This article does not include sufficient citations, and possibly contains original research. Article does not follow encyclopedic writing style. Additionally, it contains first person narrative and also contains personal suggestions. Possible rewrite may be required. Micrll ( talk) 06:36, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
In addition to being tagged for 'condense', I'm not convinced a list of brands is encyclopedic so I moved this to talk RJFJR ( talk) 16:32, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Royal Philips Electronics demonstrated a bili blanket on 27 September 2011 at their Innovation Experience in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The blanket is based on LED with a specific wavelength that make the therapy more effective. citation needed As opposed to the use of a light generator and optical fibers (see above) this technology makes the bilirubin blanket portable. The blanket is made from soft, flexible textile and illuminates the baby directly. While being treated, the baby can be held by its parent, which is more comforting than the treatment being performed in the hospital environment. citation needed
The original line from the early 1990s. Its current incarnation is sturdy and easy to lug about. The baby is attached to the pad using a paper harness, or it is just placed loose under the clothing. citation needed
Older Wallabies are pretty heavy and quite noisy. On the other hand, the Wallaby does have a long cable that gives mother or father and baby more freedom of movement. Newer models are comparable to the Ohmeda's newer versions and functionally very much the same. Healthdyne is owned by Respironics, better known for sleep apnea devices. citation needed
The Olympic is a meaner-looking device that does pretty much the same job as the above two machines, though it doesn't have a variable light level. Nice light but a more primitive, simple design. citation needed
IRex Blanket LED Phototherapy uses flexible LED with increased surface area that uses less power and has a longer life. IREX blanket phototherapy is keeping the AAP guidelines for phototherapy. citation needed
To improve this page I would add a few more sections to provide more information in an organized way about biliblankets, such as a section titled: Hyperbilirubinemia, Mechanism, Proper use, side effects, Advantages, disadvantages, History. Tvu2020 ( talk) 20:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Here is our peer reviews.
@ Cvo.UCSF:, @ Vtran1337:, @ Tvu2020:, @ Vmelgarejocovarrubias: As a member of WP:WikiProject Medicine I have volunteered to watch this article while it is a Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UCSF/Foundations II (Summer 2020) assignment. See comments below. Feel free to ask me questions here or on my Talk page. David notMD ( talk) 15:16, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Some of the recent referencing is to individual clinical trials, which WP:MEDRS frowns upon. Are there reviews that can be substituted? David notMD ( talk) 17:07, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
The content in the subsections is so short that there is no reason to have subsection titles. David notMD ( talk) 17:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
