The GE Healthcare Giraffe Spot PT Lite is available for rent and sale from US Med-Equip.
The Giraffe® SPOT PT Lite™ Phototherapy System provides a cooler light for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia than traditional halogen spot lamps. The Giraffe® SPOT PT Lite™ consists of a lightweight light source unit and an adjustable goose-neck that conveniently delivers therapeutic light directly to the infant. A metal halide bulb in the light box provides the light, which is transmitted through a light pipe in the flexible gooseneck. Since the light bulb is not near the patient, the result is a cooler therapeutic light than most other spot halogen phototherapy systems. UV and infrared radiation are filtered from the light, reducing the risk of skin and eye damage, as well as the hazards of hyperthermia and dehydration.
