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
or 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 this equipment adjacent to or stacked
with other equipment should be avoided
because it could result in improper operation.
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 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.
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-use
will void all responsibilities and liabilities of
the manufacturer concerning the safety and
effectiveness of the tonometer.
CAUTION
Read this manual carefully, since it contains
important information on using and servicing
the tonometer.
Retain this manual for future use.
Do not use anesthetic to numb the eye, because
no anesthetic is required when performing
measurements and anesthetic can affect the
measurement results.
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
