MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE MEASURING NOZZLE AND THE GLASS INSIDE THE MEASURING NOZZLE
• If there is any foreign matter on or around the measuring nozzle, it may enter and damage the patient's eye
during the measurement. If there is any, clean the measuring nozzle.
• When the glass inside the measuring nozzle becomes stained, it makes the fixation target unclear, causing
errors in auto alignment and measurement values. If the fixation target is unclear or measurement values
with parentheses are frequent, clean the glass inside the measuring nozzle.
1 Prepare ethanol.
2 Moisten the applicator with ethanol.
3 Insert the applicator into the measuring nozzle, lightly touch the glass surface, and turn the
applicator a few times.
4 Use a new applicator and wipe the glass surface in a similar manner; repeat this a few times.
5 If the fixation target is clearly seen, cleaning is completed. If stains cannot be removed easily,
call your dealer.
CAUTION
To clean the intraocular pressure measuring window glass,
measuring nozzle and the glass inside the measuring nozzle, use
ethanol. Using other chemicals may cause damage to the patient's
eye during measurement.
NOTE
• Do not apply unreasonable force to the measuring nozzle while cleaning.
• To avoid problems, do not leave the cotton fibers inside.
• Be sure to use only the attached applicator.
NOTE
The used applicator contains grease and it only scatters grease if used
again; the light transmittance is not improved at all. Be sure to replace the
applicator and use a new one for each of these repeated cleaning
operations.
NOTE
• When the glass inside the measuring nozzle becomes stained, it makes
the fixation target unclear. “Alignment operation stopped for patient’s
safety. Check positional relations between patient’s eyes and measuring
head. (E17001)” is displayed on the control panel screen during use.
• Cleaning of external input / output device
Clean according to each instruction manual.
