damaged.
2. Cleaning the pad, rails, and shaft: If the
pad, rails, and shaft are not clean, the
horizontal and vertical movements will
not be smooth. Wipe clean with a clean
soft cloth (see Figure 4.1.2).
3. Cleaning and disinfecting plastic parts:
Clean plastic parts such as chin-rest,
headrest belt, etc. Use a soft cloth
dampened with a soluble detergent or
water to clean the dirt, then wipe it with
medical alcohol. Note: Do not wipe
with any abrasive cleaner to avoid
damaging the surface.
4. Replace the chin-rest paper: When the
chin-rest paper is used up, pull out the
two fixing bolts on the bracket and put
on the new paper, then install the fixing
bolt (see Figure 4.1.3).
4.2 Cleaning cycle
The slit lamp microscope should be used in a
relatively clean environment, and the main
parts that need to be cleaned are as specified
in the instruction manual 4.1. In order to
ensure the normal use and observation of the
slit lamp, the cleaning should be carried out
regularly. The cleaning cycle is recommended
as follows:
1. For the eyepiece area, lens and mirror
parts:
Cycle: It is recommended to do it every
2 months.
Since the surface of the lens and the
mirror is coated with an anti-reflection
film and a reflective film, although the
coating is sufficiently strong, frequent
wiping tends to cause damage to the film,
thereby affecting the optical effect of
observation. This cycle is only a
suggestion. If there is a lot of dust
adhering to the lens that has affected the
quality of the observation, it is
recommended to clean it immediately
according to the prescribed method.
2. For the rails, shaft and the pad:
Cycle: It is recommended to do it once
every month.
The use of slit lamps in a relatively clean
environment in a hospital does not cause
the sliding pad, rails and shafts. They
will not need to clean in a short period of
time (within 1 year), nor does it affect
