Safety Precau-
tions
There are several areas in the use of the Accutome
A-Scan that require special attention, as they may pose
a safety threat.
Sterilization
Sterilization issues are confined to the A-Scan probe that
comes in contact with the patient’s eye. In order to
prevent the transmission of disease, OSHA and CDC
guidelines are referenced for proper control of
sterilization issues. These guidelines are frequently
updated so be sure to contact OSHA, CDC, or your local
disease control officer for the latest information and
sterilization techniques.
Infection control techniques that are compatible with the
Accutome A-Scan Plus probe include:
1. Immersion of the probe tip in an antibacterial solu-
tion, such as Sporicidin
TM
or Cidex
TM
*Note: Please follow the manufacturer’s written protocol
when using any antibacterial solution.
This instrument has no user operated controls or settings
that affect the acoustic output.
When using this instrument, the ALARA (As Low As
Reasonably Achievable) principle should be followed.
This principle is used to reduce unnecessary, potentially
hazardous exposure to individuals, by keeping doses
