Icare ic100 tonometer manual

ENGLISH

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING The tonometer must not come into contact with the patient’s eyes, except for the probes, which may do so for a fraction of a second during measurement. Do not push the tonometer into the eye (the tip of the probe should be 4-8mm, or 5/32 - 5/16 inch, from the eye. WARNING The tonometer should only be opened by qualified service personnel. It contains no userserviceable parts, apart from the batteries and a probe base. The Icare tonometer requires no routine servicing or calibration other than changing the batteries at least every 12 months or changing or cleaning the probe base. If servicing is necessary, contact qualified service personnel or your local Icare representative. WARNING Never immerse the Icare tonometer, spray, pour or spill liquid onto the Icare tonometer, its accessories, connectors, switches or openings in the chassis. Dry any liquid on the surface of the tonometer immediately. WARNING Use of this equipment adjacent to or stacked with other equipment should be avoided because it could result in improper operation. If such use is necessary, this equipment and the other equipment should be observed to verify that they are operating normally. WARNING Use of accessories other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer of this equipment could result in increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity of this equipment and result in improper operation. WARNING Use only the original and certified probes made by the manufacturer. The probes are for single-use (one per testing session) only. Use probes taken only from the intact, original packaging. Re-use of the probe could result in incorrect measurement values, in the breakdown of the probe, cross-contamination of bacteria or viruses, and infection of the eye. Re-use will void all responsibilities and liabilities of the manufacturer concerning the safety and effectiveness of the tonometer. NOTE Read this manual carefully, since it contains important information on using and servicing the tonometer. Retain this manual for future use. Do not use anesthetic to numb the eye, because no anesthetic is required when performing measurements and anesthetic can affect the measurement results. If you do not use the tonometer, it will switch off automatically after 3 minutes. When you have opened the package, check for any external damage or faults, particularly for damage to the case. If you suspect that there is something wrong with the tonometer, contact the manufacturer or distributor. Use the tonometer only for measuring intraocular pressure. Any other use is improper and the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage arising from improper use, or for the consequences thereof. Never open the casing of the tonometer, except for the battery compartment or to change the probe base. This manual contains instructions for replacing batteries and changing the probe base. Never use the tonometer in wet or damp conditions. The probe base, battery compartment cover, screws, collar and probes are so small that a child could swallow them. Keep the tonometer out of the reach of children. Do not use the device if it is broken. Do not use the device near inflammable substances, including inflammable anesthetic agents. Prior to each measurement, check that a new disposable probe from an intact package is being used. Be sure that the probe contains the small plastic round tip in front. Certain microbiological agents (e.g. bacteria) can be transmitted from the forehead support. To avoid this, clean the forehead support after each patient with a disinfectant, e.g. an alcohol solution. The tonometer conforms to EMC requirements (IEC 60101-1-2), but interference may occur in it if used near (<1m) a device (such as a cellular phone) causing high-intensity electromagnetic emissions. 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, e.g. sensitive sensors. If the device is not to be used for a long time, we recommend that you remove its AA batteries, since they may leak. Removing the batteries will not affect the subsequent functioning of the tonometer. Be sure to dispose of the single-use probes properly (e.g. in a container for disposable needles), because they may contain micro-organisms from the patient. Batteries, packaging materials and probe bases must be disposed of according to local regulations. No part of the tonometer or probes are made with natural rubber latex.

Icare ic100 tonometer manual

ENGLISH

INTENDED USE The Icare ic100 tonometer is intended to be used for the measurement of intraocular pressure of the human eye.

INTRODUCTION The Icare ic100 tonometer is based on a patented, induction-based rebound method, which allows intraocular pressure (IOP) to be measured accurately, rapidly and without an anesthetic. The tonometer uses the rebound method. A small and light single-use probe makes contact with the eye very briefly. The tonometer measures the deceleration of the probe and the rebound time, and calculates the IOP from these parameters. A measurement sequence includes six measurements. The probe moves to the cornea and back during every measurement. As a result, after the six measurements the tonometer calculates the final IOP and stores it in the tonometer’s memory.

