This document provides instructions for cleaning and sterilization of the Viskonix VX110-VX120+-VX130+ refraction and screening devices. These devices are used in ophthalmology for examining patients' eyes. The manual emphasizes the importance of proper cleaning and sterilization to ensure patient safety and device longevity.
Function Description
The Viskonix VX110-VX120+-VX130+ devices are designed for refraction and screening, which are fundamental procedures in eye care. Refraction involves determining the eye's refractive error to prescribe corrective lenses, while screening helps detect potential eye conditions. The devices are likely used to measure various parameters of the eye, such as visual acuity, intraocular pressure, or corneal topography, depending on the specific model and its capabilities. The images in the manual show two distinct units, one appearing to be a main examination unit with a chin rest and forehead support, and the other possibly a display or control unit, or a different type of screening device.
Important Technical Specifications
While the manual does not explicitly list detailed technical specifications such as measurement ranges, accuracy, or power requirements, it does specify the model series: VX110-VX120+-VX130+. This indicates a range of devices, likely with varying features and capabilities, all falling under the Viskonix brand. The mention of "VX120 Family" further suggests a modular or tiered product line. The devices are designed to be connected to an external power outlet for operation.
Usage Features
The devices are designed for use in a clinical setting, requiring interaction with patients. Key usage features include:
- Chin Rest and Forehead Support: These components are crucial for patient positioning, ensuring stability and accuracy during examinations. The manual specifically highlights the cleaning of these parts.
- User Interface: The images show a screen on one of the devices, indicating a digital interface for operation, displaying results, or controlling settings.
- External Power: The device requires an external power source, implying it is not battery-operated for primary use.
- Regular Cleaning: The manual provides detailed instructions for cleaning various parts, indicating that regular maintenance is an integral part of its usage protocol. This includes cleaning the chin rest, forehead support, Placido rings (if applicable), and the external body of the device.
Maintenance Features
Maintenance of the Viskonix VX110-VX120+-VX130+ devices primarily revolves around cleaning and sterilization to prevent cross-infection and ensure hygienic operation. The manual provides comprehensive guidelines for these procedures:
- Cleaning of Chin Rest and Forehead Support: These parts, which come into direct contact with patients, must be cleaned after every new patient. The recommended method involves using Cidalkan wipes (alcohol, disinfectant, or other alternative) and replacing the paper on the chin rest with a new sheet of paper.
- Cleaning of Placido Rings: If the device includes Placido rings (used in corneal topography), these must also be cleaned between each patient using alcohol-free wipes. This is crucial as these rings are in close proximity to the patient's eye.
- Cleaning of the Screen: The screen should not be touched or cleaned by the patient. Regular cleaning with Cidalkan wipes or other alternatives is recommended.
- Cleaning of the External Body: The exterior of the device should be cleaned regularly, preferably at the beginning of the day. The patient will likely touch the device during the exam, so thorough cleaning of all external surfaces (top, bottom, and front) with a plastic surface cleaner is required.
- Recommended Cleaning Products: The manual specifically recommends "Cidalkan wipes incl. alcohol, disinfectant" (REF: 4100-0014-00) for cleaning various parts. It also mentions "Cidalkan wipes pr other alternative" and "alcohol-free wipes" for Placido rings. For the external body, a "plastic surface cleaner" is advised.
- Hand Washing: Users are instructed to wash their hands thoroughly by hand wiping after cleaning the device.
- Disposal of Wipes: Used wipes should be thrown away, and the device should not be rinsed.
- Cross-Infection Prevention: A critical warning is provided regarding cross-infection. If a device is used for a patient with a known cross-infection, it must be replaced with a new sheet of paper and cleaned with a new sheet of paper. This highlights the importance of strict hygiene protocols.
- Safety Precautions: The manual includes several warning symbols. One warns against using below recommended solutions or solutions that may discolor the device. Another warns against giving printed results to patients to avoid printed results that may be contaminated. A general warning advises against using cleaning solutions that are not suitable for the specific area or using solutions that might damage the device.
- Manufacturer Information: The manual provides contact information for Luneau Technology, including their address, phone number, email, and website, for support and further inquiries regarding the device and its maintenance. The "PRODUCT DISINFECTED" logo with CE 0459 indicates compliance with European safety standards for medical devices.
In summary, the Viskonix VX110-VX120+-VX130+ devices are essential tools for eye care professionals, designed for refraction and screening. Their effective and safe operation relies heavily on adherence to the detailed cleaning and sterilization protocols outlined in the manual, ensuring patient safety and the longevity of the equipment.
