natus neoBLUE cozy Operating Instructions Manual

1. ATTENTION: Cover the baby’s eyes with protective

eye shields prior to initiating phototherapy.

2. Place the baby (unclothed) in the neoBLUE cozy

device on top of the covered mattress.
Note: The baby’s head should be positioned at the

curved end of the device. The baby should be
placed with his/her back against the mattress.

A blanket may be placed over the baby for
added warmth.

Rolled up blankets, head protectors
or bumpers can be placed within the
device as needed. Ensure that they
do not compromise phototherapy
treatment to the baby. Ensure that

blankets are not blocking vents.

3. Turn on the phototherapy device by moving the

power switch to the ON “I” position.

Note: If the surface temperature of the LED panel

becomes too warm, the phototherapy light will
automatically shut off as the ventilation fan continues to
operate. A red blinking light will alert you to check the
air vents and ensure that they are not obstructed. Once
the temperature has decreased, the blue LEDs will
automatically turn back on; however, the red flashing
light will remain on. To inactivate the blinking light,
power off the neoBLUE cozy system and then power
it back on.

Note: Turn off the neoBLUE cozy light when feeding or
diapering the baby.

4. Upon completion of administering phototherapy, turn

off the neoBLUE cozy device (move power switch to
Standby “ ” position).

1. Plug the power supply into the base of the

neoBLUE cozy device. Route the power cord

of the neoBLUE cozy device so that it lies out­ side the vicinity of the baby and is plugged
into a grounded (3-prong) power outlet.

The channel in the base of the enclosure can
be used to route the cable to the head of
the device.

2. Place the neoBLUE cozy device in an

enclosure (e.g., bassinet). The bassinet’s
mattress may be removed prior to placing the
neoBLUE cozy device.

3. Position the neoBLUE cozy device so that

the air vents are not covered by blankets or
clothing or positioned against obstructing
surfaces.

4. Place the disposable mattress cover over

the neoBLUE cozy mattress.

Use only the mattress and covers supplied
with the device to ensure proper delivery
of light to the baby.

5. Place the covered neoBLUE cozy mattress

into the neoBLUE cozy system so that it
lies flat.

Operating Instructions

neoBLUE® cozy LED PhotothEraPy ovErviEw

The neoBLUE cozy LED Phototherapy System is a lightweight and portable device that is positioned underneath the baby to deliver phototherapy via blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). The neoBLUE cozy system consists of an
enclosed LED light panel, a mattress, a disposable mattress cover, and a power supply. The blue LEDs emit light in the range of 400 – 550 nm (peak wavelength 450-470 nm). This range corresponds to the peak absorption of light
by bilirubin, and is thus considered to be the most effective for the treatment of newborn jaundice.

Warning! The device should not be used on its own outside of an enclosure. There is a potential for the baby to roll off the device.

Warning! The device uses ambient air to keep the LEDs cool. Do not use the device if the ambient temperature is warmer than 30ºC (86ºF).

USE with PatiEnt EncLoSUrES SUch aS BaSSinEtS anD raDiant warmErS

The neoBLUE cozy device must be placed within a patient enclosure. If blankets are used, ensure they are not blocking the vents on the exterior of the neoBLUE cozy device.

USE with an incUBator

The neoBLUE cozy device can be used in incubators under certain conditions.

Warning! Placement within an incubator: The light is not designed to be used in an oxygen enriched environment. Only use in the presence of room oxygen.

The operating temperature for the neoBLUE cozy device is 20-30o C. Though the device will initially operate in warmer conditions when new, use in warmer environments will shorten the
life of the LED panel. Monitor patient temperature when used in warmer environments.

SUrfacE arEa covEragE

The infant should be placed in the supine position on the neoBLUE cozy device. If additional surface area coverage is required, neoBLUE overhead lights may be used in conjunction with the neoBLUE cozy device.

The light intensity output of the neoBLUE device is measured at Natus prior to shipment with the Ohmeda BiliBlanket® Meter. Because your facility may use a different photometer to measure the light intensity output, it is
necessary to understand how your reading correlates to the Ohmeda meter reading. The following table provides a light intensity output conversion chart.
