Icare HOME tonometer Instruction manual for health care professionals
PRECAUTION!
• 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 bin for metal waste).
• 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 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 it is not used.
• Do not carry out any other service procedures than those described in the chapters 10-12. 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.
• Icare HOME tonometer is not intended for routine clinical use.
• As the Icare HOME is intended to acquire serial measurements of intraocular pressure over an
extended period of time, individual IOP measurements are not to be considered separate from
their associated IOP curves. This IOP measurement tool is an adjunct to the standard of care
and does not replace the conventional methods used to diagnose and manage patients nor
should it alter the follow-up schedule otherwise indicated for a particular patient.
• Bench testing of the Icare HOME tonometer on model eyes showed that there was no impact on
probe function and performance with 30 repeated uses within a single testing session. The
impact on probe function and performance when the probe is repeatedly used over 30 times is
unknown.
