How To Use the BiliBlanket

Before You Start

  • Ensure the arrow symbols on the pad connector and the control box are aligned, then connect them. When disconnecting, pull the metal collar toward the light pad to disengage it.
  • Put the light pad in the disposable cover. The end of the cover that does not contain the velcro straps and the LED side of the light pad should be touching. If you fold the light pad and insert it, it would be easier. If the cover gets dirty during use, discard it and use a new one.
  • Install eye protection on your baby’s eyes.

How to Place Your Baby

  • Place your baby into the light emitting area of the light pad. Ensure the light pad is already wrapped with the disposable cover. When placing your baby on the light pad, be sure his back and the temperature sensor are aligned.
  • After wrapping the light pad around your baby, fix it with velcro. The power cord should be facing the floor.

How To Operate

  • Press and hold the power button for about 1 second to turn the power ON or OFF. When booting, the total run time is displayed at the bottom of the LCD display.

Step By Step Guide

  • Unpack all the equipment from the container. Start by placing the power box and the BiliSoft light-box on a firm surface. It needs to be close enough for the black cable to reach your baby’s cot.

  • Slide the light-pad right into the disposable BiliSoft pad cover. Make sure that the light-pad faces upwards. This is the side of the pad that goes against the mattress and this is the side of the pad that should lie along your baby’s back. The wrap-around closure tabs need to be at the back of the light-panel.

  • Plug the BiliSoft light-pad into the BiliSoft light-box by gently pushing the black cable into the connection. You will feel it click into place.

  • Dress your baby in just their nappy so that plenty of light can get to the baby's bare skin. Connect the power plug of the biliblanket power source to the safety box. Plug the power adapter safety box into a powerpoint on the wall and switch it on. Switch on the biliblanket power source. The blue light should now be working.

  • Place your baby on the light-panel. Make sure your baby’s head is above the light-panel. Wrap the straps of the BiliSoft pad cover around your baby’s stomach and chest. They should be tight enough to hold the light-panel in position comfortably.

  • You can place other blankets over the top of, or around your baby if needed.

  • The power unit doesn’t run on batteries, so you need to have it plugged into household power during treatment. And you need to be home for the whole treatment time.

  • For safe sleeping, remember to follow safe sleep guidelines, and always place your baby on their back, with their head uncovered, at the foot end of the cot.
