Setup - Flat Neonatal Panel

This section explains how to prepare a baby for a phototherapy treatment using the flat neonatal fiber optic light panel.

The fiber optic panel must NOT be covered by anything except with the disposable cover provided. Any other type of cover could cause a reduction in light intensity. The setup instructions must be followed exactly.

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. Slide the vertical section of the T, with the light facing the sheer side of the cover, onto the panel.

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 or hook and loop tab around the baby’s midsection.
	Then, wrap the side with the tape or hook and loop tab over the

infant. If using tape, peel off the protective cover on the tab, and
secure it. Be sure the vest is snug.	Positioning the baby on the
