Giraffe PT Light Meter

Optimizing phototherapeutic treatment for jaundice

Jaundice is the result of high levels of bilirubin in the blood and tissue. Excessive bilirubin may lead to hyperbilirubinemia and kernicterus. One of the most common conditions requiring medical attention in newborns, jaundice treatment includes hydration, phototherapy, or blood transfusion. For clinicians, it’s vital to identify high levels of bilirubin as early as possible and decide on the most appropriate treatment plan.

When treatment includes phototherapy, the Giraffe^TM PT Light Meter provides a quick and reliable measure of irradiance from phototherapy systems — helping clinicians give infants the care they need to go home healthy.

Accurate measurements with ease

The Giraffe PT light Meter is a battery-operated handheld device that is optimized to measure and/or monitor irradiance of a device before and during therapy, checking irradiance to adjust the distance between the device and patient and checking for deterioration in lamp performance.
