Using The Unit - GE BiliSoft Operation And Maintenance Manual

CAUTION:
Do not allow the fiberoptic cable or light pad to rub on sharp or abrasive
surfaces. The protective coverings and optical fibers may be damaged.
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the fiberoptic light pad, fiberoptic cable protective covering,
and optical fibers, observe these guidelines. Failure to do so could decrease light
intensity at the light pad:
•
Do not lay or hang the fiberoptic cable where it could be crushed, this could
damage the cable's outer protective cover and the optical fibers.
•
Do not bend the fiberoptic light pad or cable at a sharp angle.
•
Do not place anything on the fiberoptic cable.
If the fiberoptic cable or light pad is ripped, punctured or otherwise damaged, it must
be taken out of service and replaced.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch, touch or soil the fiberoptic lenses at the end of the fiberoptic
cable.
WARNING:
The light box is not waterproof. Locate the unit where it will not be exposed to liquids.
Liquids that enter the unit can damage it and create an electric shock hazard.
WARNING:
Never place the light box inside the infant compartment of an incubator, warmer or
bassinet; these conditions expose the patient to possible injury.
