WARNING:
When using the device with a radiant warmer, make sure the light shade is not directly in the
path of the radiant heat rays. If the light shade is in the path, it will block heat to the infant and
may damage the light shade.
1. Place the infant in the center of the bed mattress.
2. Cover the infant’s eyes with eye protection. Clinicians should refer to the instructions for use provided
with the specic eye protection being used for proper application and use.
3. Maximize the infant’s skin exposure to the therapeutic light. For example, use the smallest size
diapers and avoid blanket rolls or positioning aids that block the light source.
4. If the system is mounted on a portable roll stand, lock the wheels to prevent the movement of the
device during the therapy.
5. Press the standby/on switch to turn on the therapeutic light.
6. Position the light shade at 38cm from the infant and aim the light towards the infant. The spot
diameter will be 35.5cm.
7. Using a calibrated Biliblanket Light Meter II, measure irradiance at the umbilicus when the infant is
supine and the lumbar area when the infant is prone.
8. The light shade may be raised to adjust light output and desired surface coverage.
9. Monitor the infant’s temperature during phototherapy treatment.
10. Monitor patient’s uid intake and output during phototherapy treatment.
