Routine care
• Keep the optical components free of fingerprints.
• When not in use, cover the slit lamp with the provided cover to keep
the slit lamp free of dust and store all accessories in suitable storage
boxes.
Inspect the slit lamp
Periodically inspect the slit lamp for dirt, debris, and damage.
Clean the slit lamp
Clean the external surfaces
Remove accumulated dust with a very soft cloth. When necessary, wipe the
external non-optical surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with a mild
detergent. Do not spray any cleaning agents on the slit lamp.
Clean the optical components
Use a soft brush to remove dust from accessible surfaces. When necessary,
clean the front surface of the objective carefully:
1. Turn on the slit lamp illumination to ensure proper cleaning.
2. Moisten a cotton-tipped swab with 100% ethanol, 100% methanol, or
high-grade acetone.
3. Gently wipe the surface circularly from the lens center to the edge.
4. If the surface is still not clean, use a newly-moistened, cotton-tipped
swab and gently wipe the surface again using the same technique.
Clean the slit lamp table
Remove accumulated dust with a soft cloth dampened with a mild
detergent.
