BILISOFT LED PHOTOTHERAPY SYSTEM, Casey Hospital, Maternity, VIC
$14,600.00
Jaundice, detected as a yellowing of the skin and eyes, occurs in 50% of full-term babies and 80% of pre-term babies in their first week of life. Without prompt treatment, jaundice can cause cerebral palsy, deafness and/or brain damage. This machine uses phototherapy (exposure to fluorescent light bulbs or other light sources) to effectively treat the jaundice while at the same time enabling the parents to hold or feed their child without disturbing the therapeutic treatment in progress. Currently, when a baby becomes jaundiced the child must be transferred to the city or placed in another unit where the mother is separated from their newborn. This is modern technology that can be used in a rural setting, allowing safe care and management of jaundice close to home.
