A parenteral fluid delivery bag having a line set formed integral with the bag, the line set being peelably releasable from the remainder of the bag so as to assume a deployed position adapted to enter into fluid communication with a patient. In an alternate embodiment, a plurality of bags connected by an integrally formed wye-junction are adapted for delivery to a patient and retrieval of fluid from a patient.

Parenteral fluid delivery bag with integral line set

An illuminator for use with a variety of end use light emitting devices for administering light for therapy and/or observation of an infant. One of the end use emitting devices is a device to provide phototherapy to the infant and is prevented by the illuminator from emitting light that has not been filtered to select the desire spectrum of wavelengths for phototherapy. The illuminator prevents the introduction of a connector to the phototherapy device from being inserted to an operative, secured position unless the proper filter is in position to filter out all of the undesired wavelengths before the light radiation can reach the phototherapy end use emitting device. Other end use light emitting devices may, however, be used with the same illuminator and their connectors are readily inserted into the illuminator to receive light radiating from the illuminator to the end use light emitting device.

Fiberoptic illuminator for infant care

A system for controlling the amount of light radiation directed upon an infant from a fiberoptic phototherapy pad by feedback from a light detector that itself is a fiberoptic pad. The fiberoptic detecting pad receives and detects the light density radiation over an area and is located intermediate the normal fiberoptic phototherapy pad and the infant and therefore is in the best position to detect accurately, the light impinging upon the infant. In some embodiments, the light detector pad is manufactured as part of the fiberoptic phototherapy pad itself as a unitary construction. Light readily travels through the light detector to the infant, yet the light detector senses the light intensity and density of the light passing therethrough.
