Someone is paying for a marketing research in "new technology for detection and monitoring of hyperbilirubinemia". Stevens, Blair and Company (413) 567 1134, is paying $100 for a 45 minutes interview to neonatologists for their input on the new technology. Neonatologists call at 1 800 482 6660 for appointment. I have nothing to do with this company. I got their fax to a friend. The fax is not label confidential, nor copyright protected. Asensio is wrong about CCSI technology on bilirubin. It does work better than the old types of "colorimeters", and less cumbersome. One factor is that it is easier to use and does not vary from reader to reader. Asensio is exaggerating the lack of a market. But the longs are exaggerating the potential market ("every pediatrician" "every home health agency"), and dismissing the possible competition from SPRX.

Physician's Weekly Highlights And Analysis Of Medical News physweekly.com Clinical Updates June 22, 1998 Vol. XV, No. 24 BILIRUBIN Light meter quantifies jaundice quickly NEW ORLEANS-For newborn jaundice in an era of fast discharge, the eyes don't have it. In a study of 615 Hispanic, 110 Caucasian, 103 Asian, and 72 African American infants, a team at Mount Sinai in New York found that a color-filtered light meter equals heelstick blood tests, with no lab delay. Used at five body sites for up to 10 seconds every six to eight hours until discharge, the handheld BiliTest (Chromatics Color Sciences International) scored within 2 mg/dL of 95% of the bilirubin lab values for premies and full-term infants weighing two to 10 pounds, Dr. Ian Holzman told the Society for Pediatric Research meeting here. There was no effect of race, complexion, gestational age, or phototherapy-which 61 of the newborns received-on the device's ability to correlate with bilirubin. Only five of 900 tests, he says, read 11 mg/dL or lower when bilirubin showed 12 mg/dL or higher. -Elsie Rosner
