The BiliSoft 2.0 Phototherapy System provides light therapy for the treatment of indirect hyperbilirubinemia, commonly known as neonatal jaundice, during the newborn period in a hospital or home setting. The BiliSoft 2.0 Phototherapy System emits a narrow band of blue light considered to be the most effective in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia.
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 fibreoptic-light source that connects through a flexible fibreoptic cable to a transparent 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. This device can be suitable for home-use.
