Intended Use of the Jaundice Meter
The Jaundice Meter is a non-invasive transcutaneous bilirubinometer. It
measures yellowness of subcutaneous tissue in newborn infants. The
unit provides a visual digital measurement that has been shown to
correlate with serum bilirubin in newborn infants.
The device is intended for use in hospitals or doctors’ offices under a
physician’s supervision or at their direction to assist clinicians in
monitoring of newborn infants. The device is not intended as a standalone screening device for diagnosis of hyperbilirubinemia. It is to be
used as a screening device in conjunction with other clinical signs and
laboratory measurements.
Newborn infants whose Jaundice Meter test results are indicative of
hyperbilirubinemia should be evaluated by their physician(s) for
appropriate patient management. Specific neonatal patient bilirubin
levels should be confirmed by other methods, such as serum bilirubin,
prior to treatment determinations.
The Jaundice Meter is not intended for home use.
Limitations (Doctors’ Office Use)
Use only on infants up to 14 days of age.
For doctors’ office application, use only the sternum location when
taking measurements.
Please be aware, performance in doctors’ offices may vary from
performance in hospitals.

Precocious Jaundice
Do not use this device on infants with precocious jaundice. If there is a
possibility that the infant is suffering from precocious jaundice, as a
result of an incompatible blood type or hemolytic jaundice, it is
recommended that the total serum bilirubin be measured.
Intended Use of the User Manual
This manual provides instructions for installation, use, operator
maintenance, and troubleshooting of the Jaundice Meter. Draeger
Medical cannot be responsible for the performance of the Jaundice
Meter if the user does not operate the unit in accordance with the

Introduction, Features,
and Specifications
Introduction
To prevent kernicterus in newborn infants, it is very important to detect
jaundice in its early stages. The Jaundice Meter is a non-invasive
transcutaneous bilirubinometer. This hand-held device allows a quick,
non-invasive estimate of bilirubin concentration, to be used as an aid for
the management of jaundice in newborn infants. The measurements are
taken automatically when placing the instrument’s measuring probe
against the measuring site of the infant and pressing it gently; the
measured value is then displayed.
Measuring Point
Measurements must be taken only on the infant’s sternum (at hospital
sites or physicians’ offices) or forehead (at hospital sites only) where a
sufficient amount of blood is circulated. A possibility exists that the
bilirubin in the subcutaneous tissue may measure low for areas with
minimal blood flow or areas in which the subcutaneous tissue is subject
to keratinization.
Although correlation with serum bilirubin was observed for both
sternum and forehead measurements, the clinical studies performed with
the Jaundice Meter and referenced in Appendices A and B show
consistently better results with measurements taken at the sternum
versus the forehead. There is a possibility that this difference may be
more pronounced for infants that have been exposed to sunlight, such as
infants seen at doctors’ offices. Only sternum measurements were
evaluated during the studies conducted at doctors’ offices; correlation of
forehead measurements with serum bilirubin has not been evaluated,
and the device is not intended for forehead measurements at doctors’
offices.
NOTE:
Use the sternum location when taking measurements at doctors’ offices.

