The white interior sphere that the patient looks into (the ganzfeld), should be cleaned
when there is visible dust inside or when the device fails to calibrate at the start of a
test.
Welch Allyn recommends that you clean the eyecup and sensor strip lead between each
patient.
The RETeval-DR device is chemically compatible to wipes containing 70% isopropyl
alcohol and with wipes containing alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride. The use of
other wipes may damage the device.
Clean the ganzfeld
1. Remove the eyecup by grasping the rubber nearest the silver bezel and pulling
gently.
2. Clean the ganzfeld with a compressed gas air duster to remove dust.
3. If compressed gas does not work, a damp cloth may be used.
4. To replace the eyecup, orient the eyecup so that the slots on the white plastic rim of
the eyecup are aligned with the bumps on the silver bezel.
5. Push gently until the eyecup clicks onto the silver bezel.
