2. Place the baby on the padded side of the BiliSoft cover
or BiliSoft Nest. Adjust the straps as needed.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the maximum area of
illumination is in contact with the patient’s skin.
WARNING:
Improper use of the BiliSoft Pad Cover straps, BiliSoft Nest straps or
fiberoptic cable may cause a strangulation or choking hazard.
3. Swaddle the baby as needed. The patient, along with
the light pad, may be covered or wrapped in a thin
blanket. It is possible to hold and feed the patient
while continuing treatment. The patient will continue
to receive effective phototherapy treatment as long
as the covered, light emitting section of the pad
remains in direct contact with the skin.
If a baby cannot be swaddled, positioning aids may be
placed under the light pad to bring more light to the
sides of a baby’s body for greater skin surface area
exposure to the light.
4. Protect the baby’s eyes with eye patches or an
equivalent appropriate eye protection product.
WARNING:
Direct exposure of the eyes to any phototherapy light may cause eye
damage. Always protect the baby’s eyes with eye patches or an
equivalent appropriate eye protection product. Periodically and/or
per your hospital protocol or healthcare provider’s instructions, verify
that the patient’s eyes are protected and free of infection. Care should
also be taken to protect the eyes of patients adjacent to the
treatment area, when necessary.
