1. PRIOR TO USE
■
Read this manual thoroughly before using this
instrument to ensure proper and safe operation.
■
Always follow the operation procedures
described in this manual.
■
Check that there are no devices that generate a
strong magnetic field near the instrument. A
strong magnetic field may cause noise and affect
measurement.
1.1 Precautions for operation
■
Allow only well-trained operators to use the instrument.
■
Fully examine the measured data for tracing results. In particular, if
the difference between measurement values for the left and right
eyes is significant or any problem is found in the anterior chamber
during preliminary examination, check the tracing and/or reliability
on the check screen. If the measurement result is not conclusive,
review the inspection result by performing measurement again or
performing another inspection.
■
When using data taken by this instrument for diagnosis or
determination of treatment, proceed carefully by taking
measurements multiple times and/or conducting other
examinations.
■
When using the data taken by this instrument to select intraocular
lenses, thoroughly determine the selection by also examining
cataract surgery methods and other inspections. If incorrect
measurement data is used to select intraocular lenses, further
surgery might be required.
■
When using the data taken by this instrument to calculate the
degree of intraocular lenses, use the value of the axial length
