The Bilicheck is a screening device with the potential to reliably indicate hyperbilirubinemia in very preterm infants. Caution is required when skin measurements are performed in the presence of peripheral edema and/or a poor peripheral circulation. Its application in the NICU environment has the potential to reduce the number of blood samples by 40%.
