They are therefore very suitable to be used in Phototherapy systems treating new born babies suffering from hyperbilirubinemia (neonatal jaundice) and Crigler-Najjar Syndrome (CNS).This highly efficacious phototherapy treatment has eliminated the need for blood transfusions in almost all jaundiced infants