Phototherapy
WARNING:
Do not use the Jaundice Meter after initiation of phototherapy or
after an exchange transfusion. Results may be inaccurate under
these conditions.
Explanation of the Test
Measuring Principle
The Jaundice Meter determines the yellowness of an infant’s
subcutaneous tissue by measuring the difference in the optical densities
for light in the blue (450 nm) and green (550 nm) wavelength regions.
The measuring probe has two optical paths. This method allows for a
more precise measurement of yellowness in an infant’s subcutaneous
tissue by minimizing the influences of the melanin pigment and the skin
maturity.
When the measuring probe is pressed against the sternum or forehead of
the infant, the built-in xenon lamp flashes. The light from the xenon
lamp passes through the glass fiber and illuminates the skin. The light
scatters and is absorbed in the skin and subcutaneous tissue repeatedly,
and then finally returns to the sensor side of the glass fiber. Of the light
that returns, the part scattered from the shallow areas of the
Page 2 - 2Jaundice Meter Instructions for Use (MU01380)
Page 13
DRAFT 20 June 2005
subcutaneous tissue passes through the inner core, or short-optical path,
of the fiber. The part scattered from the deep areas of the subcutaneous
tissue passes through the outer core, or long-optical path, and then
reaches its corresponding photodiode.
SPECIFICATIONS
By calculating the difference in the optical densities, the parts that are
common to the epidermis and dermis are deducted, and as a result, the
difference in the optical densities between the two wavelength regions
can be obtained for the subcutaneous tissue only. Since the optical
density difference shows a linear correlation with the total serum
bilirubin concentration, it is converted to the estimated bilirubin
concentration and is indicated digitally.
The Jaundice Meter device software uses a correlation coefficient to
convert the measurement difference from the dual optical path to an
estimated bilirubin concentration. The calculation formula used includes
the correlation coefficients α and γ. These coefficients were determined
in pre-clinical testing. The equation used is as follows:
J
= α(L-S) + γ
sample
Where L and S are the long and short optical path measurements.

DRAFT 20 June 2005
Use of the Device
Patient Population
The Jaundice Meter is indicated for use in neonatal patients born >35
weeks gestation who have not undergone transfusion or phototherapy
treatment.
Averaging of Measurements
Averaging measurements may allow for more precise results. Averaging
three or more readings, computed automatically by the Jaundice Meter
when the desired number of measurements is set (see “Setting the
Number of Average Measurements” on page 5-5), provides more
precise transcutaneous bilirubin measurements than using a single
measurement. Assess the advantages of using average measurements at
your facility. The mean of three measurements showed the highest
degree of correlation (r=0.965); however, the difference compared to a
single measurement was minimal with a single measurement (r=0.963).
Each facility should consider the advantages of averaging multiple
measurements versus using single measurements.
Averaging was not evaluated in the doctors’ office study.
Action Levels
Action levels are Jaundice Meter readings when the nurse must take
some type of action, as determined by individual facility policy, for
example: reporting results immediately to the physician, or obtaining a
serum total serum bilirubin. A facility’s action level may be determined
by the performance of the device in their unique population, which
depends on factors such as skin color, skin thickness, infant age, and
measuring site. The bias relative to serum bilirubin differs between
hospital versus physicians’ office sites (see Appendices A and B).
Different action levels may be appropriate for hospital versus
physicians’ offices.
NOTE:
Using proper action levels avoids false negatives - where an infant is
believed not to have significant jaundice but does, in fact, have
significant jaundice that might require treatment.
Calibration
The JM-103 does not require user calibration. The system includes a
checker that measures the intensity of light from the device to ensure the
light output is acceptable for proper use. Light intensity must be
checked daily.

Processing of Measured Values
The Jaundice Meter determines the yellowness of the subcutaneous
tissue by measuring the difference in the optical densities for light in the
blue and green wavelength regions. The optical density difference has
been shown to have a linear correlation with serum bilirubin
concentration. The device computes an estimated bilirubin
concentration based on this linear correlation and provides the value on
the display.

Operational Checkout of the Jaundice Meter
Do not touch the surface of the checker (located in the charging base)
with your fingers. If the checker gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth
dampened with alcohol, and then wipe it with a dry cloth. Although the
JM-103 device can be damaged as stated on pages 3-1 and 3-4, we
recommend the unit always be verified to be operating properly by
following the steps as stated in sections 4 and 5. Always remove the unit
from service if there are concerns regarding the unit’s performance, and
immediately contact your Dräger Medical representative.
For quality control purposes, periodically compare the JM-103 to serum
bilirubin results. This checks that the instrument maintains consistent
performance over time and that the operators are using the instrument
properly.
Using the checker supplied with the charger unit, check the instrument
to verify that the meter light output is within range for both long and
short wavelengths of light. The labeling on the inside cover of the
checker will state the acceptance ranges for both long and short
wavelengths. The procedure to verify is as follows:
1.Hold the Reset button down, and set
the Power switch to the On position.
NOTE:
If the Reset button is held down for longer
than 15 seconds, the unit of measurement
switches.
2.After CHE appears on the display
window, immediately release the
Reset button. If the Reset button is
held down for longer than 15 seconds,
switch the unit of measurement back to
its previous setting (see “Selecting the
Unit of Measurement” on page 4-3).
3.Visually confirm that CHE appears in
the display and that the Ready lamp
illuminates.

