Biliblanket

<<Wouldn't it be possible to place the UV blanket over the majority of the baby's body, say from the neck down and leave the head unexposed for monitoring? (As I'm sure you know, the UV blankets are very good at selectively directing light.) What adverse effects would this cause? I can't see any other than a need to increase the exposure time of UV over the remainder of the body to make up for full vs. partial immersion.>>

It is my understanding that biliblankets are not used nearly as often as the lights that are projected over top of the baby - especially overseas. Therefore, one would have to the additional costs when considering the Spectrx device....purchasing biliblankets when they most likely use the lights, labor costs to train on usage of the device as well as the blanket etc. -- that is, IF using the blanket is an option, I am not positive on that.
