Instrument Preparation

Prior to using the TONO-PEN XL for IOP measurement prepare the instrument

according to the instructions below:

Allow the instrument to thermally stabilize at room temperature (72-82° F, 22

- 28° C) for approximately 30 minutes prior to use.

Remove the Ocu-Film Tip Cover from the probe. Visually inspect the

tonometer’s probe tip for cracks, chips or other irregularities. If irregularities

are present, contact Reichert. Do not use the instrument.

If the probe tip passes a visual inspection, proceed.

To help prevent build-up of debris around the probe post, spray the probe tip

with compressed gas before the rst use of the day.

Cover the TONO-PEN XL probe tip with a new Ocu-Film Tip Cover. Reichert

Ocu-Film Tip Covers are:

• I

ndividually wrapped and non-sterile sanitized

• For Single Use only

Perform daily routine calibration (See page 11)

Note: Calibration should only be performed on the TONO-PEN once daily, unless otherwise

indicated by the instrument. The TONO-PEN does not require calibration after every

patient examination.

CAUTION

Do not use the instrument without an Ocu-Film Tip Cover. Use without an Ocu-Film

Tip Cover will damage the instrument and void the Warranty.

Performing IOP Measurements

After the TONO-PEN XL has been prepared for operation, the patient must be

prepared and then IOP measurements can be performed.

CAUTION

Ocu-Film contains natural rubber LATEX which may cause allergic reactions.

Question patients about allergies to Latex before examining them with the TONO-

PEN XL.

To prepare a patient for an IOP measurement:

Instill a drop of topical anesthetic onto the eye to be examined.

Position the patient, seated or supine, in front of a xation target; or have the

patient xate on a point of reference (i.e. ear, nose, distant object) to minimize

eye movement.

Note: The TONO-PEN XL unit will function in any stable position.