Appendix A
Clinical Performance Summary
Introduction
The Jaundice Meter has been the subject of clinical studies in Japan and
the United States. The following is a summary review of two clinical
studies in the US and a later study in the doctors’ office setting.
Because this device performs measurement through the use of light, it is
non-invasive and painless for the infant. The objective of the clinical
studies was to confirm that the device measurement, displayed in units
of estimated bilirubin concentration, correlates with the serum bilirubin
concentration sufficiently to warrant its use as a screening tool.
The data in the following sections is provided to demonstrate results of
the JM-103 clinical studies, in comparison to total serum bilirubin. The
JM-103 reports values over a range of 0-20 mg/dL estimated bilirubin.
Appendix A pages A2 - A18 illustrate results of hospital site studies.
Appendix B pages B3 - B8 illustrate results of physicians’ office site
studies.
The following is a summary of the study protocols:
Study Design
Selection Criteria
The patient selection criteria used for the studies included infants less
than 30 days old and weighing greater than 1000 grams. Although the
selection criteria was established as “less than 30 days of age,” the
infants in the hospital studies were primarily NICU and newborn infants
unless their medical condition required a longer duration of care. The
test was performed on infants who were determined by their physician
to require a serum bilirubin test. A tabulation of weight distribution is
provided in graph 22 Infant Weight Distribution. Error plots by weight
are provided in graphs 23 Clinical Study Site A Birthweight Error Plot, Forehead and 24 Clinical Study Site A Birthweight Error Plot, Sternum.
Jaundice Meter Instructions for Use (MU01380)Page A - 1
Page 58
DRAFT 20 June 2005
Demographics of Patient Population
All patients meeting the above criteria were included in the study. There
was significant effort to ensure sufficient representation of all skin
pigmentation to verify that the JM-103 could be used across all
populations with consistent results. The demographics of the patient
population included Caucasian, African-American, East-Asian, IndianPakistani, and Hispanic infants.
Sample Size
The total number of infants in the sample populations are shown on the
graphs of the trials presented on pages A-3 through A-15. The hospital
trials studied 613 patients. The data for the doctors’ office study is in
Appendix B and encompassed 201 infants.
Measurement Selection
At the Beaumont and Hutzel study sites, triplicate measurements were
taken, each measurement was recorded, and the three measurements
were averaged. At the Jefferson study site, only single measurements
were taken. Estimated bilirubin measurements taken during the studies
ranged from 1.1 to 20 mg/dL.
Body Sites Tested
In the hospital setting, the measurements were taken on the forehead
and sternum each time the measurements were taken for a particular
patient. In the doctors’ office setting all measurements were taken at the
sternum.
Number of Hospital Sites
Two hospital sites participated in the hospital study: hospital study site
A with 513 patients studied and clinical study site B with 100 patients
studied.

