Blanket/pad infant phototherapy unit

Definition

A device designed to emit a blue light in the visible wavelength of around 425-475 nm to treat neonatal jaundice (or hyperbilirubinemia). It consists of a light source that connects to a blanket-like wrap or pad which emits the light and covers or encloses the neonate's body. Exposure to this device will alter the bilirubin through photo oxidation and configurational and structural isomerization allowing the body function to dispose of it naturally. It is intended for use in the home and a clinical setting.
