to make immediate treatment decisions all while reducing the costs and time associated with blood chemistry analysis. BiliChek is approved for use before, during, and post phototherapy making it ideal for the newborn nursery and NICU. BiliChek has also been cleared for use in the home setting.
