• The power switch and mains plug are the means of isolating the device from the mains
supply - ensure both the power switch and mains plug are accessible at all times.
• Do not position the equipment so that is diffi cult to press the power switch or remove the
mains plug from the wall socket.
• Refraction stand variants or adaptors should only be used in combination with EN/IEC
60601-1 and EN/IEC 60601-1-2 compliant power supplies and devices.
• Route power cords safely to eliminate risk of tripping or damage to user.
• Before any cleaning of the instrument or the base unit ensure the power lead is
disconnected.
• LEDs can reach high temperatures in use – allow to cool before handling.
• Do not exceed maximum recommended exposure time.
• Should the instrument suffer shocks (for example, should it accidentally fall), and the
optical system or the illumination system are damaged it may be necessary to return the
instrument to the manufacturer for repair.
• After removal of the LED, do not touch the Slit Lamp LED electrical contacts and patient
simultaneously.
• The owner of the instrument is responsible for training personnel in its correct use.
• Ensure the instrument or instrument table is placed on a level and stable surface.
• Use only genuine Tomey approved parts and accessories or device safety and performance
may be compromised.
• Shut down after every use. In case the dust cover is used: risk of overheating.
• For indoor use only (protect from moisture).
• Electrical equipment can be affected by electromagnetic interference. If this occurs whilst
using this equipment, switch the unit off and reposition.
• Do not touch accessible connectors and the patient simultaneously.
• The Tomey Slit Lamp should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If
adjacent or stacked use with other equipment is necessary the Tomey Slit Lamp should be
observed/monitored to verify normal operation in the confi guration in which it will be used.
• The Tomey Slit Lamp cannot be used in the vicinity of sources known to cause
electromagnetic disturbance (magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography,
radio-frequency identifi cation, metal detectors, electronic article surveillance and other
electromagnetic security systems). Do not bring the Tomey digital Slit lamp into magnetic
resonance environment.
Before use, the Slit Lamp should be allowed to adjust to the ambient
room temperature for several hours. This is especially important when the
unit has been stored or transported in a cold environment; this can cause
severe condensation to develop on the optical elements.
2.3 CONTRAINDICATION
There is no restriction to patient population this device can be used with other than those
outlined in the contra-indications stated below.
Slit lamps can produce discomfort in some photophobic patients due to the high illumination.
Additionally patients must be co-operative and capable of sitting upright for the duration of
the examination, therefore the technique may not be suitable for patients who are unable to sit
upright for long periods of time or those with limited neck and back mobility.
