6.3 LOADING THE PROBE

WARNING!
To prevent contamination, do not touch the bare probe, do not use a probe if it touches
a non-sterile surface like a table or a floor.
WARNING!
Use only the original and certified probes made by the manufacturer. The probes are for
single-use (single pair of measurement sequences) 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.
The Icare HOME tonometer uses single-use probes
that are packed in a plastic tube and wrapped in blister
packs as shown in the figures left.
