Optopol SOCT Copernicus - Notes on Use; Before Use; After Use

SOCT User Manual Version 10.0 rev. A
NOTE: Correct patient fixation and alignment centered on the pupil are both critical
to obtaining a consistent corneal power measurement.
NOTE To ensure plausibility of IOL Calculation results the operator should always use
more than one calculation formula for a given IOL model and patient. This enables
the user to exercise closer scrutiny of obtained results.
NOTE The user should always seek to ever improve their IOL optimization. IOL
personalized and optimized data should be created through the analysis of pre-
operative data obtained with the device and the results of stable refraction tests
performed 3 months after the surgery.
NOTE For graphical objects to be scaled correctly while using 4Kresolution, it is
necessary to set text scaling to 200% in the screen settings window of the operating
system.
NOTE As the Anterior Chamber, wide Angle to Angle and Pachymetry scans are
compensated for beam scanning geometry and reflection from the surface of the
cornea, during acquisition it is important that the scan is centered on the vertex of
the cornea so that a strong vertical reflex is visible through the corneal vertex. The
compensation algorithm works with greatest accuracy when corneal scans are
centered this way.
Notes on Use
Before use
- Inspect the SOCT daily. Make sure that no foreign matter on the front lens is present
that can affect image readings or diagnoses.
- Any dirt or scratches on the objective lens appear as black spots which may affect the
image quality. Check and clean the objective lens before taking an image. You cannot
take good images if the objective lens is dusty.
- Sudden heating of a room during winter or in cold regions may cause condensation to
form on the objective lens or on optical parts inside the SOCT, resulting in an inability
to obtain optimal images. In this case, wait until condensation disappears before taking
images.
- Before turning the device on, make sure that Anterior Chamber Adapter is not installed
on the objective lens.
After use
After using the SOCT device, turn off the power, attach the objective lens cap to protect the
objective lens from dust and place the dust cover over the device.
