ADVANCED PHOTOTHERAPY LAMP

Device typeOverhead infant phototherapy unit: A mains electricity (AC-powered) device designed to emit a blue light in the visible wavelength of around 425-475 nm to treat neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia). It consists of an overhead lamp consisting of several, daylight, cool white, blue, or special blue fluorescent light tubes and a Plexiglas shield placed between the phototherapy lights and the newborn to filter out ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Exposure to this device will alter the bilirubin through photo-oxidation, and configurational and structural isomerization, allowing the body to dispose of it naturally. It will typically have a built-in timer, but some may have a separate timer unit connected.
