The BiliBee LED

The BiliBee LED is a highly-portable device that utilizes an LED illuminator pad for the treatment of neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia).

Revolutionizing the Phototherapy Industry

For more than three decades, phototherapy has been the standard for treating neonatal jaundice. The benefits of utilizing phototherapy devices instead of sunlight include: 24 hour treatment, greater efficacy by narrowing the spectral range to 430-490nm, improved temperature regulation, and the elimination of harmful UV irradiation to the patient from sunlight exposure. The BiliBee LED is a highly-portable device that utilizes an LED illuminator pad for the treatment of neonatal jaundice (hyperbilirubinemia). Treatment is applied by placing the patient on the BiliBee LED pad while a disposable sheath separates the infant from the pad’s surface. Treatment is intended to be applied 24 hours a day until the infant’s bilirubin levels have been effectively lowered to an acceptable level according to AAP guidelines.

AAP GUIDELINES FOR PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT

• Irradiance level of at least 30 ±10µ W/cm²/nm
• Wavelength between 430 nm to 490 nm
• Larger surface area especially for combating extremely high bilirubin levels
• The distance between the infant and the light source is critical to the Spectral Irradiance Level

KEY ELEMENTS FOR PHOTOTHERAPY EQUIPMENT

• Irradiance Intensity
• Light Spectrum
• Surface Area Coverage
• Distance
