Safety issues to consider when using the PachPen
The PachPen is noninvasive. The pachymeter probe touches the surface of the
anesthetized cornea during the exam process.
Indications for use
This instrument is used for measuring the corneal thickness of the eye. It is to be used
in a medical setting and only by physicians, optometrists, and technicians who are
experienced in corneal thickness measurement techniques.
Caution: General indications for use of the PachPen include on external, structurally
intact areas of the eye globe and orbit only.
Battery disposal
Follow the procedure outlined below for proper disposal of lithium batteries.
1. Guidelines for the disposal of lithium batteries are continually under review.
Waste-management companies can provide assistance in the disposal of these
cells and batteries.
2. Disposal should be done in accordance with applicable regulations, which
vary from country to country. In most countries, disposal of used batteries in
the trash is forbidden. Disposal can be done through nonprofit organizations
mandated by local authorities or organized by professionals.
3. Cells and batteries should not be incinerated unless suitable procedures are
followed and appropriate precautions have been taken by qualified handlers.
Exposure of these cells to high temperatures or fire can cause the cells to vent
and/or rupture.
4. Used batteries should be shipped with the same regulations as those for new
lithium/thionyl chloride batteries.
5. Keeler recommends that cells and batteries for disposal should be collected,
transported, and disposed of in a manner that will prevent short-circuit (the
terminals taped).
6. Handling of used cells and batteries should be done according to the safety
instructions of fresh cells.
7. Recycling of the cells and batteries should be done in authorized facilities,
through a licensed waste carrier. A recycler in United States is listed on the next
page.
