Patient Setup - Wrap-Around Panel

This section explains how to prepare a baby for a phototherapy treatment using the wrap-around
fiberoptic light panel.
This panel provides full coverage. It is most commonly used on patients at
home.
1. Insert the panel into a disposable or single-patient use cover with the
light facing the sheer side of the cover.
2. Put a T-shirt on the baby and roll it up from the bottom until it fits
comfortably under the baby's arms.
3. Place the covered panel under the baby's torso, positioning it so it is
under the baby's armpits.
4. Wrap the panel around the baby as shown in the illustration. Use the
tape or Velcro tabs to secure the panel around the baby.
5. If the cover becomes soiled, discard it (disposable) or replace it with a
clean one and wash the soiled cover (cloth).
For a larger or more active baby, you may want to tape the panel
to the baby's diaper.
To be sure the panel is not wrapped too tightly, insert your finger
between the panel and the baby's body. Your finger should fit
easily.
You may wrap your baby in a blanket or put the baby in a
sleeper.

Patient Setup - Flat Neonatal Panel

This section explains how to prepare a baby for a phototherapy treatment using the flat neonatal
fiberoptic light panel.
This panel is ideal for preemie or underweight infants; it may also be used on
full term infants.
1. The protective cover for the neonatal panel is a T-vest. Insert the panel in the
vertical section of the T with the light facing the sheer side of the cover.
2. Lay the covered panel on a flat surface. Be sure the light emitting side is
facing up.
3. Position the baby's chest or back directly on the panel. The cable connected to
the panel should be between the baby's legs.
4. Secure the T-vest to the baby by first wrapping the side without the tape
around the baby's midsection. Then, wrap the side with the tape tab over the
infant, peel off the protective cover on the tab, and secure it. Be sure the vest
is snug.
