PARENTS MAGAZINE JULY 1999 <<picture of a newborn sleeping comfortably>> NEW PAIN-FREE TEST FOR JAUNDICE For weeks, Darby Macfarlane cringed as she watched nurses draw blood from her newborn to monitor jaundice, a condition that affects 60 percent of all babies and could lead to brain damage if left untreated. Doctors traditionally use blood tests to track an infant's bilirubin count, but thanks to Macfarlane's effort to develop a noninvasive method, babies (and their parents) can now be spared the pain of needle pricks. Her Colormate TLc BiliTest, a handheld device that uses a light sensor to measure the yellow tinge in skin, recently won FDA clearance.
