Chapter 1 - Warnings and cautions
CAUTION
Day to day use - operators
The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if the equipment is used in a
manner
NOT
specified by Optos.
The use of this device or any other device which uses light for ocular examination should
NOT
be prolonged unnecessarily.
Do
NOT
place any optical elements, with the exception of the patient wearing contact
lenses, between the device and the patient’s eye.
Do
NOT
use lint cloths, tissues, or other materials that may create dust, on or near the
scan head. Always allow cleaned areas to air-dry.
The device requires low levels of room light to operate efficiently. Take care to avoid
accidents when working under low light conditions.
Do NOT touch the air vents.
Only use the fabric cover when the scan head is powered
OFF
or in standby mode.
Remove the fabric cover before operating the scan head.
OCT scans are described using nominal 'mm' dimensions. These dimensions are based
on an external angle scale factor of 3.47 as derived from the wide-angle schematic eye
model published by
Navarro et al
1.
CAUTION
Day to day use - patients
Patients
MUST NOT
operate this device.
The patient should not touch the touch screen. The patient should only be in contact with
the forehead pad, chin pad and face pad.
Do
NOT
capture images when the face pad is
NOT
in place.
Do
NOT
lean on the head rest, chin rest or table.
Ensure the head rest or chin rest do
NOT
restrict the patient’s access to the device.
The face pad may get warm during use.
The scan head will move when the alignment system is being centered. This will happen
automatically when the device is switched
ON
and when the alignment system is re-
centered between patient sessions. You should ensure that there is space around the
scan head to allow free movement.
CAUTION
Signal to Noise Ratio
SNR

has a major impact on OCT image quality and therefore could determine the ability
to distinguish the retinal layers, see SNR and OCT scan quality on page 49.
