1.
Mount the BiliBlanket Plus High Output System on a radiant warmer, incubator, or
stand, or place it so that it sits on a flat, solid surface within a few feet of the baby.
The light source can be placed flat on its side or upright.
2.
Insert the fiber-optic pad into a new, disposable cover or vest. The white side of the
disposable vest goes over the clear illuminating side of the pad. Be sure to insert
the pad all the way in to the end of the vest/cover. See Figure 2-1.
3.
Secure the cover or vest around the pad cable with the adhesive tabs. See Figure
2-1.
4.
Connect the power cord to the light source and plug into a grounded electrical
outlet.
5.
Firmly place the fiber-optic cable connector into the light source port. Ensure that
there is no pressure or strain on the cable. The cable disconnects easily from the
light source as a safety precaution to help prevent the light source from being
knocked over when the cable is pulled beyond its length during treatment.
6.
Lay the covered light pad on the mattress or other flat surface with illuminating side
(side without label) facing up. Place the infant’s back or chest directly on the white
side of the pad with the tip of the pad at the baby’s shoulders and the pad’s cable
at the infant’s feet. See Figure 2-2. Ensure that:
•
as much of the infant’s skin is in direct contact with the lighted section of the
pad as is possible (diapers may be worn)
•
there is nothing between the infant’s skin and the light pad other than the
disposable cover (clothing may be worn over the pad)
•
the baby’s eyes are not directly exposed to the covered light pad.
7.
When using the vest, wrap the strap section snug around the infant’s mid section to
hold the pad in position and secure it with the tape tabs. See Figure 2-3.
8.
Set the brightness variable intensity knob on the front panel to the intensity level
prescribed.
9.
Turn the power switch to on.
The baby may be clothed or bundled in a blanket and will continue to receive effective
phototherapy treatment as long as the lighted section of the pad remains in contact with
the skin (it is light from the pad penetrating the outer few millimeters of skin which
results in the isomerization of the bilirubin molecule). Using the vest, it is possible to
hold and nurse the infant while continuing treatment.
Important: Be sure that the maximum area of illumination is in contact with the
patient’s skin.
