Icare ic100 tonometer manual
the consequences thereof.
Never open the casing of the tonometer, except
for the battery compartment or to change the
probe base.
This manual contains instructions for replacing
batteries and changing the probe base.
Never use the tonometer in wet or damp
conditions.
The probe base, battery compartment cover,
screws, collar and probes are so small that a
child could swallow them. Keep the tonometer
out of the reach of children.
Do not use the device if it is broken.
Do not use the device near inammable
substances, including inammable anesthetic
agents.
Prior to each measurement, check that a new
disposable probe from an intact package is
being used.
Be sure that the probe contains the small plastic
round tip in front.
Certain microbiological agents (e.g. bacteria)
can be transmitted from the forehead support.
To avoid this, clean the forehead support after
each patient with a disinfectant, e.g. an alcohol
solution.
The tonometer conforms to EMC requirements
(IEC 60101-1-2), but interference may occur in
it if used near (<1m) a device (such as a cellular
phone) causing high-intensity electromagnetic
emissions. Although the tonometer’s own
electromagnetic emissions are well below the
levels permitted by the relevant standards,
they may cause interference in other, nearby
devices, e.g. sensitive sensors.
If the device is not to be used for a long
time, we recommend that you remove its
AA batteries, since they may leak. Removing
the batteries will not aect the subsequent
functioning of the tonometer.
Be sure to dispose of the single-use probes
properly (e.g. in a container for disposable
needles), because they may contain micro-
organisms from the patient.
Batteries, packaging materials and probe
bases must be disposed of according to local
regulations.
No part of the tonometer or probes are made
with natural rubber latex.
INTENDED USE
The Icare ic100 tonometer is intended to be
used for the measurement of intraocular
pressure of the human eye.
INTRODUCTION
The Icare ic100 tonometer is based on a
patented, induction-based rebound method,
which allows intraocular pressure (IOP) to be
measured accurately, rapidly and without an
anesthetic.
The tonometer uses the rebound method. A
small and light single-use probe makes contact
with the eye very briey. The tonometer
measures the deceleration of the probe and
the rebound time, and calculates the IOP from
these parameters.
A measurement sequence includes six
measurements. The probe moves to the
cornea and back during every measurement.
As a result, after the six measurements the
tonometer calculates the nal IOP and stores it
in the tonometer’s memory.
