General Precautions
IMPORTANT CLINICAL INFORMATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE
Care of the Skin

The skin serves as a protective barrier against chemical, mechanical, and biological insults.
The skin is also important in the regulation of body temperature and serves as a route of
water excretion, especially in premature infants. The introduction of new intensive-care
techniques has been associated with the increased survival of very small, premature
infants. The immaturity of the skin of the very low weight infants, coupled with excessive
instrumentation and handling, poses previously unrecognized problems for the nursing
care of these infants1.
Please read, evaluate and implement the following recommendations as appropriate:
1. Please refer to the following standard of skin care recommendations as given in the
literature2 when utilizing this device with all infants. Special attention should be given
to sanitation and skin integrity.
• Observe color, rashes, excoriation
• Clean skin with warm water
• Clean perineal area after stooling
• Change infant’s position every 2 hours
2. This device is intended only for the treatment of existing hyperbilirubinemia. Use
of this device for prophylactic treatment, particularly of premature infants, is not
recommended. These infants have extremely fragile skin3 and various clinical studies
have produced inconsistent conclusions concerning the effectiveness of prophylactic
phototherapy treatment 4, 5.

General Information
This manual describes how to checkout, operate and maintain the Ohmeda Medical
BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System. It also describes for the technically
competent person how to service the BiliBlanket Plus High Output.
Before using the BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System

• Read through sections one through three of this manual.
• Pay special attention to the Warnings and Cautions which appear in the manual.
• Read the User Responsibility statement located on the inside front cover; it describes
what is expected of the user to maintain a safe and accurate product.
• Read the Warranty; it describes Ohmeda Medical’s responsibility in case of a functional
defect.
Keep this manual available for answering questions which may arise.
Description
The Ohmeda Medical BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System uses a fiber optic
cable to deliver light from a high intensity lamp to a woven fiber optic pad. The pad is
placed in a disposable cover that is in contact with the patient. The patient is exposed
to light in the ideal 400 to 550 nanometer range for phototherapy treatment. Units are
available with two fiber optic pad sizes; the regular size High Output pad and the larger
MaxXL™ Bilipad.
On units with the transilluminator option, unfiltered light in the visible spectrum travels
through a flexible light pipe to appear at the tip of the transilluminator cable. The light
from the cable is used to facilitate vascular sticks or injections. It is also used to find
pneumothoraces.
The BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy system consists of a light source unit and
a light pad with a four foot long fiber optic cable. The light source unit contains a lamp,
light filters, a variable power supply for the light source, a cooling system and overheating
protection near the lamp.
The light source lamp is a high intensity, tungsten halogen bulb with a built-in reflector. The
reflector is coated with a dichroic surface which reduces the infrared energy transmitted.
This bulb is specifically manufactured for use with the BiliBlanket Plus High Output.
1-1
A light filter, positioned in front of the lamp, rejects light outside the 400 to 550 nanometer
range. This filter blocks nearly all ultra-violet and infrared light; only the blue light is allowed
to pass. This filtered light is focused on the inlet of the fiber optic cable.
Light intensity may be selected by the front panel brightness rotary control. For the regular
High Output pad control range is from 21 +7.35/-5.25 µW/cm2/nm at full counter clockwise
to 50 +17.5/-12.5 µW/cm2/nm at full clockwise. For the MaxXL Bilipad the control range

Mode select
Selects the operating mode ; phototherapy or transillumination. Using the Ohmeda Medical
transilluminator light pipe, the BiliBlanket Plus High Output System can be used as a
transilluminator.
Supply power
Power for the light source unit can be supplied by any standard AC mains power source at
either 50 or 60 Hz that have voltages in the range: 90 - 132 or 180 - 264. Power enters the
light source through a receptacle that has an integral power switch.
Cooling
A fan cools the light source unit. A thermal cutout switch located next to the light-filter
protects the light source unit and fiber optic cable or transilluminator from overheating.
Fiber optic cable
The fiber optic cable contains 2400 individual plastic fibers which transmit the light from
the light source to the light pad. The light pad is constructed by weaving these fibers into
a mat. This patented process produces a pad with light over the entire surface. These
fibers are randomized in the cable to eliminate any local intensity gradients due to bulb
hot spots, dust on the filter, dust on the cable end, etc. This allows the nearly uniform,
continuous blanket of light. A disposable protective pad cover is provided to reduce the risk
of cross-contamination and make the patient more comfortable.
Disposable cover
The disposable cover is designed for use with both premature and full-term infants. The
infant lies directly on the disposable-covered pad without any method of attachment
between the pad and the infant.
1-2
Disposable vest
A disposable vest is designed to secure the fiber optic pad to the infant. With the
disposable vest, it is possible to hold and nurse the infant while continuing phototherapy
treatment. The disposable cover should be used for premature infants and full-term infants
who can’t tolerate having the vest secured around the midsection.
Transilluminator
The transilluminator light pipe contains plastic fibers which transmit light from the light
source to the tip.

