General Maintenance
Maintenance that should be performed on the PachPen consists of activities such
as keeping surfaces free of dust and dirt and storing in a dry and cool place so as
to not adversely affect electronic parts.
Refer to pages 4 and 5 for details on disinfection and cleaning before doing any
disinfection or cleaning of the PachPen.
CAUTION: NO ABRASIVES OR HARSH CLEANING SOLUTIONS SHOULD BE USED WHILE
CLEANING THE PACHPEN.
Note: The unit does not contain any user replaceable parts other than the
battery.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Clean the PachPen Pachymeter by wiping everything except the tip with a clean
lint-free, nonabrasive cloth and alcohol.
Clean the PachPen Pachymeter tip by dipping only the first ¼” of the tip into alcohol
or in an ultrasonic cleaner and allowing it to air-dry.
Do not drop the device.
Avoid any shock or excessive vibration as this may
damage the unit.
Do not immerse the device in any fluid.
This will damage the electronics and
invalidate the warranty.

Battery Disposal
Follow the procedure outlined below for proper disposal of lithium batteries.
Instructions for Disposal
1. Guidelines for the disposal of lithium batteries are continually under review.
Waste-management companies can provide assistance in the disposal of
these cells and batteries.
2. Disposal should be done in accordance with applicable regulations, which
vary from country to country. In most countries, trashing of used batteries
is forbidden and disposal can be done through nonprofit organizations
mandated by local authorities or organized by professionals.
3. Cells and batteries should not be incinerated unless suitable procedures
are followed and appropriate precautions have been taken by qualified
handlers. Exposure of these cells to high temperatures or fire can cause
them to vent and/or rupture.
