§1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Outline of the Instrument The ARK-10000 measures the refractive condition and analyzes corneal shape of the patient’s eye. The refractive condition is measured by weak infrared rays, and corneal shape is analyzed based on placido rings projected onto the cornea. The ARK-10000 has two measurement modes: ARK mode and ARK/CT mode. In the ARK mode, AR- and KM-measured data are obtained and printed out. AR-measured data: Refractive power in the central area of the eye that is equal to the data obtained by an auto refractometer. KM-measured data: Keratometry data simulated by the analyzed result of a captured placido ring image. In the ARK/CT mode, the curvature radius and refractive power of the whole eyeball are measured and the measured data is displayed in color maps. The obtained examination data is stored in the builtin database for future display of it in color maps. The ARK-10000 has a main body and a measuring unit integrated on one base. On the base is a chin rest on the patient’s side and a floppy disk drive on the operator’s side which is used to store measured results and the maps of corneal shape. On the main body is a joystick and a printer*1 which prints measured results. On the patient’s side of the measuring unit are placido rings, while a display is on the operator’s side. The touch-screen panel not only displays a patient’s eye and measured data, but allows the operator to control the instrument through the screen.

1.2 Intended Use The OPD-Scan™ is a diagnostic instrument that is indicated for use: • Mapping of refractive power distribution of the eye, by measurement and analysis of spherical power, cylindrical power, and cylinder axis. • The measurement and analysis of corneal curvature (corneal refractive power), cylindrical power, and cylinder axis of the cornea. Mapping and display of the corneal shape, and screen out possibility of having corneal diseases or conditions.

*1 The built-in printer prints out AR-measured data etc. To print a map of corneal shape, an optional color printer is needed.

2.2 Plugging Instrument In and Handling Power Cord CAUTION • Use power outlets which meet the specified power requirements. If voltage is too high or low, the instrument may not deliver full performance, or a failure or a fire may result. • Do not overload one electrical outlet. A fire may result. • Be sure to use a (HOSPITAL GRADE) power outlet equipped with a grounding terminal in order to avoid an electric shock or a fire in the event of a power leak. • Insert the mains plug into an outlet as far as the pins of the plug go. Imperfect connection may result in a fire. • If the instrument will not be used for a long period, disconnect the mains plug from the outlet. A fire may result. • Be sure to hold a plug instead of holding its cord when disconnecting the plug from an outlet. A break in the metal core inside the cord may cause a short circuit or an electric shock. • Do not crush with heavy objects nor squeeze the power cord. The damaged power cord may cause an electric shock or a fire. • If the internal wires of the power cord are exposed, power to the instrument is turned ON or OFF when the power cord is moved, or the cord or the plug gets extremely hot, the power cord itself is damaged. Immediately discontinue use of the power cord, and replace it with a new one. Otherwise, the power cord may cause an electric shock, or a fire. • Clean between the prongs of the mains plug using a dry cloth every once in a while. If dust settles thickly on them, it is likely to attract moisture, and may cause a short circuit, or a fire. • Do not use any power cord other than the specified one that comes with the instrument. Do not use the specified power cord for any other instrument. Failure or a fire may result.

2.3 In Use CAUTION • Do not allow the patient to touch the placido ring unit on the patient’s side inadvertently. Because the placido ring unit moves up, down, to the left, or to right during automatic alignment, do not insert fingers under the unit. Fingers may be pinched in a space between the bottom of the placido ring unit and rear panel of the main body and injured. • Check the external view and operation of the instrument before use. If any abnormality is found, do not use the instrument. Use of an abnormal instrument may not produce the intended result or cause unexpected health hazard by unexpected malfunction or wrong diagnosis. • Wipe the forehead rest and chin rest before every measurement with a cloth dampened with disinfecting alcohol. Remove a sheet of chin rest paper if a pad of the paper is mounted on the chin rest. • Never smear the measuring window with fingerprints, dust, or such. The smeared window will result in extremely lower measurement accuracy. • Never use the instrument for other than its intended use. NIDEK assumes no responsible for any accidents or failures caused by the neglect of this instruction. • The objective refraction measured by the ARK-10000 is intended to be used as a reference of lens prescription for the correction of visual acuity with spectacle or contact lenses. Subjective refraction must also be used as the basis for spectacle or contact lens prescription. • Never eject a floppy disk while the lamp of the floppy disk drive is being illuminated. Damage to the floppy disk or disk drive may result. • When turning OFF the instrument, be sure to follow the instructions in “4.2.3 Power-OFF” instead of turning OFF the power switch. Turning OFF the power switch before Windows is shut down may result in a loss of data or a malfunction. • While the pointer ( ) is changed into the hourglass ( ), do not perform any operation through the touch-screen panel. A malfunction may result or the system may lock up. • The ARK-10000 runs on Windows OS of Microsoft Corporation. Follow general precautions in using Windows. For example, before shutting the computer OFF, make sure that Windows is shut down.

