This has been achieved by exposing the infant to bright light (approximately 4.5 micro watts/sq cm/nm) in the range of 420-480 mm wave length by use of conventional phototherapy unit. In order to remove the limitation of fluorescent and CFL tubes, mLabs has utilized long lasting, durable, more efficient and cost effective LEDs with more than double the flux as against what is radiated from conventional, fluorescent and CFL, for jaundice treatment.
