Customizable Hospital Use Newborn Phototherapy Unit with LED Display Timer

Basically, we’ve been moving these for a few years now, and most buyers go with the S-200A because it hits the sweet spot between power and cost — you’re looking at an irradiance level from about 550 up to 2000μW/cm² depending on the model, and the LED array is tuned to that 400-550nm range, which is what you need for effective neonatal phototherapy without the heat issues of older fluorescent units; the digital timer goes up to 999 hours and 59 minutes, though for a typical session you’re usually in the 24-72 hour window, give or take.

The timer accuracy is ±1 minute per 2 hours, so it’s tight enough for clinical protocols, and the height adjustment range is 110mm to 150mm with those three lock-in angles at 30, 60, and 90 degrees — you tilt the treatment head to match the bassinet position, and it stays put. Each unit weighs 9kg and measures 93.5 by 56 by 16.5cm, which is manageable for moving between wards, but what I’d flag is the operating temperature range of +10°C to +30°C — if your NICU runs warm, it’s fine, but don’t shove it next to a drafty window in winter.

This isn’t really suited for home use or portable setups — it’s a fixed unit for hospital phototherapy stations, and we see it mostly in pediatric wards and neonatal ICUs where they need something that can run for weeks without swapping bulbs. The 50,000-hour LED lifespan means you’re not changing lamps every six months like you would with halogen systems, and the power draw varies from 10VA on the S-100 up to 150VA on the S-400, so you can budget your electricla load accordingly — the bigger units obviously push more photons.

On the quailty side, these come with CE and ISO13485 certification, and we include a COA with each shipment — HPLC data on the light output spectrum, though I’ll be honest, the wavelength tolerance is tighter than most of the competition, typically within ±5nm at the peak. One thing buyers don’t always think to ask: the LED driver board is potted to protect against humidity, which helps if your facility runs steam sterilizers nearby, and the timer display is digital, so there’s no mechancial clicker to fail.

Lead time is usually 20 days or so for standard orders, but we keep the S-200 and S-200A in stock most of teh time — the S-100 is slower because they build those to order, and the S-400 can take an extra week depending on the panel configuration. Minimum order is one unit, though if you’re buying ten or more our company can adjust the pricing slightly, and the packaging is a single reinforced carton with foam inserts — I’ve never had one arrive damaged, but check customs paperwork because some countries ask for a separate CE declaration for medical devices.
