Training sets of the device using the self-devised algorithm (a,c,e) Raw and fitted data with the scattered residual points between ± 0.02% from the cumulative fitted data, used for the estimation of TSB (19.8 mg/dL), Hb (11.2 gm/dL) and SpO2 (99%). (b,d,f) Raw and fitted data with the scattered residual points beyond ± 0.02% from the cumulative fitted data, discarded by the algorithm for the estimation of TSB (19.8 mg/dL), Hb (11.2 gm/dL )and SpO2 (99%). (g–i) The calibration curve between the instrument index values acquired from the device with the obtained TSB values from blood test at the three partitions (see text) in 229 neonates respectively. The calibration curve shows a polynomial nature with the TSB values and the instrument index function. (j–l) The calibration curve between the instrument index values acquired from the device with the obtained Hb values from blood test at the three partitions (see text) in 1072 neonates respectively. The calibration curve shows a linear dependency with the Hb values and the instrument index function. (m–o) The calibration curve between the instrument index values acquired from the device with the obtained ABG values from biochemical test at the three partitions (see text) in 483 neonates respectively. The calibration curve shows a polynomial nature with the ABG values and the instrument index function.
