Point-of-Care System for Determination of Bilirubin Capacity in Neonates

Status:	Recruiting
Conditions:	Gastrointestinal
Therapuetic Areas:	Gastroenterology
Healthy:	No
Age Range:	Any
Updated:	4/21/2016
Start Date:	August 2015

The aims of this project are to validate the performance of the miniaturized and modernized
hematofluorometer that measures bilirubin capacity into a product and is suitable for
operation in various point of care environments when encountering confounding direct
bilirubin, to complete the development of easy to use sample handling disposables, and to
verify the performance of the system for samples from a specified population of neonates.
