The Giraffe® Spot PT Lite
TM
Phototherapy System provides a
cool light for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia. The system
consists of two main components: a light source unit which
houses the lamp, controls, universal power supply, cooling
system and thermostat; and the adjustable gooseneck which
contains the light pipe and lens that deliver therapeutic light
energy to the patient.
The Light Source Unit
A metal halide bulb provides the light source. A fan cools the
bulb and extends bulb life.
Located on the front of the unit, a rocker switch turns power on
and off. Located near the power switch, a non-resettable hour
meter shows how long the unit has been operated. Next to the
hour meter, a green LED indicator lights when the unit is on,
while a red LED indicator lights when the fan fails to operate
correctly or the unit overheats.
Underneath, on the base of the unit are the IEC power recep-
tacle, two resettable circuit breakers and the fan filter retainer. A
mounting bracket on the back of the unit allows the unit to be
positioned and secured in the dovetail slot of an accessory rail.
Tightening two socket head mounting screws holds the unit in
position.
The Gooseneck
The light intensity delivered to the patient varies directly with the
distance of the lens head from the mattress. You change the
intensity and spot size by manually adjusting this distance. The
vinyl coated flexible gooseneck allows the lens to be positioned
anywhere you wish; the gooseneck bends to a new position and
then holds the lens in place. A flexible light pipe inside the
gooseneck transmits the light from the lamp to the lens, where it
can be directed at the patient.
