Description

The BILICOCOON LIGHTBOX is an innovative phototherapy device designed to treat neonatal jaundice effectively. It serves infants under three months old, weighing less than 10 kg, by delivering targeted light therapy within the optimal absorption spectrum of bilirubin (430–490 nm). This precise light emission helps reduce elevated bilirubin levels, providing a safe and efficient treatment option for newborns.

Key Features

• Intensive and Homogeneous Irradiance: The device offers a consistent irradiance of 35 µW/cm²/nm, covering a large body surface area of 1200 cm². This ensures comprehensive treatment across the infant's skin.
• Optic Fiber Technology: Light is delivered through optic fibers, keeping electrical components away from the baby's skin for enhanced safety.
• Electronic Monitoring: The system monitors irradiance, exposure time, and total dose, allowing for controlled and effective therapy.
• Flexible Design: Lightweight and transportable, the BILICOCOON LIGHTBOX is suitable for use in both hospital and home environments.
• Parent-Infant Interaction: Designed to facilitate bonding, it allows therapy to continue safely during activities like breastfeeding.

System Configurations

• Nest System: Tailored for preterm or low birth weight babies, it adapts flexibly for use in kangaroo care and incubators.
• Bag System: Intended for term babies, providing 360° light exposure with two pads. Available in various sizes to accommodate different needs.

Operation and Controls

• User-Friendly Interface: Features an on/off switch, a display for remaining hours, and controls to set running time up to 99.5 hours.
• Indicators: Includes signals for treatment status, pad connection, overheating, fan failure, and LED failure.

Setup and Use

• Essential Components: Requires a Bilicocoon unit, disposable mattress cover, and baby eye protection.
• Secure Setup: Proper connection of pads is crucial to prevent light leakage and maintain treatment efficacy.

Maintenance and Cleaning

• Cleaning Protocol: Unplug and wait 5 minutes before cleaning. Use detergent or disinfectant, ensuring optical components remain undamaged.
• Single-Use Covers: Pad covers are disposable, and deeper cleaning should be followed by thorough air drying.

Safety Notes

• Eye Protection: Essential for the infant during use.
• Skin Condition: Should not be used on damaged skin.

The BILICOCOON LIGHTBOX offers a comprehensive solution for managing neonatal jaundice, combining advanced technology with practical design to support both clinical and home care settings.
