SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The tonometer device must not come into contact with the patient’s eyes. When adjusting the forehead resting support for the tonometer, do not accidentally
push the tonometer or probe into the eye. The tonometer’s forehead spacing support needs to be adjusted to maintain the tip of the probe
about 5 mm, or
about 3/16 inch
,
from the eye. During measurement, only the probe makes contact with eye, for a fraction of a second.
WARNING
The tonometer should only be opened by qualified service personnel. It contains no user-serviceable parts, apart from the batteries and a probe base. The Icare
tonometer requires no routine servicing or calibration other than changing the batteries at least every 12 months and changing the probe base. If there is reason
to believe servicing of the device is necessary, contact qualified service personnel or your local Icare representative.
WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Icare Finland Oy could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
WARNING
Never immerse the Icare tonometer in liquid. Do not spray, pour or spill liquid onto the Icare tonometer, its accessories, connectors, switches or openings in the
chassis. Remove any liquid appearing on the surface of the tonometer immediately.
WARNING
Use of this equipment adjacent to, or stacked with, other equipment may result in improper operation and should be avoided. If such use is necessary, this
equipment, and the other equipment, should be observed to verify that they are operating normally.
WARNING
Use of accessories other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or
decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation.
WARNING
Use only the original, certified probes supplied by the manufacturer. The probes are for single-use (one per measurement session) only. Each testing session is
defined by one successful measurement in both eyes, but in case either eye is inflamed or infected the healthy eye should be measured first. Use probes taken
only from the intact, original packaging. Re-use of a probe could result in incorrect measurement values, damage to the probe, cross-contamination by bacteria
or viruses or infection of the eye. Re-use of probes voids all responsibilities and liabilities of the manufacturer concerning the safety and effectiveness of the
tonometer.
WARNING
Federal law (U.S.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
WARNING
To prevent contamination, keep unused probes in their box, do not touch the bare probe, do not use a probe if it touches a non-sterile surface like a table or a
floor. Do not use the touched or dropped probe, dispose of it properly (e.g. in containers for disposable needles).
WARNING
Connection of the ic200 tonometer to IT networks including other equipment could result in previously unidentified risks to patients, operators, or third parties.
WARNING
The responsible organization should identify, analyze, evaluate, and control any additional risks resulting from the ic200 tonometer connected to IT networks
including other equipment.
PRECAUTION

Do not use any anesthetic to numb the eye, an anesthetic can affect the measurement results. No anesthetic is required when performing measurements with
this device.
