BT-400 Operation Manual 9
This range corresponds to the spectral absorption of light by bilirubin, and is thus
considered to be the most effective for the degradation of bilirubin.
Blue LEDs do not emit significant energy in the ultraviolet (UV) range of spectrum, so
there is no concern about UV exposure to infant.
In addition, Blue LEDs do not emit significant energy in the infrared (IR) range of
spectrum, so there is no concern about IR exposure and excessive warming of the
infant.
When using phototherapy, protective eyeshades must be used to protect the infant’s
eyes from excessive light exposure.
Eye protection: Do not look directly into the LEDs. During treatment, always
protect the baby’s eye with patches or equivalent. Periodically and/or per your
hospital protocol, verify that the baby’s eyes are protected and free of infection.
Patients adjacent to the light may also need to be protected with eye patches or
LEDs have minimal light output degradation over their lifetime with proper use. The light
is expected to operate as specified approximately 100,000 hours.
2.4 Contraindication
Phototherapy is contraindicated in infants with congenital porphyria or those treated with
photosensitizing drugs.
