General Information
This manual describes how to checkout, operate and maintain the Ohmeda BiliBlanket
Plus High Output Phototherapy System. It also describes for the technically competent
person how to service the BiliBlanket Plus High Output.
Keep this manual available for answering questions which may arise.
Description
The new BiliBlanket Plus High Output pad, which can be identified by the gray cable,
provides higher intensity levels than the original BiliBlanket Plus High Output pad with the
white cable. Both pads can be used with the BiliBlanket Plus High Output or BiliBlanket
Plus High Output light source box, however, the pad with the white cable will provide lower
intensity levels.
The Ohmeda 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.
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 pneu-
mothoraces.
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.
Light intensity may be selected by the front panel brightness rotary control. Control
range is from 19± 4.75 µW/cm2/nm at full counter clockwise to 45± 11.25 µW/cm2/nm
at full clockwise with a medium detent at 32± 8 µW/cm2/nm. See Light Output Measure-
ment Procedures in Section 4 for precise light output measurement.
Mode select
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.
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.
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 photo-
therapy 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 w Do not use the BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System in the
presence of flammable anesthetics; a possible explosion hazard exists
under these conditions.
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 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 light pad assemblies or transilluminator cables. Light pads or
transilluminators from other manufacturers can affect performance and may
damage the unit.
Using any lamp other than that recommended and distributed by Ohmeda 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.
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.
w Do not allow the fiber optic cable, pad or transilluminator to rub on sharp or
abrasive surfaces. The protective coverings may be damaged.
w Observe the following fiber optic cable and pad assembly and transilluminator
guidelines:
• If you hang the fiber optic cable and pad or transilluminator assembly for tempo-
rary storage on an IV pole, door, wall hook or similar item, do not pull the cable
when removing it for use. Carefully lift the cable free of obstructions when ready
to use it.
• Do not lay the fiber optic cable or transilluminator where it could be crushed.
• Do not place anything on the fiber optic cable or transilluminator.
Not observing the guidelines may cause excessive stress and may:
• damage the cable’s outer protective conduit,
• damage the cable’s optical fibers,
• decrease light intensity at the light pad or transilluminator.
Checkout procedure
1. Place the light source on a flat, level surface (or use the mounting slide bracket) to
locate the light source within a few feet of the treatment location.
2. Verify that the air circulation vents on the sides of the light source are unobstructed.
The air filter should be free from excessive amounts of lint.
3. Examine the power cord, fiber optic cable and transilluminator cable for obvious
signs of damage. Replace them if they are damaged.
4. Connect the power cord to the light source first and then to the line power supply.
5. Fully engage the fiber optic cable connector or transilluminator into the light source
port.
CAUTION w Do not scratch or soil the light-input end of the connector cable. Do not put
sharp or heavy objects on the fiber optic pad, vest or connecting cable.
6. Select “|” on the power switch to turn the power on. The green power indicator light
will light.
7. Using the brightness selector switch on the front panel, select any light intensity and
ensure that light is being emitted from the pad.
8. Select “O” on the power switch to turn the power off.
WARNING w A hot surface is exposed when the fiber optic cable is disconnected from
the light source port. Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the light
source port whether the lamp is on or off.
WARNING w If there is a concern about exposure to direct light from the light pad,
cover the patient’s eyes when using the BiliBlanket High Output Plus
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.

WARNINGS w The light source unit is not waterproof. Locate the unit where it will not be
exposed to liquids. Liquids that enter the unit can damage it and create
an electric shock hazard.
w Never place the light source inside the infant compartment of a incubator,
warmer or bassinet; these conditions expose the infant to possible injury.
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.
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.
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.
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 revi-
sion of this service manual which is clearly and thoroughly understood.

terminals one at a time from the module, attaching each one to the same location
on the replacement module. Be sure to match the wire placement exactly. Install a
new cable tie (if one was removed) to hold the terminals to the replacement mod-
ule.
7. Insert the module replacement into the chassis. Make sure the labels face toward
the outside of the light source.
9. Perform the electrical safety procedures detailed near the end of this section.
10. Perform the checkout procedure detailed in section 2/Operation before placing the
BiliBlanket Plus High Output in service.
2. Place the light source in its vertical position. Remove the four cover screws and
washers.
3. Gently slide the cover off, pulling it back away from the bezel, being careful not to
scratch the finished surfaces.
5. Remove the four screws that secure the fan and remove the fan.
6. Remove the two screws on the bezel and the screw on the mode select slide lever,
and remove the bezel.
7. Loosen the two set screws on the brightness control knob and remove the knob.
10. Remove the nut on the potentiometer and remove the potentiometer.
12. Remove the hour meter by removing its two mounting screws.
14. Perform the electrical safety procedures detailed near the end of this section.
15. Perform the checkout procedure detailed in section 2/Operation before placing the
BiliBlanket Plus High Output in service.
2. Place the light source on its rear panel so the front bezel is facing up and can be
easily accessed.
3. Note the exact placement of the label on the bezel. With a pointed instrument,
gently pry and lift up a corner of the label enough to grasp it with your fingers.
6. Carefully center the cutout(s) of the replacement label over the component
opening(s) on the bezel, aligning the label corners properly. Press the whole label
into place.
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.
The measured light output of the BiliBlanket High Output is an average of the irradi-
ated light over the lighted portion of the pad.
With the Light Source set on the High setting the average light emitted from the pad
should be 45 µw/cm2/nm ±25%. 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 with a light meter designed to measure light in the 400 to 520 nm range
with a center wavelength of 450 nm and a bandwidth of 60 nm. Light meters with
other bandwidths or center frequencies may yield different light output values. See
Figure 4-3 for details.
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.
† The six point average has been empirically demonstrated to approximate the over all pad light output accurately.
