What is phototherapy bili meter calibration?
Phototherapy bili meter calibration ensures these devices accurately measure the intensity of light used in neonatal jaundice treatment. Calibration involves comparing the instrument’s spectral irradiance readings to a higher-precision reference standard, helping clinicians deliver safe and effective treatment by monitoring the performance of phototherapy lamps.
Why is calibration important for phototherapy bili meters?
Phototherapy bili meters are critical for checking that therapeutic light sources deliver the correct intensity to treat conditions like jaundice. Regular calibration is essential to:
-
Maintain accuracy in light intensity measurements
-
Ensure effective and safe patient treatment
-
Support equipment maintenance and compliance protocols
-
Prevent under- or overexposure to phototherapy light
Measurement drift can occur over time due to frequent exposure to high-intensity light, making routine calibration vital to patient safety and care.
