Take a measurement

WARNING! Only probes are intended for contacting the eye. Avoid touching the eye with

other parts of the tonometer. Do not push the tonometer into the eye.

WARNING! Use of eye drops right before the measurement or topical anesthesia may

affect the measurement result.

PRECAUTION! Before taking measurements, update the tonometer's time to your local

time manually from the tonometer's settings or automatically by connecting the

tonometer to the iCare PATIENT2 application or to the iCare EXPORT software.

To ensure a reliable measurement result:

• Take the measurement in a quiet place

• Remain still and avoid talking and looking around during the measurement

If you feel unsure about taking the measurement, practice the measurement

in the practice mode of the tonometer. See chapter "10.1 Practice mode".

8.1

WARNING! Do not use probes without a plastic tip. Do not use deformed probes.

Contact the manufacturer or local distributor if you notice faulty probes or probe

packages.

WARNING! Use only original and certified probes made by the manufacturer. The probes

are for single use (single pair of measurement sequences) only. Each session is defined

by one successful measurement in both eyes, but in case either eye is inflamed or

infected, measure the healthy eye first.

WARNING! Use probes taken only from an intact, original packaging. The manufacturer

cannot guarantee the sterility of the probe once the seal is compromised. Re-

sterilization or re-use of the probe could result in incorrect measurement values,

breakdown of the probe, cross-contamination of bacteria or viruses, and infection of the

eye. Re-sterilization or re-use will void all the responsibilities and liabilities of the

manufacturer concerning the safety and effectiveness of the tonometer.

WARNING! To prevent contamination, keep unused probes in their box. Do not touch a

bare probe. Do not use a probe if it touches a non-sterile surface such as a table or a

floor.

Do not use a probe if it has touched your hand, a table, or other non-

sterile surface.
