6.2 Installation of the baby support
• Place the baby support on top of the light unit so the two
twin strips of Velcro
®
(on the plastic) are next to the drawing
of the baby‘s head on the light unit.
Important
The baby support must be positioned correctly to ensure that
the baby is in the correct position for treatment.
6.3 Attachment of the Bilicombi therapy
blanket
• Fasten the Bilicombi therapy blanket to the baby support.
Make sure the position is correct. This can be determined
by the drawing on the light unit, i.e. the foot end of the
Bilicombi should correspond to the position of the baby‘s
feet. Align the wide, white strips of Velcro under the
Bilicombi with the four Velcro tabs on the baby support.
Important
The Bilicombi therapy blanket must be positioned correctly to
ensure successful treatment as well as a safe and efficient
positioning of the baby. The baby‘s body must lie on the ther-
apy lamp and its head must be positioned according to the
drawing on the light unit.
Warning
Sufficient air must circulate around the BiliBed (total ventila-
tion openings must have a minimum area of about the space
necessary to fit the width of a regular pencil or pen). If the
space around the BiliBed does not meet the requirements for
proper air circulation, the flaps of the Bilicombi can be folded
under the plastic surface of the Baby support.

6.1 Installation of the light unit
• Remove the mattress from the cot. It will not be needed.
• Place the BiliBed light unit in the baby‘s cot. To make sure that sur-
rounding panels protect the baby, never use the BiliBed without a cot.
• Insert the power cord and the cable with the START/STOP switch through the
openings in the base of the cot. If the cot has no openings in the base, hang
the cable over the side of the cot. For safety reasons this must be at the foot
end of the cot.
Important
Sufficient air must circulate around the BiliBed. This is insured if the base of the cot
is provided with ventilation openings. If this is not the case, the BiliBed should be
surrounded by enough free space to maintain temperature balance. The total ventila-
tion openings must have a minimum area of 20 cm
2
, or about the space necessary
to fit the width of a regular pencil or pen. The amount of heat given off by the
BiliBed is not significant nor is it problematic when it is used in the hospital accord-
ing to our instructions.
