WARNING!
The safety and effectiveness of the Icare HOME tonometer has not been evaluated for
patients with:
Uncorrected Near Visual Acuity of 20/200 or worse. Only one functional eye.
Poor or eccentric fixation. Hearing impairment to the extent that the individual cannot
hear and converse with others without an assistive aid and/or sign language. High corneal
astigmatism >3D. Disabling arthritis or limited motor coordination affecting self-handling of
the Icare tonometer. Lack of comprehension or willingness to use the tonometer as instructed.
Corneal scarring. History of prior incisional glaucoma surgery or corneal surgery, including
corneal laser surgery. Microphthalmos. Buphthalmos. Contact Lens Use
Dry eyes. Blepharospasm. Nystagmus. Keratoconus. Central corneal thickness greater than
0.60mm or less than 0.50mm. Age < 40 years old.
NOTE!
• When you have opened the package, check for any external damage or faults, particularly
for damage to the case. If you suspect that there is something wrong with the tonometer,
contact the dealer who sold the tonometer to you.
• Use the tonometer only for measuring intraocular pressure. Any other use is improper
and the manufacturer is not liable for any damage arising from improper use, or for the
consequences of such use.
• Never open the casing of the tonometer, except for the battery compartment.
• Never allow the tonometer to get wet.
• Do not use the tonometer near flammable substances, including flammable anesthetic
agents.
• Certain microbiological agents (for example, bacteria) can be transmitted from the
forehead or cheek support. To prevent this, clean the forehead and cheek support for each
new patient with disinfectant. See the chapter ‘Cleaning and disinfection’.
• The tonometer conforms to EMC requirements (IEC 60601-1-2), but interference may occur
within the tonometer if used near (<1m) a device causing high intensity electromagnetic
emissions, such as a cellular phone. Although the tonometer’s own electromagnetic
emissions are well below the levels permitted by the relevant standards, they may cause
interference in other, nearby devices, for example sensitive sensors.
• If you do not use the tonometer for a long time, remove the batteries, as they may leak.
• Be sure to dispose of the single-use probes properly (for example, in a container for
disposable needles).
• Batteries, packaging materials and probe bases must be disposed of according to local
regulations.
• Make sure you use batteries with built-in PTC protection, for example Energizer Lithium
Photo 123 3V CR123A.
• Do not cover the eye recognition transmitters or sensor during the measurement, for
example with your fingers. Keep your hand, hair etc. and objects such as pillows away
from the temple side of your eye, as they produce an infrared reflection that causes an
error.
• The tonometer turns off automatically after 3 minutes if you do not use it.
• Do not carry out any other service procedures. Leave all other service and repairs to the
manufacturer or a certified service center.
• Update the tonometer’s time to your local time. It is done automatically by performing the
steps 1 and 2 under section 8. Reading the measurement data.
