OLYMPIC BILI-METER 

Instruction Manual

Taking Measurements

To use the Type B-22 sensor:

1

Connect the sensor to the readout. 

2

Hold the sensor against the infant’s body as near to the umbilical as possible 

and aim the sensor at the center of the phototherapy light (see Figure 7). 

„

For reproducible measurements, always hold the sensor on the same place on 

the infant’s body. 

„

Changes in the distance or angle of the light to the patient will change the 

irradiance the patient receives, requiring new measurements to be taken.

displays. While pressing 

READ

, adjust the aim of the sensor to obtain the 

maximum reading.

4

Release 

READ

. The irradiance measurement locks on the display for 30 seconds 

then automatically shuts off to preserve battery life.

„

When charting irradiance, note the type of radiometer used (e.g., Olympic 

Bili-Meter) and sensor (e.g., Type B-22).

„

If more than one phototherapy light is being used on the infant, take separate 

measurements for each light and chart each reading.