WARNING Do not use the BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System in the presence
of flammable anesthetics; a possible explosion hazard exists under these
conditions.
Factors which affect light output and life
Lamp light output and life are affected by various factors among which are:
• Lamp variations
• Brightness selector setting
• Vibration and mechanical shock
• Non-recommended lamp
Bulb variations
The light output from bulb to bulb may vary by as much as 10%.
Intensity setting
The bulb life will vary greatly with the intensity at which the light source is operated. For
example, operating at the lowest brightness setting may yield a nominal bulb life of as high
as 10,000 hours, but operating at the highest brightness setting may yield a nominal bulb
life of as low as 800 hours.
Vibration and mechanical shock
Vibration and mechanical shock will significantly reduce the bulb life. Care should be
taken when moving the light source. To maximize the bulb life, the light source should be
mounted or placed on a surface which is stable and not exposed to vibration.
CAUTIONS w Allow the light source to cool for a minimum of ten minutes before moving the light
source or changing the bulb.
w To ensure the proper operation and light intensity, replace the lamp only with the
proper lamp as listed in the Appendix. Use of other lamps will affect the performance of
and may result in damage to the BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System.
w Use only Ohmeda Medical light pad assemblies or transilluminator cables. Light pads
or transilluminators from other manufacturers can affect performance and may
damage the unit.
2-1
2/Operation
Non-recommended lamps
Using any lamp other than that recommended and distributed by Ohmeda Medical for
the BiliBlanket Plus High Output system will affect the performance of and may result in
damage to the light source or the fiber optic pad or transilluminator.
Checkout procedure before operation

Before operating the Ohmeda Medical BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System,
the following steps should be taken to ensure that the BiliBlanket Plus High Output will
provide effective phototherapy treatment or the transilluminator delivers the proper light.
This checkout procedure assumes that you are familiar with the unit’s controls.
CAUTIONS w Lamp life is greatly reduced if the lamp or the light source is subjected to shock or
bumping, or if the unit is moved while the bulb is hot. Allow the bulb to cool for at least
ten minutes before moving the unit.

Using the BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System

The disposable cover is designed for use with both premature and full-term infants. The
infant lies directly on the covered pad without any method of attachment between the pad
and the infant.
WARNING If there is a concern about exposure to direct light from the light pad, cover the
patient’s eyes when using the BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System
to shield them or when the BiliBlanket Plus High Output is used in conjunction with
conventional phototherapy lights. Eye patch use with the BiliBlanket Plus High
Output may not be necessary under these conditions:
1. When using the vest.
2. When the pad is kept against the patient’s back.
3. When the patient is clothed after applying the pad to the patient’s chest
or abdomen.
The disposable vest secures the fiber-optic pad to the infant. For premature and full-term
infants who cannot tolerate having the vest secured around the midsection, the disposable
cover should be used.
The infant, along with the light pad, may be covered or wrapped in a blanket. The infant
will continue to receive effective phototherapy treatment as long as the disposable-
covered, light-emitting section of the pad remains in contact with the skin.
The disposable cover should be the only material between the light-emitting side of the
pad and the infant’s skin. If the disposable cover becomes soiled, it should be replaced with
a new cover. The disposable cover should also be replaced between patients.

