4.C Verification of the Irradiance Value
Warning
Prior to insertion of the Pad in the disposable, measure the irradiance value on the
Pad lighting surface.
If this step is neglected, there is a risk of under-exposure –leading to an ineffective
treatment –or a risk of over-exposure.
Recommended Radiometer: BiliBlanket Lightmeter II from Ohmeda (General Electrics). For more
information on how to use the radiometer refer to its instructions for use.

The blue light emission is stable from the session start: irradiance measurements can be taken as soon as
the phototherapy session is active.
1. Remove the Receptor Cap (1)
2. Switch On the Radiometer using the ON/OFF switch (2) on the side of the device as in the picture. Check
that the Hold-Run (3) is released (i.e. the display reading is not frozen). In case the display is frozen push
the Hold-Run to release it.
3. Measure the blue light from the environment while the
Device is turned off. Place the radiometer with the Light
receptor dome (4) oriented upward as in the picture on the
right. The displayed value should be lower than 1 μW∙cm-
2∙nm-1.
4. Connect the Pad to the Light Box, switch the Device on and launch a test session. The Pad now emits
blue light. See section 4.E.
5. To make a measurement place the light receptor dome (4)
in contact with the surface as in the picture –in this
position the user looks at the back of the radiometer.
6. Place the light receptor dome on the measurement point
n° 1 as in the picture
7. Leave the light receptor dome in this position for few
seconds.
8. Press the Hold-Run (3) which freezes the measurement displayed on the screen.
9. Turn the radiometer, read and note the value displayed on the screen (5).
10. Push the Hold-Run (3) again to unfreeze the displayed measure.
11. Repeat steps 5 to 10 for the 7 other measuring points as shown in the pictures.

For the Nest Pad
Consider the 8 measuring points as identified below
For the Bag Pad
Consider the 4 measuring points on each
small Pad as identified below (8 measuring
points totally)
12. Calculate the mean value over the eight measures. This value should be in the range defined in the table
below.
Average spectral irradiance (I - µW∙cm-²∙nm-1)
over the eight points
Conclusion
38 < I < 43m
Optimal Irradiancen
I < 38 or I > 43
Out of specification –refer to Section 5.F
“Maintenance Operations”
Important
Refer to section 5.E in case the irradiance value is outside of the defined range and inform
the manufacturer.
Important
The use of a BiliCocoon™ system with a mean irradiance value exceeding the defined range
upper limit, may deteriorate the Pad’s optical fibers.
4.D Setup of the Disposable and Positioning of the Infant
Warning
For any information on the Disposable and its use, please refer to the last version of
the Instructions for Use of the BiliCocoon™ Disposable.
The BiliCocoon™ Disposable is not intended to be used with a phototherapy
treatment system other than the BiliCocoon™.
Warning
The BiliCocoon™ Disposable is a single use, single-patient medical device. It should be
used respecting the usual hygiene precautions. There is indeed a cross-contamination risk
if the Disposable is used for more than one patient.
Never place the infant directly on the Pad. Always use the Disposable specifically designed
