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 1/6 – 1/3 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 any accessories other than those specified in the manufacturer’s documentation, with the exception of items sold by the manufacturer as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Icare ic100 tonometer.

WARNING

Use of any accessory with the Icare ic100 tonometer other than those specified may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the Icare ic100 tonometer.

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. The manufacturer cannot guarantee sterility of the probe once the seal is compromised. Re-sterilization or 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-sterilization or 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: 2001), 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.

NOTE

Federal law (U.S.) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.

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 used in the diagnosis, follow up and screening of glaucoma. It is based on a patented, induction-based rebound method, which allows intraocular pressure (IOP) to be measured accurately, rapidly and without an anesthetic.

Since single-use probes are used for measurement, there is no risk of microbiological contamination. No part of the tonometer or probes are made with natural rubber latex. Intraocular pressure changes due to the effects of the pulse, breathing, eye movements and body position. Because measurements are taken using a handheld device in fractions of a second, several measurements are needed to obtain an accurate reading and therefore the software is pre-programmed for six measurements.

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.

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

Incorrect alignment of the tonometer and red probe base light indication.

Icare ic100 tonometer manual ENGLISH

STEP 3.

You may perform the measurement in single or series mode.

Single 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.

Series mode: Keep the Measure button down to obtain the sequence of six measurements, blue segments will be lit after every succesful measurement.

To obtain the most accurate 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.

STEP 4.

Once the six measurements have been performed, you will hear a long beeb. 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.

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

The equivalence between the displayed color/repeat indication and SD is following:

Green -> SD less or equal to 2.5

Yellow -> SD higher than 2.5 and less or equal to 3.5.

Repeat -> SD higher than 3.5.

Repeat is also displayed for SD higher than 2.5 and less or equal to 3.5 if the IOP result is higher than 19.

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.

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.), we recommend that he/she makes a new measurement. In addition, when encountering unusual values (for example over 22mmHg or below 8 mmHg) we recommend taking of a new measurement to verify the result.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
