PRECAUTION!
The patient should be instructed to thoroughly wash and dry their hands with soap and a
clean towel prior to handling the probe.
WARNING!
To prevent contamination, do not touch the bare probe, do not use a probe if it
touches a non-sterile surface like a table or a floor.
WARNING!
Use only the original and certified probes made by the manufacturer. The probes are for
single-use (one per testing session only). Each testing session is defined by one successful
measurement in both eyes (or only one eye measurement if indicated). Use probes taken
only from the intact, original packaging. The manufacturer cannot guarantee sterility of
the probe once the seal is compromised. Re-sterilization or re-use of the probe could
result in incorrect measurement values, in the breakdown of the probe, cross-
contamination of bacteria or viruses, and infection of the eye. Re-sterilization or re-use
will void all responsibilities and liabilities of the manufacturer concerning the safety and
effectiveness of the tonometer.
The Icare HOME tonometer uses single-use probes that are packed in a plastic
tube (container) and wrapped in blister packs as shown in the figures below.
After using the tonometer to measure IOP, the user can remove the probe
either by powering off the device and allowing the probe to slide out of the
probe base or by pulling the probe out of the probe base. The probe can be
discarded by placing the probe back in its container and disposing of it properly.
