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.

magnetic field near the instrument. A strong magnetic
field may cause noise and affect measurement.
■ Do not place any other objects on this instrument.
1.1 Precautions for operation
■
Only allow well-trained operators to use the instrument.
■
When using the IOL calculation result to select intraocular lenses,
thoroughly determine the selection by also examining cataract surgery
methods and other inspections.
■
Artifacts may occur in the ultrasonic measurements. If measurement
values are questionable, determine the values by overall judgment (using
the wave forms or results from other equipment).
■
Precautions when installing the instrument and accessories
- Install the instrument in a location free of water or chemicals. Any water or
chemicals entering the instrument or devices may cause an electric shock or
failure.
- Do not install the instrument in a location where chemicals are stored or gases
may occur. Any chemicals or vapor entering the devices may result in fire.
- Check the frequency, voltage, and allowable current (or power consumption)
of the power source. Otherwise, fire or electric shock may occur.
- Connect the power plug to a grounded 3-pin outlet. Otherwise, a short circuit
due to failure of the instrument may result in electric shock.
