Phototherapy - Dräger RH 600 Notice D'utilisation

Phototherapy

To reduce risk of hyperthermie you may use photo-
therapy in combination with the RH 600 infant radiant
heater.
Otherwise, risk of inducing hypothermia in the undressed
infant.
Example: Wall-mounted RH 600 with Babytherm 8000 WB
and Photo-Therapy 4000
Push the stand of the phototherapy unit under the
frame of the infant bed, e.g. Babytherm 8000 WB.
Tilt the lamp housing towards the bed.
Adjust the height of the phototherapy unit: minimum
clearance between the lower edge of the lamp body
and the patient: 0.3 metres.
Position the lamp housing so that the radiant heat
reaches the patient unimpeded.
Follow the specific Instructions for Use of the
phototherapy units.
If operating the radiant heater in »Man« mode:
Reduce the heater output level by 3 steps
compared to operation without phototherapy.
Using the phototherapy units will result in increasing the
temperature of the infant.
Monitor the core temperature of the infant.
