Maintenance Schedule
Maintain the unit in accordance with the information listed in the Operator maintenance
table on this page. This schedule lists the minimum maintenance frequencies. Always follow
hospital and local regulations for required maintenance frequencies.
Operator Maintenance
Weekly or after each patient:
Clean the BiliSoft LED Phototherapy System with soap and
water. Disinfect the unit only if required per the hospital or home health care protocol.
IMPORTANT: For hygienic purposes, never place a baby directly on the bare fiberoptic light
pad. The light pad must be covered with the BiliSoft Pad Cover or BiliSoft Nest as described
in the Operating Instructions. BiliSoft Pad Covers and BiliSoft Nests are for single-patient
use only. The BiliSoft Pad Cover or BiliSoft Nest must be changed between patients and
whenever it is soiled. Follow all local and national regulations for disposing of this type of
product.
Quarterly: Inspect the air filter and clean or replace as required.
Note:
This is the minimum inspection frequency. The filter must be cleaned or replaced
whenever it appears dirty.
Approximately every 8,000 to 10,000 hours: Replace the LED module when the BiliSoft
irradiance is below the specification. See service manual for details.
