Operation
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Do not use this device in the presence of flammables (e.g., oxygen,
nitrous oxide, anesthetics).
CAUTION
Read and be familiar with this instruction manual before using this device.
Only use this device under the direct supervision of a licensed medical practitioner.
Connect this device directly to a properly grounded hospital-grade outlet.
Do not place objects on the light hood as they may cause the hood to change position
or items may fall onto the patient. Do not attach objects, other than a properly installed
Olympic Bili-Timer, that add weight to the device as this will degrade stability.
Always lock the wheel casters to maintain the correct light position over the patient.
During phototherapy treatment, cover the patient’s eyes with an opaque mask, such as
an Olympic Bili-Mask (see Figure 1.4 on page 1-4).
Keep the safety shield in place during phototherapy to protect the patient from
ultraviolet radiation and broken bulbs.
Place the bottom of the Bili-Lite light hood at least 20 in. (51 cm) from the patient to
avoid overheating the patient and to avoid ultraviolet and infrared exposure.
Place the bottom of the Bili-Lite light hood at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) from the top of the
incubator to avoid overheating the patient.
Do not place the Bili-Lite directly under the canopy of the radiant warmer, if used.
Never position the phototherapy light so that the Olympic Bili-Timer is under a radiant
warmer or heat lamp.
Observe the patient frequently for adverse reactions during phototherapy.
Monitor the patient’s water balance during treatment as it may be affected by
phototherapy.
Monitor the patient’s temperature during treatment because phototherapy may affect
patient body temperature.
Do not use reflective foils because they may cause hazardous body temperatures.
Patients adjacent to the phototherapy equipment may require eye protection or
shielding from phototherapy radiation.
Phototherapy devices may affect the heat supply of thermotherapy devices (e.g.,
incubators, radiant warmers, heated mattresses). During phototherapy treatment, it is
recommended that thermotherapy devices be operated in skin-control mode or that air
temperature setting or heat output of thermotherapy devices be reduced as
appropriate.
Measure the bilirubin level at regular intervals during treatment.
Photo isomers of bilirubin may cause toxic effects.
Operators may experience some adverse effects from exposure to phototherapy
irradiation.
Do not store drugs and infusion liquids in the phototherapy radiation area.
