INTRODUCTION 3 Intended use The B’Bloo reference 1980 is an infant phototherapy unit with LEDs designed to treat hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice). It is intended for use in maternity departments, intensive care units and neonatal resuscitation units. This device is not intended for home use. The B’Bloo phototherapy unit can be used to treat infants during skin-to-skin sessions, in a cot or in closed or open incubators.
INTRODUCTION 4 General precautions for use Compliance with the general precautions indicated below is essential to ensure the safety of the newborn infant. DEVICE INSTALLATION As a result of the energy supplied, the phototherapy unit can disrupt equipment with its own heating system (e.g.

INTRODUCTION range, it is important to take into consideration the infant’s condition (weight, weight/body surface ratio, type of jaundice, etc.) and modify the ambient temperature of the air around the infant accordingly. If an increase in the infant’s temperature is observed, it may be necessary to temporarily switch to 50% irradiance with the B’Bloo.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1 Description of components The B’Bloo is an infant phototherapy unit with LEDs. The light is diffused through a pad containing optical fibres. It is composed of a control unit (1), and a fibreoptic pad (2). The control unit contains the LED light source and the control electronics.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION 2 Description of the user interface The B’Bloo is equipped with a timer used to set the exposure time. The phototherapy treatment is controlled by the timer. Therefore, the pad only lights up once a time has been set and treatment has been launched (see below). When the device is switched on by pressing the switch on the rear, the software version is displayed on the screen (1) and then the number of hours of use is displayed for 5 seconds.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION 3 Irradiance The irradiance of the B’Bloo reference 1980, measured using the Babyblue radiometer (device calibrated according to the DIN 5031 bilirubin absorption curve), is displayed in the graph below. The value in the centre of the illuminated zone and in contact with the phototherapy pad is greater than 3.5 mW/cm²...
START-UP START-UP 1 First start-up When the device is received at the user hospital, it is necessary to check that the delivery matches the order form and that it is in good overall condition. If the packaging is damaged, the transporter must be informed immediately. Incoming inspection It should be verified that the device is equipped with all its accessories and options and that the accompanying documentation is present.
START-UP 2 Set up Installation of the pad ref. 1985, of the cover ref. 1983 and installation in the sleeping bag ref. 1984 (option) The fibre optic pad is placed under the infant’s back. It is important to regularly check that the infant is properly centred on the irradiated zone.
START-UP Installation on the stand ref. 1982 or the arm ref. 1981 Check that fastening plate present B’Bloo control unit. View of the underneath of the control unit with its support plate. Installation of the control unit on the stand. Installation of the arm on the vertical rail.

START-UP Slide the B’Bloo control unit into the grooves of the stand fastening plate or arm, while pulling on the fixing pin. When the B’Bloo is correctly positioned on the stand or the arm, the fixing pin must be fully inserted and the control unit must be centred relative to the fastening plate.
START-UP 3 Recommendations before each use It is essential to check the device before each use to ensure effective and safe operation. It is the responsibility of users to carry out the necessary checks prior to each use. In the event of any doubts concerning the operation of the device, it is essential to contact the Médipréma Customer Service Department before use.
OPERATION OPERATION 1 Use After installing the device, set the exposure time then launch treatment as described in the “Description of the user interface” chapter, page 9. Once the scheduled treatment time is completed, the phototherapy light source automatically switches off. Removing the optical connector automatically suspends the timer and irradiance.
OPERATION Monitor the infant’s temperature frequently, preferably continuously. Regularly check that the infant is centred on the pad and properly positioned in the sleeping bag if one is used. It is essential that newborn infants be fitted with special eye protectors for infant phototherapy before the phototherapy unit is used (unless the device is used with the sleeping bag, in which case the medical team must decide whether to fit the infant with eye protectors or not).
CLEANING / DISINFECTION CLEANING / DISINFECTION The following instructions are given for information purposes and represent the minimum cleaning and maintenance principles to be followed. A specific protocol must be defined by the hospital on the basis of its resources and the recommendations of the manufacturer of the products used.