2/Operation
1. Mount the BiliBlanket Plus High Output System on a radiant warmer, incubator, or
stand, or place it so that it sits on a flat, solid surface within a few feet of the baby. The
light source can be placed flat on its side or upright.
2. Insert the fiber-optic pad into a new, disposable cover or vest. The white side of the
disposable vest goes over the clear illuminating side of the pad. Be sure to insert the
pad all the way in to the end of the vest/cover. See Figure 2-1.
3. Secure the cover or vest around the pad cable with the adhesive tabs. See Figure 2-1.
4. Connect the power cord to the light source and plug into a grounded electrical outlet.
5. Firmly place the fiber-optic cable connector into the light source port. Ensure that
there is no pressure or strain on the cable. The cable disconnects easily from the light
source as a safety precaution to help prevent the light source from being knocked over
when the cable is pulled beyond its length during treatment.
6. Lay the covered light pad on the mattress or other flat surface with illuminating side
(side without label) facing up. Place the infant’s back or chest directly on the white side
of the pad with the tip of the pad at the baby’s shoulders and the pad’s cable at the
infant’s feet. See Figure 2-2. Ensure that:
• as much of the infant’s skin is in direct contact with the lighted section of the pad
as is possible (diapers may be worn)
• there is nothing between the infant’s skin and the light pad other than the
disposable cover (clothing may be worn over the pad)
• the baby’s eyes are not directly exposed to the covered light pad.
7. When using the vest, wrap the strap section snug around the infant’s mid section to
hold the pad in position and secure it with the tape tabs. See Figure 2-3.
8. Set the brightness variable intensity knob on the front panel to the intensity level
prescribed.
9. Turn the power switch to on.
The baby may be clothed or bundled in a blanket and will continue to receive effective
phototherapy treatment as long as the lighted section of the pad remains in contact with
the skin (it is light from the pad penetrating the outer few millimeters of skin which results
in the isomerization of the bilirubin molecule). Using the vest, it is possible to hold and
nurse the infant while continuing treatment.
Important: Be sure that the maximum area of illumination is in contact with the patient’s skin.

Functional description
The BiliBlanket Plus High Output consists of the light source and the light-emitting pad with
a flexible cable. The light source can operate from 90-132 V or 180- 264 VAC power source
at either 50 or 60 Hz.
The light source consists of a lamp, light filters, a variable power supply and a cooling
system.
The pad assembly consists of a bundle of optical fibers with an inlet and coupler on one
end and the light pad on the other end. The inlet end is located at the focal point of the
light source. Light is transmitted through the length of the cable to the pad. The cable is
covered with a protective plastic outer jacket.
Using patented technology, the pad’s light fibers are woven into a flat configuration. The
design distributes light over the entire surface of the pad. Light intensity is determined by
the power of the light source, the length of the light cable and the size of the light pad.
The transilluminator light pipe contains plastic fibers which transmit light from the light
source to the tip.
4-3
4/Service
Light filtering
The lamp is a tungsten halogen bulb with an integral reflector. A light filter positioned
between the bulb and the fiber optic bundle essentially restricts light output distribution to
the 400 to 550 nanometer range. This filtered light is focused on the end of the fiber optic
cable that transmits the light to the pad.
Power supply
The power supply in the BiliBlanket Plus High Output is a universal input (90-132 V~, 180-
264 V~ @ 50/60 Hz) 15V DC output supply. There is a potentiometer to allow adjustment of
the output voltage. This DC voltage is connected to the small PCB and the bulb circuit.
Air Flow Failure
The bulb circuit consists of the bulb, the source and drain of the field effect transistor (FET),
Q1, and the thermostat. When excessive heat opens the thermostat, the current is diverted
from the bulb to the Air Flow Failure LED. See Figure 4-8 for the printed circuit board
schematic.
Light output control
The small PCB consists of a light output intensity control circuit. The LM556 dual timer (U1)
provides a pulse train to the gate of Q1. Light output is controlled by the duty cycle of this
pulse train, which controls the on time of the bulb. The duty cycle is varied by the intensity
potentiometer (Brightness Knob). The photodiode, D2, turns on the hour meter when the
bulb is on. See Figure 4-8 for the printed circuit board schematic.
System temperature
Air flow from a DC fan cools the system. Incoming air is filtered to remove lint. There is an
over-temperature thermal cutout switch near the light source end of the fiber optic cable.
This thermal cutout switch monitors the temperature and shuts off the light source if the
cooling system malfunctions.
CAUTION w Servicing of this product in accordance with this service manual should never be
undertaken without proper tools, test equipment and the most recent revision of this
service manual which is clearly and thoroughly understood.

