Medical assessment is necessary and due care is to be exercised. Only clean and disinfected measuring prisms should be used • Examinations should only be conducted with cleaned and disinfected measuring prisms. • Tonometer prisms are not dispatched in a disinfected state and should always be disinfected before use. • The disinfecting of contact glasses eg. with cotton wool or damp cloth without putting them into disinfecting fluid is insufficient and not allowed. • Incorrect medical disinfecting fluid can cause patients to be infected and can also cause damage to the eyes. • Residue of the disinfecting may cause provoking or caustic reactions on the patient's eye, therefore rinse thoroughly. • Measuring prisms must be removed from the holder and be put into disinfecting fluid. • Cleaning and disinfecting is to be carried out according to Appendix B, Paragraph B.3 and short manual. For patients with contagious diseases, we recommend the use of a disposable measuring body of the Type Tonosafe. No damaged prisms should be used • Before each use the contact surface of all prisms should be verified for contamination or damage (such as scratching, rips or sharp edges). The slit lamp microscope is best used for this purpose at a magnification of 10x to 16x. • If cracks form, the disinfectant may get into the hollow interior and can enter the patient’s eye while tonometry is taking place, leading to irritation of the cornea. Defective measuring prisms should not be used, in order to avoid any damage to the cornea of the patient. • In case of inaccurate measuring results, please observe the functional verifications. Control • This type of sensitive measuring equipment is to be checked after exposure to external force (e.g. unintentional shocks or being allowed to fall) in accordance with Appendix. If repair is necessary please contact your Haag-Streit distributor. Download the Instruction for Use Ring for pris «-Tilbage Print
