WARNINGS
• Possible Risks: All phototherapy methods have possible risks including, but not limited
to, bronze baby syndrome, diarrhea, hyper-pigmentation, minor erythema, skin
reddening, skin blistering, and potential retinal damage. Monitor the patient closely for
signs of these conditions during phototherapy.
• Photo Isomers: Bilirubin photo isomers might cause toxic eects.
• Porphyrins: Porphyrins are the by-products of the photochemical break down of
the bilirubin molecule. In some cases, exposure of porphyrins to phototherapy could
result in a localized reddening of the patient's skin. Therefore, skin assessment is
recommended with all types of phototherapy per hospital policy.
• Photosensitive Drugs: The light generated can degrade photosensitive medications.
Do not place or store any drugs near or in the illuminated area.
• Dehydration and Insensible Water Loss: The radiant energy from phototherapy lights
can increase a patient's insensible water loss. Take appropriate measures to maintain
the patient's uid balance while administering phototherapy.
• Skin Temperature: Phototherapy light may aect the temperature in thermoregulation
devices (incubator, radiant warmers or heated mattresses) and could result in raising
the patient's body temperature when the device is in use. It is recommended to use
an incubator, warmer or bassinet in skin controlled (servo) mode. Always monitor the
patient's temperature to avoid temperature uctuations during phototherapy as per
hospital policy.
• Reective Foils: Using reective foils to increase the ecacy of phototherapy may
cause hazardous increase in patient’s body temperature.
• Eye Protection: Do not look directly into the lamps. During treatment, always protect
the patient’s eyes with protective eyewear. Periodically, as per hospital protocol, verify
