Gigahertz-Optik Product Update - MSC15 now with Bilirubin measurement function

The MSC15 (https://www.gigahertz-optik.de/en-us/product/msc15) spectral light meter now includes display modes for the accurate measurement of neonatal phototherapy lamps in accordance with the latest standards and guidance, irrespective of the lamp type or manufacturer. It directly displays total irradiance for bilirubin, Ebi (mW/cm2) in accordance with IEC 60601-2-50:2009+A1:2016 as well as average spectral irradiance (µW/cm2/nm) in accordance with the latest American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.

Neonatal phototherapy is widely used for the treatment for neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia, a condition in which there is too much bilirubin in the blood. This causes a yellowing of the infant’s skin, known as jaundice. Effective phototherapy requires sufficiently high irradiance with appropriate wavelengths, generally accepted as ‘blue light’.

Optimising treatment dosimetry, agreement on best practises and comparing research have all been hindered by the large variability of measurement data produced by the many proprietary broadband radiometers employed, each with its specific spectral response and typically tailored to specific lamp or LED types. The MSC15 spectral light meter conveniently and effectively eliminates these issues.

Additionally, the MSC15 can be used to measure any light source, displaying spectral irradiance from 360-830nm as well as photometric and colorimetric data including photopic, scotopic and melanopic illuminance, color rendering indices, color temperature and CIE chromaticity.
