Does the BiliBed meet the American Acadamy of Pediatrics requirements for Intensive Phototherapy?
The BiliBed does meet and exceeds the AAPs requirements for intensive phototherapy. The 2004 AAP guidelines state that intensive phototherapy implies the use of high levels of irradiance in the 430 to 490 nm band (usually 30 μW/cm2/nm or higher) delivered to as much of the infant’s surface area as possible.
