General Precautions

IMPORTANT CLINICAL INFORMATION

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE

ο

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?

when utilizing

this device with all infants.

Special attention should be

given to

sanitation and

skin integrity.

 

*

Observe

color,

rashes,

excoriation

 

+

Clean

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? and various clinical studies have produced inconsistent conclusions concerning the effectiveness of

prophylactic phototherapy treatment 45.

Description

The Ohmeda BiliBlanket Plus Phototherapy System uses a fiber optic cable to deliver light from a high intensity lamp to a woven fiber optic pad. The pad is placed in a disposable cover that is in contact with the patient. The patient is exposed to light in the ideal 400 to 550 nanometer range for phototherapy treatment.

On units

with the

transilluminator option,

unfiltered

light in the visible

spectrum travels

through

a flexible

light pipe to appear at

the tip of

the transilluminator

cable. The light

from the cable is used to facilitate vascular sticks or injections. It is also used to find pneumothoraces.

The

BiliBlanket

Plus

Phototherapy system

consists of a light

source unit

and

a

light pad

with

a four foot long

fiber

optic

cable.

The

light

source

unit contains

a lamp,

light filters,

a variable

power

supply

for

the

light source, a

cooling

system

and

overheating

protec-

tion

near

the

lamp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

light

source

lamp

is

a

high

intensity,

tungsten halogen bulb with a built-in reflector.

The

reflector

is

coated

with

a dichroic

surface

which

reduces

the infrared

energy

transmitted. This bulb is specifically manufactured for use with the BiliBlanket Plus.

Although there will be a slight degradation over time, the bulb will maintain approxi- mately the same light intensity throughout its life.

6600 0228 000

04/22/96

1/General Information

A light filter, positioned in front of the lamp, rejects light outside the 400 to 550 nanom-

eter range. This filter blocks nearly all ultra-violet and infrared light; only the blue light is allowed to pass. This filtered light is focused on the inlet of the fiber optic cable.

Any

light

intensity

may be

selected

by the front panel brightness rotary control. Table

1-1

shows

the light

output

values at

the low, center and high positions.

Supply

power

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power

for the

light

source unit

can be

supplied by

any

standard

AC mains

power

source

at either 50 or 60 Hz that have

voltages in

the

range:

90

- 132

or

180

- 264.

Power

enters

the

light source

through

a receptacle that has

an

integral

power

switch.

Cooling

A fan cools the light source unit. A thermal cutout switch located next to the light-filter protects the light source unit and fiber optic cable or transilluminator from overheating.

Fiber optic cable

The

fiber

optic cable

contains

2400

individual

plastic

fibers

which

transmit

the

light

from

the

light

source

to the

light

pad.

The

light

pad

is

constructed

by

weaving

these

fibers

into a mat. This patented process produces a

pad with light over the entire surface.

 

These

fibers

are

randomized

in

the

cable

to

eliminate any

local

intensity

gradients

due

to bulb hot spots, dust on the

filter,

dust

on

the cable

end,

etc.

This allows

the

nearly

uniform, continuous blanket of light. A disposable protective pad

cover

is

 

provided

to

reduce the risk of cross-contamination and make the patient more comfortable.

 

 

Disposable

cover

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The disposable cover is designed

for

use

with

both

premature

and full-term infants.

The

infant lies directly on the disposable-covered

pad

without

any

method

of

attachment

between

the

pad

and

the

infant.

1/General Information

Disposable vest

A disposable vest is designed to secure the fiber optic pad to the infant. With the disposable vest, it is possible to hold and nurse the infant while continuing

phototherapy treatment. The disposable cover should be used for premature infants and full-term infants who can’t tolerate having the vest secured around the midsection.

Transilluminator

The transilluminator light pipe contains plastic fibers which transmit light from the light source to the tip.

Using the BiliBlanket Plus Phototherapy System

The disposable cover is designed for use with both premature and full-term infants. The

 

infant lies

directly on the

covered

pad

without

any

method of

attachment

between the

 

pad

and

the

infant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

А

If there

is a concern about

exposure

to direct

light

from the

light pad,

 

 

cover the patient’s eyes when

using

the

BiliBlanket

Plus Phototherapy

 

 

System

to shield

them or

when

the BiliBlanket

Plus

is

used

in conjunction

with conventional phototherapy lights. Eye patch use with the BiliBlanket Plus may not be necessary under these conditions:

1.

When

using the

vest.

 

 

2.

When

the

pad is

kept against the

patient’s

back.

3.

When

the

patient

is clothed after

applying

the pad to the patient’s chest

or abdomen.

The disposable vest secures the fiber-optic pad to the infant. For premature and fullterm infants who cannot tolerate having the vest secured around the midsection, the

disposable

cover

should

be used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

infant,

along

with

the

light

pad,

may

be covered

or wrapped

in a

blanket.

The

infant

will continue to receive effective phototherapy treatment as long

as

the disposable-

covered,

light-emitting

section

of

the

pad

remains in

contact

with

the

skin.

 

 

 

The

disposable cover

should

be

the

only

material between the light-emitting

side

of the

pad

and

the

infant's skin. If the disposable cover becomes

soiled,

it

should

be replaced

with

a

new

cover. The disposable cover should also be replaced

between

patients.
