SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The tonometer must not come into contact with the paent’s eyes, except for the probes, which may do so for a fracon of a second during measurement.
Do not push the tonometer into the eye (the p of the probe should be 4-8mm, or 5/32 - 5/16 inch, from the eye).
WARNING
The tonometer should only be opened by qualied service personnel. It contains no userserviceable parts, apart from the baeries and a probe base. The Icare
tonometer requires no roune servicing or calibraon other than changing the baeries at least every 12 months and changing or cleaning the probe base.
If servicing is necessary, contact qualied service personnel or your local Icare representave.
WARNING
Never immerse the Icare tonometer, spray, pour or spill liquid onto the Icare tonometer, its accessories, connectors, switches or openings in the chassis.
Dry any liquid on the surface of the tonometer immediately.
WARNING
Use of any accessories other than those specied in the manufacturer’s documentaon, with the excepon of items sold by the manufacturer as replacement
parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Icare tonometer.
WARNING
Use of any accessory with the Icare tonometer other than those specied may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Icare tonometer.
WARNING
Use only the original and cered probes made by the manufacturer. The probes are for single-use (one per tesng session) only. Use probes taken only from
the intact, original packaging. The manufacturer cannot guarantee sterility of the probe once the seal is compromised. Re-sterilizaon or re-use of the probe
could result in incorrect measurement values, in the breakdown of the probe, cross-contaminaon of bacteria or viruses, and infecon of the eye. Re-sterilizaon
or re-use will void all responsibilies and liabilies of the manufacturer concerning the safety and eecveness of the tonometer.
NOTE
Read this manual carefully, since it contains important informaon on using and servicing the tonometer.
Retain this manual for future use.
If you do not use the tonometer, it will switch o automacally aer 3 minutes.
When you have opened the package, check for any external damage or faults, parcularly for damage to the case. If you suspect that there is something wrong
with the tonometer, contact the manufacturer or distributor.
Use the tonometer only for measuring intraocular pressure. Any other use is improper and the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage arising from
improper use, or for the consequences thereof. Use the tonometer only for measuring intraocular pressure of animals.
Never open the casing of the tonometer, except for the baery compartment or to change the probe base.
This manual contains instrucons for replacing baeries and changing the probe base.
Never use the tonometer in wet or damp condions.
The probe base, baery compartment cover, screws, collar and probes are so small that a child or animal could swallow them. Keep the tonometer out of the
reach of children or animals.
Do not use the device if it is broken.
Do not use the device near inammable substances, including inammable anesthec 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 plasc round p in front.
Certain microbiological agents (e.g. bacteria) can be transmied from the measuring support. To avoid this, clean the forehead support aer each paent with a
disinfectant, e.g. an alcohol soluon.
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 electromagnec emissions. Although the tonometer’s own electromagnec emissions are well below the levels permied by the relevant stan-
dards, they may cause interference in other, nearby devices, e.g. sensive sensors.
If the device is not to be used for a long me, we recommend that you remove its AA baeries, since they may leak. Removing the baeries will not aect the
subsequent funconing 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 paent.
Baeries, packaging materials and probe bases must be disposed of according to local regulaons.
No part of the tonometer or probes are made with natural rubber latex.
