OHMEDA Medical Biliblanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System (6600-0652-801)

Description

DELIVERED WITH THE POWER CORD
The phototherapy blanket is an alternative to standard phototherapy, which requires the infant to lie under fluorescent bulbs in a hospital incubator while wearing eye patches to prevent possible damage from the light rays. Infants' eyes are not exposed to light under BiliBlanket therapy, and they can be clothed. The blanket also provides more even lighting. The Ohmeda Biliblanket Plus consists of a halogen lamp in a vented metal housing, which also contains a small fan to disperse heat generated by the lamp. Illumination from the halogen bulb travels through 2400 optical fibers encased in a 1-m-long flexible plastic tube. The optical fibers terminate in a 10 × 15-cm woven pad about 0.64 cm thick. Because the light source is remote, the fiber optic pad generates no heat.
