This advanced medical device is suitable for use in both hospital and home care settings, providing flexibility and convenience for parents and healthcare providers.

Key Features

• Effective Phototherapy:
• Emits light within the bilirubin absorption spectrum (430–490 nm) with a peak between 455–465 nm.
• Provides intensive and homogeneous irradiance, ensuring effective treatment.

• Utilizes fiber optic technology to safely deliver light from an LED source, keeping electricity away from the infant’s skin.

• Safety and Comfort:

• The fiber optic pads do not emit heat, reducing the risk of burns or overheating.
• Minimizes residual blue light to lessen disturbance to parents and clinical staff.

• Large therapeutic surface area for full-body coverage, enhancing treatment efficacy.

• Design and Compatibility:

• Soft, flexible, woven fiber optic fabric ensures even light distribution without hot spots.
• Lightweight and transportable, allowing for easy integration with incubators, baby warmers, and blankets.
• Supports skin-to-skin contact, fostering parent-child bonding during therapy.

• Kangaroo System:

• Designed for full-term babies with comprehensive coverage.

Monitoring and Maintenance

• Equipped with electronic monitoring for irradiance, exposure time, and total dose emitted.
• Pre-calibrated light intensity, with each generator paired with a specific pad.
• Eye shields are necessary during therapy, and temperature monitoring is recommended.
• Easy cleaning and disinfection of pads with hospital-grade disinfectants.

Clinical Use and Compliance