2-5

CAUTION • Operators are responsible for managing their data. NIDEK assumes no responsibility for a loss of data. • Be sure to back up measured data on storage disks such as a ZIP disk or DVD-RAM. In case of the corruption of the built-in hard disk, saved data will never be usable again. In addition, storage disks such as CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R which need writing software are improper for data backup. • Do not touch the touch-screen panel with anything other than fingers or the tip of a touch-screen pen. Contact of a hard or sharp object such as a ball point pen with the panel may scratch the panel. In addition, although the tip of a touch-screen pen is covered with resin which is unlikely to scratch the panel, the panel may be scratched by strongly pressing the pen against the panel. • Never press two or more points on the touch-screen panel at the same time. A malfunction may result. • In case of an instrument failure, disconnect the power cord from the outlet, and contact your authorized distributor without touching the internal structure of the instrument. • Do not install Windows application software other than the ARK-10000 software. The installation of any other Windows application software may lead to abnormal operation of the ARK-10000 and loss of stored data. In addition, the warranty may not cover the ARK-10000 if Windows application software other than the ARK-10000 software is installed. • Turn OFF power to the instrument and put a dust cover over the instrument while it is not in use. Accumulated dust, dirt, etc. may adversely affect measurement accuracy. • Never disassemble or touch the internal structure of the instrument. An electric shock, or a failure of the instrument may result.

CAUTION • Information on the avoidance of overexposure to potentially hazardous optical radiation (ISO 15004) Spectrally weighted photochemical radiances LB and LA give a measure of the potential that exists for a beam of light to cause photochemical hazard to the retina. LB gives the measure for eyes in which the crystalline lens is in place. LA gives this measure either for eyes in which the crystalline lens has been removed (aphakes) and has not been replaced by a UV-blocking lens or for the eyes of very young children. The value stated for this ophthalmic instrument gives a measure of hazard potential when the instrument is operated at maximum intensity and maximum aperture. The values of LA or LB for the ARK-10000 are sufficiently low as shown on the following page. The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and the exposure time. For instance, at a radiance level of 8 mW/(cm2•sr), 30 min irradiation of the dilated (8 mm diameter) pupil would cause the retinal exposure dose level to attain the recommended exposure limit. If the value of radiance were reduced to 0.8 mW/(cm 2•sr), ten times that time (i.e. 300 min) would be needed to reach the recommended limit. The recommended exposure dose is based on calculations arising from the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents (1995 - 1996 edition). The following page shows the graph of spectrum output for the ARK-10000. Patients will be at low risk of acute optical radiation with the ARK-10000. However, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed into the patient’s eye be limited to the minimum level which is necessary for diagnosis. The total of the retinal exposure dose must be carefully watched for infants, aphakes and persons with diseased eyes who are at greater risk when other ophthalmic instruments with a high level of radiance are used in conjunction.

2-8 { Patient environment The patient environment is the volume of space in which contact can occur between the patient and any part of the device (including connected devices) or between the patient and any other person(s) touching the device (including connected devices). Use devices that comply with IEC60601-1 in the patient environment. If any device that does not comply with IEC60601-1 is to be used, use an isolating transformer or common protective grounding.

2.4 Maintenance CAUTION • Before the replacement of fuses, turn OFF power to the instrument and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. An electric shock may result. • Use only fuses of the specified rating. A fire may result. • Pay attention not to change the numbers in the voltage indication window while replacing fuses. Accidental changing of improper voltage may result in a failure or a fire. • Only the NIDEK service personnel or those who have been trained by NIDEK are allowed to repair or disassemble the instrument. • Never use organic solvents such as a thinner, or detergents with abrasives to clean the covers, touch-screen panel, and placido rings. The covers or touch-screen panel may be corroded or scratched. Especially, cleaning of the placido rings with organic solvents or detergents with abrasives will disturb concentric ring shapes, which may lower measurement accuracy. • If the touch-screen panel becomes dirty, soak a soft cloth or gauze in water, wring it well, and wipe the panel with it. • Blow the dust off the placido rings with a blower. Careless wiping may disturb concentric ring shapes, and may lower the measurement accuracy.

NOTE • There may be a few “missing” or “dead” pixels in your touch-screen panel, which appear as black dots on an all-white background or there may be “lit” pixels, which appear as ones or several randomly-placed red, blue and/or green pixel elements on an all-black background. This does not represent a failure of the touch-screen panel; This is due to the structure of the liquid crystal display.
