Cleaning Procedures
For cleaning purposes, the RetCam3 is divided into two categories:
• The Lens Piece that contacts the patient
• The rest of the system
Cleaning the Lens Piece
The patient contact area lens should be cleaned immediately after use to prevent
the coupling gel from hardening.
1. Wipe away debris from the front lens piece surface with a soft dry tissue, sterile
water soaked tissue, or combination.
2. Then, using a clean soft cloth (such as sterile gauze) saturated in a fresh
solution of 70% IPA (isopropyl alcohol), gently wipe the front of the lens piece,
being sure to pay special attention to the concave contact lens area, to remove
any remaining debris. Use at least 11 wipes with a clean saturated cloth.
3. Rinse surface thoroughly using sterile water.
4. Air dry.
