10.  ICARE HOME TONOMETER TRAINING 

PROCEDURES FOR CERTIFICATION OF HEALTH CARE 

PROVIDERS (HCP) AND CAREGIVERS

All health care providers and caregivers must receive training from a certified 

trainer and be certified prior to performing tonometry or training others to perform 

self-measurement tonometry with the Icare HOME tonometer.

STEP 1 – The system components

1.  Open the case and identify the system components by explaining what they 

are for (tonometer, single-use probes, case, batteries, Icare LINK software, user 

documentation)

.

2.  Install batteries to the tonometer as instructed in the Icare HOME user 

documentation.

3.  Install Icare LINK software to your PC as instructed in the Icare LINK user 

documentation.

STEP 2 – Instruct the HCP or caregiver

1.  Show and explain the tonometer’s user interface, including icons and status 

indicators:

• 

Off: no lights, no signals.

•  Press power button: all indicator lights illuminate after a short time, 

and you hear a long beep.

• 

Load probe: when the green Load light flashes on the back panel.

• 

Measure: when the green Measure light flashes on the back panel, 

you are meant to take a measurement. At the same time, the 

probe base light is green if the tonometer’s position is horizontal 

enough, otherwise it is red. Explain that if there is an error in your 

measurement, the probe base light flashes red and you hear two long 

error beeps.

• 

Repeat: when the yellow Repeat light flashes on the back panel, 

you need to repeat the measurement. At the same time, the probe 

base light flashes red and you hear two short beeps. The reason is 

either too much deviation in your measurement or the automatic 

eye recognition system could not recognize the eye because of the 

incorrect position of the tonometer.

•  Done: when the green Done light illuminates on the back panel, 

and you hear a long beep and the probe base light goes out, the 

measurement is completed.

• 

Service: when the Service light and the probe base light flash red on 

the back panel and you hear two long error beeps, the tonometer 

needs service. At the same time the probe base light flashes red. 

•  Low battery: when the red Battery light illuminates on the back panel, 

the battery charge is low and you should soon change the batteries.

• 

Empty battery: when the red Battery light flashes on the back panel, 

the battery is empty and you must ask for a battery change.