Electrical safety procedures
Use approved equipment and techniques to test the unit’s ground continuity and leakage
current.
Ground continuity
Use a low range ohmmeter or electrical safety analyzer to measure the resistance between the
ground pin on the line cord plug and exposed metal surface of the unit. The ground resistance
must be less than 0.2 ohm*.
Leakage current
Follow the test equipment manufacturer’s directions to verify:
1. Less than 300 microamperes at 100/120 VAC (less than 500 microamperes at 220/230/240
VAC) measured with the ground intact for normal and reverse polarity at any exposed
metal surface.
2. Less than 300 microamperes at 100/120 VAC (less than 500 microamperes at 220/230/240
VAC) measured with the ground wire open for normal and reverse polarity at any exposed
metal surface.
* If measured from the ground pin of the power inlet module on the unit, it must be less than 0.1 ohm.
Light Output Measurement

Pad Light Output (Spectral Irradiance)
The measured light output of the BiliBlanket Plus High Output is an average of the irradiated
light over the lighted portion of the pad.
With the Light Source set on the High setting the average light emitted from the regular High
output pad should be 50 + 17.5/-12.5 µw/cm2/nm and from the MaxXL Bilipad should be 35
+12/-9 µw/cm2/nm**. The irradiated light is:
• An average of six points measured on the lighted portion of pad as shown in Figure 4-2
(average the center point twice). †
• Measured with an input line voltage of 90 - 132 or 180 - 264 VAC 50/60Hz.
** Measured using the Ohmeda Medical Biliblanket Light Meter, using other manufacturer's light meter may result in readings that do
not correspond to these specifications.
† The six point average has been empirically demonstrated to approximate the over all pad light output accurately.

Measurement Procedure
There are two methods to check the irradiance level – a center point check, which provides
approximate radiance values, and the more comprehensive 6-point check, which provides
more accurate radiance values.
To perform the center point check, select maximum light output using the switch on the
BiliBlanket light source front panel, place BiliBlanket Light Meter at the approximate center
of the pad and observe the measured irradiance:
For the BiliBlanket High Output Pad the value should be > 53 µW/cm2/nm
For the MaxXL Bilipad the value should be > 36 µW/cm2/nm
If the meter readings correspond to these values, you may use the unit without performing
the comprehensive 6-point check.
If the meter readings are lower than these values, perform the six-point check to ensure
adequate irradiance levels. If the irradiance levels are still lower than these values, see the
troubleshooting section of this manual for low output, or have the unit serviced.
6 Point Check
1. Be certain the checkout procedure for the Ohmeda Medical BiliBlanket has been
completed.
2. Position the BiliBlanket pad on a flat surface with the light-emitting side up.
3. Switch on the BiliBlanket light source and allow to warm up approximately 15 minutes.
4. Install the template on the light pad as shown in Figure 4-2, step 1, making sure that
the pad slides all the way into the template. Align the standard size pad with the
straight line cut through the universal template. Align the MaxXL Bilipad with the edge
of the universal template.
5. Using the brightness selector switch on the light source front panel, select the high
light intensity setting.
6. Turn on the BiliBlanket Meter.
7. Set the Hold/Run switch to the Run (j) position. The radiometer now performs
continuous irradiance measurements.
8. Using the template, place the radiometer's receptor dome in contact with the surface
area of the Illuminator pad, as shown in Figure 4-2, step 2.
9. After a few seconds, press the Hold/Run switch push button to set it to its inward Hold
(J) position. This freezes the display reading at the current spectral irradiance level
received from the pad. The radiometer may now be removed. The measured spectral
irradiance data is shown in the display window. Repeat the measurement for the five
locations as shown in Figure 4-2, step 3. To obtain the average irradiance value, add
the five readings together (A+B+C+D+E) and the center reading again (E), then divide
the sum by six [(A+B+C+D+E+E)/6].
4-12
4/Service
10. Switch off power to the BiliBlanket light source.
11. Switch off the radiometer power if no additional measurements are to be made.
Note: For the High Output pad, meter readings should be between 37.5 and 67.5 µw/
cm2/nm. For the Max XL Bilipad readings should be between 26 and 47 µw/cm2/nm.
Important: The Ohmeda Medical BiliBlanket Light Meter is calibrated with a traceable
tungsten lamp source. This calibration assures the accuracy of the meter with that
lamp standard. When measuring other types of light sources, the meter may not
accurately measure the specified spectral irradiance, as it is not calibrated for the
spectral distribution of that lamp. Refer to the recommendations provided by the
manufacturer on measuring technique and light meter specifications.
Over-range Error
If the measured irradiance exceeds the measuring range, "-0-" will blink to inform you that
an over range error has occurred.
With the Light Source set on the High, the transilluminator tip should be located 2 1/2
inches (6.35 cm) from the lux meter input. The reading should be 9000 +2250/-3150 lux.
