1.6 Disinfection
NOTE!
The device does not need to be disinfected. For more information on
cleaning, please refer to the 'Maintenance' chapter.
1.6.1 Cleaning and disinfection of the measuring prism
DANGER!
The measuring prisms are made of PMMA. Please take note of the
following restrictions:
- Do not disinfect with alcohol
- Do not clean with acetone
- Do not disinfect using UV radiation
- Do not sterilise using steam or ethylene oxide
- Do not expose to temperatures above 60°C
WARNING!
Reusable measuring prisms are not shipped disinfected and must
be cleaned and disinfected
before their first use in accordance
with the separate instruction manual on the cleaning and disinfec-
tion of tonometer measuring prisms and contact glasses.
•
Preparation may only be conducted by qualified and trained person
‑
nel. Their training is the responsibility of the user.
•
Appropriate professional assessment and caution are necessary.
•
Only use clean, undamaged, and disinfected measuring prisms!
•
Please observe the separate instruction manual on the cleaning and
disinfection of tonometer measuring prisms and contact glasses!
•
The operator shall be liable in the event of non‑observance of the
cleaning and disinfecting process!
NOTE!
•
Only those disinfectants tested by Haag‑Streit for material compatibil‑
ity may be used for disinfection.
•
The current list is enclosed with every tonometer and measur‑
ing prism, and can also be found on the Haag‑Streit website (www.
haag‑streit.com).
•
The separate instruction manual on the cleaning and disinfection of
tonometer measuring prisms and contact glasses is to be consulted
regarding the exact functioning, concentration, working times, and
idle times.
•
Improper preparation can result in the transmission of diseases to the
patient and user as well as damage to the measuring prism.
•
Residue from cleaning agents and disinfectants may irritate and burn
the patient’s eye.
•
As a rule, the measuring prisms may be prepared together with each
other, but not with any other products.
•
In order to achieve efficient disinfection of tonometer measuring
prisms, we recommend using the disinfectant 'Sekusept Forte S'. It
was successfully used by the accredited testing laboratory HS Sys‑
tem‑ und Prozesstechnik GmbH, 65779 Kelkheim, Germany, when
validating the cleaning and disinfection process − see separate in
‑
struction manual on the cleaning and disinfection of tonometer mea‑
suring prisms and contact glasses.
•
The validation report is available from Haag‑Streit on request.
•
A summary of the validation report can be found on the Haag‑Streit
website (www.haag‑streit.com).
•
The operator accepts liability for the use of other disinfectants.
•
Single-use prisms must be replaced after every examination − see
separate instructions for use.
•
The above‑mentioned instruction manual, the brief instructions Disin‑
fection of tonometer measuring prisms and contact glasses, and addi‑
tional information can always be found on our website www.haag‑st‑
reit.com.
1.6.2 Visual inspection of the measuring prisms for damages
DANGER!
Never use damaged measuring prisms.
Prior to every use, the contact surface of the measuring prism must be
inspected for contaminants or damage (scratches, cracks and sharp edg‑
es).
This must be performed with a slit lamp microscope at 10× to
16× magnification.
1.6.3 Service life of reusable measuring prisms
WARNING!
How long can measuring prisms be used?
Due to the large number of variables to be considered (type and concen‑
tration of the disinfectant used, number of patients, handling, etc.) it is
practically impossible to provide exact information on how often and/or
how long a measuring prism can be used under safe conditions.
