There are numerous studies done with phototherapy and the bleaching effect it can have on the skin

The "Elmhurst study" by SpectRx was from a long time ago and it was to collect data that they used for the FDA approval that was just announced (NOT while under phototherapy).

I am of the opinion that since Chromatics is already out there selling their device (which does work if the infant undergoes phototherapy treatment), and since they had such a tremendous response at all the pediatric conventions all over the world, they will prevail in the area of bilirubin monitoring.

By the time (IF) SpectRx receives approval for their device for phototherapy, Chromatics' device will be the standard used in a majority of hospitals.
