CAUTION: Be careful when mounting anterior adapter in order not to scratch the
objective lens.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the patient’s face away from the chin rest and forehead
rest when the Anterior Chamber Adapter is still attached. Otherwise, a
patient may be injured by the Anterior Segment Adapter making contact
with him/her when the scanning head moves in any direction.
CAUTION: DDLS scale bases on a publication by George L. Spaeth, MD in 2002, and
can only be treated as supplementary information and cannot be
treated as disease confirmation. Use for reference only.
CAUTION: KPI bases on a publication by Naoyuki Maeda in 1994, and can only be
treated as supplementary information and cannot be treated as disease
confirmation. Use for reference only.
CAUTION Calculation constants used in the IOL Calculation tab do not depend solely
on the IOL type and calculation formula used. They can also be
influenced by factors such as measurement technology and surgical
technique which is why the user is strongly advised to optimize the
constants for their particular conditions and practice.
CAUTION While using an A-constant for IOL Calculations Remember that it is an
estimate and should only be used for reference if no better constants
are available. Use only IOL constants optimized for optical biometers.
CAUTION The software for taking measurements and performing IOL calculations
must be operated only be appropriately trained and experienced staff
with knowledge suitable for interpreting the results. All members of the
stuff must read this user manual thoroughly, paying special attention to
the safety related points and instructions.
CAUTION The white-to-white distance value is merely an indirect measurement of
the inner lateral dimensions of the anterior ocular section. For this
reason it provides only approximate indications of the actual inner
lateral dimensions of the anterior ocular section and of the size of the
implant used.
