Description
The new BiliBlanket Plus High Output pad, which can be identified by the gray cable,
provides higher intensity levels than the original BiliBlanket Plus High Output pad with the
white cable. Both pads can be used with the BiliBlanket Plus High Output or BiliBlanket
Plus High Output light source box, however, the pad with the white cable will provide lower
intensity levels.
The Ohmeda BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System uses a fiber optic cable
to deliver light from a high intensity lamp to a woven fiber optic pad. The pad is placed in a
disposable cover that is in contact with the patient. The patient is exposed to light in the
ideal 400 to 550 nanometer range for phototherapy treatment.
On units with the transilluminator option, unfiltered light in the visible spectrum travels
through a flexible light pipe to appear at the tip of the transilluminator cable. The light from
the cable is used to facilitate vascular sticks or injections. It is also used to find pneu-
mothoraces.
The BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy system consists of a light source unit and
a light pad with a four foot long fiber optic cable. The light source unit contains a lamp, light
filters, a variable power supply for the light source, a cooling system and overheating
protection near the lamp.
The light source lamp is a high intensity, tungsten halogen bulb with a built-in reflector.
The reflector is coated with a dichroic surface which reduces the infrared energy
transmitted. This bulb is specifically manufactured for use with the BiliBlanket Plus High
Output.
