NOTE!
• Only those disinfectants tested by Haag-Streit for material compatib-
ility may be used for disinfection.
• The current list is enclosed with every tonometer and measuring
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 lenses 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 prisms.
• Residue from cleaning agents and disinfectants may irritate and
burn the patient’s eye.
• As a rule, the measuring prisms may be prepared together but
should not be prepared with any other products.
• In order to achieve efficient disinfection of tonometer measuring
prisms, we recommend using one of the validated disinfection
agents (see separate instruction manual on the cleaning and disin-
fection of tonometer measuring prisms and contact lenses.
• 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 all liability for the use of other disinfection
agents.
• Single-use prisms must be replaced after every examination − see
separate instructions for use.
• The above-mentioned instruction manual, the brief instructions Dis-
infection of tonometer measuring prisms and contact lenses, and ad-
ditional information can always be found on our website www.haag-
streit.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 and damage (scratches, cracks and sharp
edges).
This must be performed with a slit lamp microscope at 10×
to 16× magnification.
1.6.3 Period of use of reusable measuring prisms
WARNING!
How long may measuring prisms be used?
Due to the large number of variables to be considered (type and con-
centration of the disinfectants 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 safely used.
The measuring prisms are stamped with an expiry date ( YYYY-MM-
DD). They must not be used beyond this date. Haag-Streit recommends
a maximum period of use of two years before the expiry date. This peri-
od of use applies subject to normal conditions of use, i.e. in compliance
with the instructions contained in these instructions for use. The period
of use begins with the first application. The given time periods are not
valid for damaged measuring prisms, they must be immediately re-
placed.
