IMPORTANT CLINICAL INFORMATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE
Care of the Skin
The skin serves as a protective barrier against chemical, mechanical, and biological
insults. The skin is also important in the regulation of body temperature and serves as
a route of water excretion, especially in premature infants. The introduction of new
intensive-care techniques has been associated with the increased survival of very
small, premature infants. The immaturity of the skin of the very low weight infants,
coupled with excessive instrumentation and handling, poses previously unrecognized
problems for the nursing care of these infants

.
Please read, evaluate and implement the following recommendations as appropriate:
1.
Please refer to the following standard of skin care recommendations as given in the
literature
2
when utilizing this device with all infants. Special attention should be
given to sanitation and skin integrity.
• Observe color, rashes, excoriation
• Clean skin with warm water
• Clean perineal area after stooling
• Change infant’s position every 2 hours
2.
This device is intended only for the treatment of existing hyperbilirubinemia. Use of
this device for prophylactic treatment, particularly of premature infants, is not
recommended. These infants have extremely fragile skin
3
and various clinical
studies have produced inconsistent conclusions concerning the effectiveness of
prophylactic phototherapy treatment
