steps if necessary.
6. Inspect the lens for damage and clarity. Do not use the lens if there are chips,
cracks, or rough edges on the lens which may injure the patient's eye.
CAUTION: Do not autoclave any part of the system. Autoclaving causes irreparable
damage and voids the warranty.
CAUTION: Never immerse the entire lens piece or handpiece in any liquid or
solution. If necessary, only the distal 4 mm can be immersed. See
important not to immerse the joint where the polished metal tip meets the painted
housing, since it is susceptible to corrosion.
WARNING: If you clean or disinfect, rinse the lens with sterile water to avoid corneal
de-epithelialization that may be caused by residual solution.
Note:
For
disinfection,
recommends 1:10 dilution of bleach soak for 5 minutes.
CAUTION: As disinfection solutions may cause corrosion of the lens piece,
soak times that exceed the recommendation should be avoided.