PACKAGE CONTENTS NOTE! When you have opened the package, check for any external damage or flaws, particularly for damage to the case. If you suspect that there is something wrong with the tonometer, contact the manufacturer or distributor. The package contains: • Icare ic100 tonometer • 4 x AA batteries • 100 single use probes in a box • wrist strap • silicone grip • IOP pad

To turn the tonometer on press the Select or Measure button. The following are illustrations of these two alternative ways of starting the tonometer:

MEASURE LOAD Pressing the Select button

Pressing the Measure button

LOADING THE PROBE Step 1. Remove the probe base cover (do not dispose of the cover) and open the probe tube by removing the cap and insert the probe into the probe base as shown in the image.

Step 2. After loading the probe the tonometer will be ready for measurement when Play-symbol appears on the display.

PROBE BASE LIGHT INDICATION The probe base light serves two purposes. First, it helps guide alignment of the device by showing a red light when the device is in the wrong position (i.e. too much vertical tilt) and a green light when the orientation is correct. Second, it indicates errors (see section Error and Info Messages) in addition to the display during the measurement sequence. When any of these errors occurs, the probe base light flashes red until the error is cleared by pressing the “Measure” button. The probe base light flashes red also when the text REPEAT with the yellow repeat symbol come on the display indicating a measurement sequence with too high deviation.

MEASUREMENT NOTE If you do not use the tonometer, it will switch off automatically after 3 minutes. NOTE No anesthetic is required when performing measurements. *Since local anesthetic may lower the tonometer reading, we recommend that you refrain from using an anesthetic when performing measurements.

STEP 1. Ask the patient to relax and look straight ahead at a specific point. Bring the tonometer near the patient’s eye.

Correct head and eye position.

Incorrect head and eye position.

STEP 2. The device should be in a horizontal position. Keep the probe horizontal and pointing perpendicularly to the center of the cornea. The distance from the tip of the probe to the patient’s cornea (see picture) should be 4-8 mm (5/32 - 5/16 inch). If necessary, adjust the distance by turning the forehead support adjusting wheel.

If probe base light indication is set OFF green arrows will indicate the correct alignment of the tonometer.

Correct alignment of the tonometer and green probe base light indication.

STEP 3. You may perform the measurement in single or series mode. S  ingle mode: Press the Measure button lightly to perform the measurement, taking care not to shake the tonometer. The tip of the probe should make contact with the central cornea. Six measurements should be made consecutively, blue segments will be lit after every successful measurement. After each successful measurement, you will hear a short beep. S  eries mode: Keep the Measure button down to obtain the sequence of six measurements, blue segments will be lit after every successful measurement.

To obtain the final reading, six measurements are required. The measurement values displayed before the final result are average values for all previous measurements (1.-5.). Single measurement values are not shown. If there is an erroneous measurement, the tonometer will beep twice and display an error message. Press the Measure button to clear the error message. If several erroneous measurements appear, see error messages.

TOO NEAR STEP 4. Once the six measurements have been performed, you will hear a long beep. The final IOP will be shown on the display rounded by green (perfect) or yellow (some variation) segments. If variation is too big, Repeat will be displayed. The displayed result is an average of four measurements as the highest and the lowest reading are discarded before the average calculation.

REPEAT

The colors green and yellow as well as repeat indication are related to the standard deviation (SD) of the probe’s motion parameters of the four remaining measurements.

STEP 5. Following the performance of the entire measurement, a new measurement series can be begun by pressing the Measure button. The tonometer will then reactivate the probe and be ready for the next measurement series with the Play symbol on the display. The measurement sequence can be aborted by pressing the Select button. Place the probe base cover back to cover the probe base when the tonometer is not in use.

If the user doubts the validity of the measurement (for example, if the probe made contact with the eyelid, or missed the central cornea etc.), it is recommended that he/she repeat the measurement. In addition, when encountering unusual values (for example, very high or very low values) it is recommended that a repeat measurement be taken either with the Icare tonometer or an alternative method to verify the result.
