Robin, Will be visiting Montreal and Toronto in two weeks and would like to chat with some physicians re SPRX's efficacy and utilization. Could you tell me which Canadian medical centers have purchased the instrument and are using it on a regular basis. In addition, what is the reimbursement and or code being used in Canada. Is the procedure only covered under private insurance or under the hospitals billing code?? Lastly, does SPRX have a tracking mechanism to follow sequential measurements?? Are the Canadian physicians relying on SPRX's measurements or performing concurrent blood levels tests?? Rebecca

Biliblanket <<Wouldn't it be possible to place the UV blanket over the majority of the baby's body, say from the neck down and leave the head unexposed for monitoring? (As I'm sure you know, the UV blankets are very good at selectively directing light.) What adverse effects would this cause? I can't see any other than a need to increase the exposure time of UV over the remainder of the body to make up for full vs. partial immersion.>> It is my understanding that biliblankets are not used nearly as often as the lights that are projected over top of the baby - especially overseas. Therefore, one would have to the additional costs when considering the Spectrx device....purchasing biliblankets when they most likely use the lights, labor costs to train on usage of the device as well as the blanket etc. -- that is, IF using the blanket is an option, I am not positive on that.
