2 Intended purpose / intended use
A slit lamp biomicroscope is intended for use in eye examination. It is used to aid in
the diagnosis and documentation of diseases or trauma which affect the structural
properties of the eye.
2.1 Device description
The devices of the slit lamp are made up of:
• Stereo biomicroscope
• Slit illumination
• Instrument base
• Headrest and chin rest
The illumination system and a biomicroscope are mounted to an instrument base
operated by joystick. The single joystick allows horizontal and vertical displacement
of the slit lamp across the examination table. Both elements, the illumination system
and the biomicroscope, can be swiveled progressively across the pivot,
independently of one another.
A sturdy headrest is attached to the table. Both the table and the chin rest are
adjustable in height to provide a comfortable, yet sturdy examination position to the
patient, outside of the device's range of motion. As this device operates non-
invasively it only comes into contact with the patient at the chin rest and forehead
band.
