T he Jaundice Meter JM-103 determines the yellowness of the sub-cutaneous tissue of a newborn infant by measuring the difference in optical
densities for light in the blue (450 nm) and green (550 nm) wavelength regions.The measuring probe has two optical paths (see Fig. 1). The use of
this method allows measurement of yellow-ness of the skin and subcutaneous of a newborn infant with the in-fluences of melanin pigment and
skin maturity kept at a minimum, which was impossible with conventional methods.

When the measuring probe is
pressed against the forehead or ster-
num of the infant, the built-in
xenon lamp flashes, and the light
from the xenon lamp is guided to
the skin surface through the glass
fiber and illuminates the skin. The
light is then scattered and absorbed
in the skin repeatedly, and finally
returns to the glass fiber (sensor
side). Of the light that returns to the
fiber, the part scattered from
shallow areas of the subcutaneous
tissue passes through the inner
core (short optical path) of the fiber
while the part scattered from deep
areas of the subcutaneous tissue
passes through the outer core (long
optical path), and then they reach
their corresponding photodiode.

By calculating the difference in optical densities, the parts that are
common to the epidermis and dermis will be deducted, and as a re-
sult the difference in 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
serum bilirubin concentration, it is converted to serum bilirubin
con-centration and indicated digitally.
