Intended Use
The BiliSoft Phototherapy System provides light therapy for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia, commonly know as neonatal jaundice, during the newborn period in the hospital or home setting. The Bili-Soft Phototherapy System emits a narrow band of blue light considered to be the most effective in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia.
Device Story
Mobile phototherapy device for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia; delivers high-intensity blue light via LEDs to fiber optic pad. System comprises light source box and fiber optic pad (two sizes). LEDs emit narrow-band blue light; no significant UV or IR energy. Features include over-temperature indicator with automatic LED shutoff and hour meter. Used in hospital or home; operated by clinicians or caregivers. Disposable covers prevent cross-contamination. Light therapy reduces bilirubin levels; benefits patient by treating jaundice without excessive warming or UV exposure.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia with phototherapy is a well-established clinical practice.
Technological Characteristics
LED-based light source; fiber optic pad delivery. Universal voltage 90-264 VAC. Over-temperature protection with automatic shutoff. Hour meter. Disposable hypoallergenic, latex-free pad covers. Non-sterile. No UV or IR emission.
Indications for Use
Indicated for neonates with hyperbilirubinemia (neonatal jaundice) in hospital or home settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A neonatal phototherapy unit is a device used to treat or prevent hyperbilirubinemia (elevated serum bilirubin level). The device consists of one or more lamps that emit a specific spectral band of light, under which an infant is placed for therapy. This generic type of device may include supports for the patient and equipment and component parts.

#### Device Names
Classification name: Unit, Neonatal Phototherapy Common Name: Phototherapy light, Bili Light Trade Name: BiliSoft™ Phototherapy System
#### Predicate Device Information
The BiliSoft phototherapy System is substantially equivalent to the following, legally marketed products:
- -Ohmeda Medical, a division of Datex-Ohmeda- BiliBlanket Plus High Output Phototherapy System
- -Natus - neoBLUE LED Phototherapy
- Medela Bili Phototherapy Unit -
#### Indications for Use
The Bili-Soft Phototherapy System provides light therapy for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia, commonly know as neonatal jaundice, during the newborn period in the hospital or home setting. The Bil-Soft Phototherapy System emits a narrow band of blue light considered to be the most effective in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia.
#### Product Description
The Bili-Soft Phototherapy System is a mobile phototherapy device that delivers high intensity blue light using blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) that transmit light to a fiber optic pad.
The device consists of a light source box and one of two different size fiber optic pads. The light source operates in a single light intensity mode and includes features such as an over temperature indicator with automatic LED shutoff and an hour meter to indicate life. The light source has an automatic universal voltage selection of 90-264 VAC at 47-63 Hz.
Fiber optic pad covers are made of a clear, medical grade, hypoallergenic and latex-free material. The smaller fiber optic pad emits an average output of 35 µW/cm-/nm through a typical snuggly/pad cover, and the larger fiber optic pad emits an average output of 50 µW/cm /nm through a typical snuggly/pad cover. Disposable fiber optic pad covers are available to help comfortably position the baby on the fiber optic pad and to prevent cross contamination of bodily fluids between infants.

LED's have very little light degradation over their lifetime with proper use and care. During normal operating conditions the device is expected to last for approximately 10,000 hours. Once the LED's have reached the end of their life a replaceable LED module is available for purchase. LED's emit no appreciable energy in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the spectrum, so there is no concern for UV exposure to the infant. In addition, LED's emit no significant energy in the infrared (IR) region of the spectrum; therefore there is no concern for excessive warming of the infant due to IR energy.
#### Performance Data
Since the treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia with phototherapy is a well establish clinical practice, clinical or animal testing to demonstrate safety and effectiveness is not necessary. The product has been subject to extensive bench testing, and the requirement of 21 CFR 820, Subpart C - Design Controls - were satisfied.
#### Sterilization Information
The BiliSoft Phototherapy system is not intended to be supplied sterile. Cleaning and disinfecting instructions can be found in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.
