Instructions for Use

Your child’s provider has recently identified that based on lab results,  your child has high levels of bilirubin in his or her blood cells. This condition is common in newborns. It can be easily treated at home with a process called phototherapy.

 

Watch a Training Video

The equipment you’ve been sent home with is called the BiliSoft 2.0 Phototherapy System. The following video will explain how to use this product. The instruction manual is also available for you to access.

Clinic Follow-Up

During your child’s phototherapy treatment, blood tests will be done each day to check bilirubin levels that show whether continued treatment is necessary. These labs will be drawn at the location that you and your provider have decided on.

Your clinic will let you know when your child’s bilirubin levels have returned to a normal range and phototherapy is no longer needed. Please use ‘Instructions for Return’ below to have your equipment picked up when treatment is complete.