DRAFT 20 June 2005
Performance Data
The data in the following sections, as well as Appendix B, is provided to
demonstrate the performance of the Jaundice Meter. This series of
graphs shows the correlation of the estimated bilirubin concentration
taken non-invasively with the JM-103 to the actual serum bilirubin
concentration measured from a blood sample taken from the patient
(TSB) as explained in Sections 4 and 5. The device operates over a
range of 0.0 – 20.0 mg/dL (0 – 340 μmol/L). The data include graphs in
the form of x-y plots where x is the total serum bilirubin concentration
measured and y is the JM-103 estimated bilirubin measurement. Refer
to the graphics results provided in this appendix for the results of studies
at hospital sites. To address device performance in doctors’ office
setting, a study of 201 infants was performed. Results showed similar
performance at doctors’ offices as shown in Appendix B. The data for
the doctors’ office setting contained no forehead measurements as all
measurements were taken at the sternum. This data correlated well with
prior sternum data (refer to page A-12). The serum bilirubin
measurements were taken using direct spectrophotometry in Clinical
Study A and specifically with the Beckman-Coulter Synchron LX-20 in
Hospital Study B. Both systems were used in the doctors’ office study as
well.

Reproducibility
Reproducibility of the light output of the device was tested daily using
the checker. The checker determines the intensity of the light output of
the device. The accuracy of the device is determined by how well the
detectors in the unit measure the returning light. The results of the
device testing using the checker show that the device produced output
within the required range over the course of both hospital studies.
Reproducibility testing in the patient population can be derived from the
data taken in Hospital study site A. The reproducibility data is based on
467 infants. Three independent measurements were taken at each site—
forehead and sternum. Each measurement was recorded, and the mean
and standard deviation were computed and recorded. The average
standard deviation for forehead and sternum measurements was 0.3 for
both.

Conclusion
The data shows that the estimated bilirubin concentration measurement
from the Jaundice Meter correlates to the serum bilirubin measurements.
This data supports the use of this non-invasive device along with other
clinical indicators as an aid in the management of jaundice in the
neonatal patient population.

Doctors’ Office Data
Study Design
Studies were performed at two doctors’ office sites comparing JM-103
Total Calculated Bilirubin (TcB) to laboratory measured total serum
bilirubin (TSB).
Selection Criteria
The ages of the infants in the study ranged from approximately 24 hours
to 7-10 days, with a mean of 3 days (at site 1) and 5 days (at site 2). The
test was performed on infants who were determined by their physician
to require a serum bilirubin test.
Demographics of Patient Population
All patients meeting the above criteria were included in the study. The
majority of babies were Caucasian or no skin tone noted (n=167) with a
small number of reported ethnicity defined infants (n=34). The
demographics of the patient population included Caucasian, AfricanAmerican, and other.

Measurement Selection
Estimated bilirubin measurements taken during the studies ranged from
2.3 to 19.5 mg/dL. No "Averaging of Readings" was used with the JM-
103.
Body Sites Tested
All infants were measured at the sternum location ONLY.
Number of Doctors’ Office Sites
For the doctors’ office study, two sites were chosen for application of
the device. Sample size was 201 patients.

Performance Data
The data in the following sections is provided to demonstrate results of
the JM-103 clinical studies, in comparison to total serum bilirubin. The
JM-103 reports values over a range of 0-20 mg/dL estimated bilirubin.
Although the doctor's office study showed correlation of JM-103 to the
TSB laboratory values, the relationship (bias) of the JM-103 to the TSB
values was somewhat different than previously reported for hospital
sites (as previously shown in Appendix A). This may be related to the
ages of the infants in the doctor's office study and the difference in
individual development. Therefore, please be aware that results at
doctors offices may differ from results at hospitals and may have more
variability.
The reported data shows that 27% of the JM-103 measurements were
higher than the Laboratory TSB and 71% were lower (2% were matched
sets). Of the readings falling below the TSB value, 87% were within 3
Mg/dL of the TSB value. Those readings that reported above the TSB
value 94% were within 3 Mg/dL of the reported TSB value. The largest
error was a single 5.2 Mg/dL reading. The serum bilirubin
measurements were taken using direct spectrophotometry and the
Beckman-Coulter Synchron LX-20.
See regression analysis and infant age graphs below for data at the
individual sites. A regression analysis is also provided on the total of
201 infants.
