STEP 5 – Test measurement
HCP:
1. Load a new probe and ask the same HCP to measure his/her own IOP three times in
each eye with the same tonometer used in the reference measurement.
2. Observe if the positioning is correct. Do not supervise or interact.
CAREGIVER:
1. Load a new probe and ask the caregiver to measure IOP three times in each eye
with the same tonometer on the same trainer used in the reference measurement.
Observe if the positioning is correct. Do not supervise or interact.
STEP 6 – Certification
Connect device to computer and view the readings in the Icare LINK software.
The HCP passes the training and is certified for performing tonometry on patients
with the device and for training others in self-use of the device if the following
conditions are met:
a. The reading taken by the trainer and the first of the three readings taken by
the HCP differ by 5 mmHg or less.
b. The range (max-min) of the three readings taken by the HCP is 7 mmHg or
less.
c. The positioning of the tonometer was correct during self-use as determined
by the trainer.
HCP’s name:
Date (dd mm yy):
CERTIFICATION
0 = Pass; 1 = Fail
CAREGIVER:
The Caregiver passes the training and is certified for performing tonometry on
patients with the device if the following conditions are met:
a. The reading taken by the trainer and the first of the three readings taken by
the Caregiver differ by 5 mmHg or less.
b. The range (max-min) of the three readings taken by the Caregiver is 7 mmHg
or less.
c. The positioning of the tonometer was correct during measurement as
determined by the trainer.
Caregiver’s name:
Date (dd mm yy):
CERTIFICATION
0 = Pass; 1 = Fail
11. ICARE HOME TONOMETER TRAINING
PROCEDURES FOR CERTIFICATION OF THE PATIENT
FOR SELF-USE
All patients must receive training from a certified health care professional (HCP) and
be certified prior to performing self-tonometry.
STEP 1 – Instruct the patient
1. Show and explain the tonometer’s user interface, including icons and status
indicators:
• Off: no lights, no signals.
• Press power button: all indicator lights illuminate after a short time,
and you hear a long beep.
• Load probe: when the green Load light flashes on the back panel.
• Measure: when the green Measure light flashes on the back panel,
you are meant to take a measurement. At the same time, the
probe base light is green if the tonometer’s position is horizontal
enough, otherwise it is red. Explain that if there is an error in your
measurement, the probe base light flashes red and you hear two long
error beeps.
• Repeat: when the yellow Repeat light flashes on the back panel,
you need to repeat the measurement. At the same time, the probe
base light flashes red and you hear two short beeps. The reason is
either too much deviation in your measurement or the automatic
eye recognition system could not recognize the eye because of the
incorrect position of the tonometer.
• Done: when the green Done light illuminates on the back panel,
and you hear a long beep and the probe base light goes out, the
measurement is completed.
• Service: when the Service light and the probe base light flash red on
the back panel and you hear two long error beeps, the tonometer
needs service. At the same time the probe base light flashes red.
• Low battery: when the red Battery light illuminates on the back panel,
the battery charge is low and you should soon change the batteries.
• Empty battery: when the red Battery light flashes on the back panel,
the battery is empty and you must ask for a battery change or a
working tonometer from the HCP.
2. The HCP turns on the tonometer:
• Press the power button. All indicator lights on the back panel will flash
once and you will hear a short beep.
• The Load light will flash alone when the tonometer is ready to load the
probe.
