Giraffe Blue Spot PT Lite Phototherapy Systems

Reason

Some Giraffe Blue Spot PT Lite Phototherapy Systems built between 2014 and Jan 2018, have a light output falling below the recommended minimum output for the Giraffe Blue Spot PT. This problem has been associated with exposure of the light pipe to elevated temperatures, which is contra-indicated in the operation, maintenance, and service manual. There have not been any reported harms or adverse events associated with the Giraffe Blue Spot PT Lite.
