The neoBLUE cozy LED Phototherapy System is a lightweight and portable device that is positioned underneath the baby to deliver phototherapy via blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). The neoBLUE cozy system consists of an
enclosed LED light panel, a mattress, a disposable mattress cover, and a power supply. The blue LEDs emit light in the range of 400 – 550 nm (peak wavelength 450-470 nm). This range corresponds to the peak absorption of light
by bilirubin, and is thus considered to be the most effective for the treatment of newborn jaundice.
Warning! The device should not be used on its own outside of an enclosure. There is a potential for the baby to roll off the device.
Warning! The device uses ambient air to keep the LEDs cool. Do not use the device if the ambient temperature is warmer than 30ºC (86ºF).

Note: If the surface temperature of the LED panel
becomes too warm, the phototherapy light will
automatically shut off as the ventilation fan continues to
operate. A red blinking light will alert you to check the
air vents and ensure that they are not obstructed. Once
the temperature has decreased, the blue LEDs will
automatically turn back on; however, the red flashing
light will remain on. To inactivate the blinking light,
power off the neoBLUE cozy system and then power
it back on.
Note: Turn off the neoBLUE cozy light when feeding or
diapering the baby.
4. Upon completion of administering phototherapy, turn
off the neoBLUE cozy device (move power switch to
Standby " " position).
