1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Do not bring the tonometer into contact with the eye or push it into the eye (the tip of the
probe should be 4-8mm, or 5/32-5/16” , from the eye).
WARNING!
Keep the tonometer out of the reach of children, because the probe base, battery
compartment cover and probes are so small that a child could swallow them.
WARNING!
The tonometer probe tips have not been evaluated for the presence of endotoxins. The probe
tips are for single-use only, and are packaged sterile.
WARNING!
To prevent contamination, do not touch the bare probe, do not use a probe if it touches a
non-sterile surface like a table or a floor.
WARNING!
The Icare HOME Tonometer (TA022) is indicated for use only under supervision of a health
care professional.
WARNING!
Health care professionals must inform patients not to modify or discontinue their treatment
plan without receiving instructions from the health care professional.
WARNING!
Do not connect the USB cable during measurement, because the tonometer does not allow
you to take any measurements when the USB is connected.
WARNING!
Do not change the batteries or probe base when the USB cable is connected.
WARNING!
No modification of this equipment is allowed.
WARNING!
Use only the original and certified probes made by the manufacturer. The probes are for
single-use (single pair of measurement sequences) 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.
WARNING!
Federal (US) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or properly
licensed practitioner.
