Icare HOME2 Instruction Manual page 7

PRECAUTION! When removing the tonometer from its packaging, and each time before
use, visually inspect the tonometer for any external damage, particularly for possible
damage to the tonometer casing. If you suspect damage to the tonometer, contact the
manufacturer or the distributor of the tonometer.
PRECAUTION! Use only the battery type specified in the technical specification section
of this manual. Do not use rechargeable batteries, as they do not have sufficient voltage.
PRECAUTION! The tonometer switches off the display when it has not detected any
movement for 15 seconds. The tonometer switches off automatically if it has not been
used for 3 minutes.
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.
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.
PRECAUTION! Eye detection is based on the difference of infrared reflections received
from the transmitters: the nose side reflects more than the temple side. If the
transmitters become dirty, the recognition may be interfered.
PRECAUTION! To ensure the correct functioning of the tonometer, change the probe
base every six months.
PRECAUTION! Non-ME equipment (computer or mobile device) used in the system for
transferring data must comply with the electromagnetic emission and immunity
requirements for multimedia equipment: CISPR 32 and CISPR 35.
PRECAUTION! The measurement method of the tonometer is based on a magnetically
induced motion of a probe and therefore an external magnetic or radiated RF
electromagnetic field disturbing the probe may prevent the measurement. In such a case
the tonometer continuously displays error messages during measurement and asks you
to repeat the measurement. Situation can be solved either by removing the source of
interference from the vicinity of the tonometer or by performing the measurement in
different location with no such interference.
PRECAUTION! The measurement data transfer may be interrupted during
electromagnetic disturbance. In such case, reconnect the tonometer to the computer or
mobile device. If this does not solve the issue, perform the data transfer in other
location with no such interference. The measurement data will not be deleted from the
tonometer before the data is transferred successfully.
PRECAUTION! Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the
tonometer.
PRECAUTION! 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.
