SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
The tonometer must not come into contact with the patient’s eyes, except for the probes, which may do so for a fraction of a second during measurement.
Do not push the tonometer into the eye (the tip of the probe should be 4-8mm, or 5/32 - 5/16 inch, from the eye).
WARNING
The tonometer should only be opened by qualified service personnel. It contains no userserviceable 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 or cleaning the probe base.
If servicing is necessary, contact qualified service personnel or your local Icare representative.
WARNING
Never immerse the Icare tonometer, spray, pour or spill liquid onto the Icare tonometer, its accessories, connectors, switches or openings in the chassis.
Dry any liquid on the surface of the tonometer immediately.
WARNING
Use of any accessories other than those specified in the manufacturer’s documentation, with the exception of items sold by the manufacturer as replacement
parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Icare tonometer.
WARNING
Use of any accessory with the Icare tonometer other than those specified may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Icare tonometer.
WARNING
Use only the original and certified probes made by the manufacturer. The probes are for single-use (one per testing session) only. Use probes taken only from
the intact, original packaging. The manufacturer cannot guarantee sterility of the probe once the seal is compromised. Re-sterilization or re-use of the probe
could result in incorrect measurement values, in the breakdown of the probe, cross-contamination of bacteria or viruses, and infection of the eye. Re-sterilization
or re-use will void all responsibilities and liabilities of the manufacturer concerning the safety and effectiveness of the tonometer.
NOTE
Read this manual carefully, since it contains important information on using and servicing the tonometer.
Retain this manual for future use.
If you do not use the tonometer, it will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.
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 manufacturer or distributor.
Use the tonometer only for measuring intraocular pressure. Any other use is improper and the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage arising from
improper use, or for the consequences thereof. Use the tonometer only for measuring intraocular pressure of animals.
Never open the casing of the tonometer, except for the battery compartment or to change the probe base.
This manual contains instructions for replacing batteries and changing the probe base.
Never use the tonometer in wet or damp conditions.
The probe base, battery compartment cover, screws, collar and probes are so small that a child or animal could swallow them. Keep the tonometer out of the
reach of children or animals.
Do not use the device if it is broken.
Do not use the device near inflammable substances, including inflammable anesthetic agents.
Prior to each measurement, check that a new disposable probe from an intact package is being used.
Be sure that the probe contains the small plastic round tip in front.
Certain microbiological agents (e.g. bacteria) can be transmitted from the measuring support. To avoid this, clean the forehead support after each patient with a
disinfectant, e.g. an alcohol solution.
The tonometer conforms to EMC requirements (IEC 60101-1-2), but interference may occur in it if used near (<1m) a device (such as a cellular phone) causing
high-intensity electromagnetic emissions. Although the tonometer’s own electromagnetic emissions are well below the levels permitted by the relevant stan-
dards, they may cause interference in other, nearby devices, e.g. sensitive sensors.
If the device is not to be used for a long time, we recommend that you remove its AA batteries, since they may leak. Removing the batteries will not affect the
subsequent functioning of the tonometer.
Be sure to dispose of the single-use probes properly (e.g. in a container for disposable needles), because they may contain micro-organisms from the patient.
Batteries, packaging materials and probe bases must be disposed of according to local regulations.
No part of the tonometer or probes are made with natural rubber latex.
