For
more than three decades, phototherapy has been the standard for
treating neonatal jaundice. The benefits of utilizing phototherapy
devices instead of sunlight include: 24 hour treatment, greater
efficacy by narrowing the spectral range to 430-490nm, improved
temperature regulation due to smaller exposed surface area, and
the elimination of harmful UV irradiation to the patient from sunlight
exposure.
Illumination Technologies' BiliBee LED Phototherapy system is revolutionizing
the phototherapy industry by providing a completely portable and
maintenance free system by eliminating the fiber optic cable found
on competitors phototherapy systems.
The BiliBee LED Phototherapy System is a portable, battery-operated
or AC powered device that utilizes an LED illuminator pad for the
treatment of neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia). Treatment is
applied by placing the patient on the BiliBee LED pad while a disposable
sheath separates the infant from the pad’s surface. Treatment
is intended to be applied 24 hours a day until the infants bilirubin
levels have been effectivly lowered to an acceptable level according
to AAP guidelines.
Whether using the AC power supply at home - the battery pack on
the go - the BiliBee LED provides intense treatment wherever it’s
needed. The product is so convenient that both mother and infant
will forget its there.
