distance from the baby of 15 in (38 cm) with a spot diameter of
8 in (20 cm).

lights because the light bulb is located in the light box, away from
the patient.

the light pipe easily. The light pipe delivers the light directly from the
light box to the patient.
-
Light Filters - Filter infrared and UV light that may be hazardous to the
patient’s eyes or thermal stability. Meets new rigorous regulations limiting
the extraneous UV and infrared light as listed in the newly implemented
IEC 601-2-50, issued 2000.

Product Details
The Giraffe® SPOT PT Lite™ consists of a lightweight light source unit
and an adjustable gooseneck that conveniently delivers therapeutic light
directly to the infant. A metal halide bulb in the light box provides the
light, which is transmitted through a light pipe in the flexible gooseneck.
Since the light bulb is not near the patient, the result is a cooler therapeutic
light than most other spot halogen phototherapy systems. UV and
infrared radiation are filtered from the light, reducing the risk of skin and
eye damage, as well as the hazards of hyperthermia and dehydration.
