17. Care and Maintenance
17.1 Cleaning and Disinfecting the Probe Tip
Keep the probe tip clean and disinfected to prevent patient-to-patient infection. After each
patient, wipe the probe with a Q-tip soaked in 70% isopropyl alcohol, and then immerse the
probe tip (the clear cone) for 10 minutes in 70% isopropyl alcohol. The tip should be rinsed in
sterile distilled water before using.
WARNING: The probe should NEVER be autoclaved or subjected to intense heat. As a
general rule, the above cleaning instructions are sufficient to disinfect the probe in ordinary
use. Do not scratch or chip the conical probe tip, which makes contact with the cornea.
The following disinfectants were found to be compatible with the probe tip material:
