Phototherapy
To reduce risk of hyperthermie you may use photo-
therapy in combination with the RH 600 infant radiant
heater.
Otherwise, risk of inducing hypothermia in the undressed
infant.
Example: Wall-mounted RH 600 with Babytherm 8000 WB
and Photo-Therapy 4000
● Push the stand of the phototherapy unit under the
frame of the infant bed, e.g. Babytherm 8000 WB.
● Tilt the lamp housing towards the bed.
● Adjust the height of the phototherapy unit: minimum
clearance between the lower edge of the lamp body
and the patient: 0.3 metres.
● Position the lamp housing so that the radiant heat
reaches the patient unimpeded.
● Follow the specific Instructions for Use of the
phototherapy units.
If operating the radiant heater in »Man« mode:
● Reduce the heater output level by 3 steps
compared to operation without phototherapy.
Using the phototherapy units will result in increasing the
temperature of the infant.
Monitor the core temperature of the infant.
