healthcare professional.
WARNING! Federal law (U.S.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician or properly licensed practitioner.
PRECAUTION! Do not cover the eye recognition transmitters or sensor during the
measurement, for example with your fingers. Keep your hand, hair, and objects such as
pillows away from the temple side of your eye, as they produce an infrared reflection
that causes an error.

The iCare software system consists of the following:
• iCare HOME2 tonometer
• iCare CLINIC, a browser-based software service with which the healthcare
professional and patient can view the measurement data
• iCare CLINIC On-premises, a version of iCare CLINIC that can be installed
on a hospital's or clinic's own server. With iCare CLINIC On-premises, the
measurements cannot be viewed from outside of the hospital's network or
clinic.
• iCare PATIENT2 mobile application with which the patient and healthcare
professionals can view measurement data and transfer it to the iCare
CLINIC cloud service or to iCare CLOUD
• iCare EXPORT computer software with which the patients and healthcare
professionals can transfer the measurement data into the iCare CLINIC
cloud service or iCare CLINIC On-premises or iCare CLOUD
See chapter "12 iCare software system" for details.
If a patient's tonometer is not registered to a healthcare professional's iCare
CLINIC account, the patient can store their measurement data to a private
account in the iCare CLOUD service. For information on how to set up a
private account, read the Getting started guide in the tonometer's carrying
case.
If the iCare CLOUD or iCare CLINIC cloud services are unavailable, the
measurement results remain stored in HOME2 tonometer's memory. The
measurement results can be transferred when the cloud service becomes
available again. iCare HOME2 tonometer can also be used on its own without
the iCare CLOUD and iCare CLINIC cloud services.
With the iCare HOME2 tonometer, you can measure your eye pressure.
During the measurement, the tonometer's probe gently touches your eye six

eye pressure and stores it in the tonometer's memory. The device history
shows the 100 most recent measurement results.
If your healthcare professional instructed you to measure both eyes, you can
