PHOTOTHERAPEUTIC APPARATUS FOR NEWBORNS Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61N5/06 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, namely to phototherapeutic apparatuses for newborns. A first embodiment of the apparatus comprises a body assembly having a connection site, a light source, a lock switch for locking and unlocking an operating status of the light source, a positional light mode adapter selectively detachably connected to the body assembly at the connection site. The attachment of the adapter to the connection site switches the lock switch from the blocking configuration in the unlocking configuration; the disconnection of the adapter switches the lock switch. A panel lighting mode assembly comprises a lighting panel mode adapter detachably connected to the body assembly at the connection site, and a light guide connected to a light-emitting panel. In the second version, there is a LED-assembly in the blue range of the visible spectrum inside the body assembly between its opposite ends to emit light from one end of the body assembly. The body assembly has a central portion of a smaller diameter and the connection site in the centre of an end element with a hole to accommodate a detachably connected positional light mode adapter or the panel lighting mode adapter. In the third version, a circuit board is connected to the LED-assembly. The opposite ends of the body assembly comprise the inlet and outlet air tubes, a fan to circulate the air in the longitudinal direction through the inlet, intermediate and outlet tubes. In the fourth version, the panel lighting mode assembly further comprises an elongated flexible light guide and light-emitting panel, and a suspension construct for suspending the body assembly, wherein when the lighting panel mode adapter is disconnected from the body assembly, and the positional light mode adapter is disconnected from the body assembly, no light is emitted from the body.

EFFECT: use of the invention allows extending the range of the phototherapeutic apparatuses.
