Natus neoBLUE® blanket
Meets AAP guidelines for intensive phototherapy (*1)
The neoBLUE blanket system meets AAP Guidelines for intensive, efficacious phototherapy (*2)
Intensity:
Delivers intensive phototherapy: >30 µW/cm2/nm
Spectrum:
neoBLUE LED emits blue light in the 450 – 475 nm spectrum — matching the peak absorption wavelength (458 nm) at which bilirubin is broken down (*2)
Surface Area Coverage:
Blanket provides phototherapy over a large surface area
Safe
- The neoBLUE LED does not emit significant light in the ultraviolet (UV) range — reducing the potential risk of skin damage
- The neoBLUE LED does not emit significant light in the infrared radiation (IR) range — reducing the potential risk of fluid loss
- Device automatically shuts off in the event of light box overheating
- Flashing indicator light alerts user to check for blocked air vents
