Check that your line voltage is the same as that reported on the instrument
data plate. Should the values differ, contact your customer service or the
manufacturer (see INSTALLATION section). Your electrical system must
comply with CEI/IEC standards for electrical systems for medical use. In
case of doubt, contact your installation and maintenance service.
-
Never use multiple plugs, adapters, or extension cords to connect the
instrument plug to the line socket.
-
When unplugging the instrument from line power supply, even under
emergency conditions, grasp the plug and never the cord; never pull the
cord to disconnect the plug.
-
Never touch the power cord with wet hands. Check frequently that the cord
is so placed as not to be stepped on or crushed by weights. Never knot the
cord.
-
A damaged power cord can cause fires or electrical shocks. Check
frequently that the instrument power cord is in good condition. If it becomes
necessary to replace the power cord originally supplied with the instrument,
contact your supplier.
-
Do not perform any repairs or maintenance work on the instrument or the
electrical system beyond what is explained in this manual.
-
Do not use the instrument near water and be careful not to spill liquids on
any part of it. Avoid damp and dusty locations and locations subject to
brusque changes in temperature and humidity.
-
Disconnect the instrument from the line power supply before cleaning
and/or disinfecting.
-
The instrument neither generates nor receives electromagnetic
interference when used in proximity to other devices; no preventive or
corrective measures need therefore be taken.
-
The standard version instrument contains non-medical accessories
(LCD monitor, keyboard, and mouse). The resulting system is tested
in accordance with international standards EN 60601-1 “Medical
Electrical Equipment. PART 1: General Requirements for Safety” and
EN 60601-1-1 “Collateral Standard: Safety Requirements for Medical
Electrical Systems” and is fully compliant with these standards. Note
that the standard version instrument can be connected to other

instruments, medical electrical and not; bon Optic cannot test the
compliance of all possible system configurations
-
Any additional accessories (printer, scanner, CD reader, etc..)
connected to the analog or digital interfaces must be certified in
accordance with the standards listed below:
For the United States of America:
UL 1950 for ITE devices.
UL 2601-1 for medical electrical devices.
For Europe:
EN 60950 for ITE devices.
EN 60601-1 for medical electrical devices;
-
Once all the equipment making up the system has been connected
and assembled, check that the resulting medical electrical system
complies to the requirements set by EN 60601-1-1 “Collateral
Standard: Safety Requirements for Medical Electrical Systems.”
-
Should the leakage current values exceed the limits set by standard
EN 60601-1-1, additional safety measures must be adopted as
suggested by the standard itself. In this case, we recommend
powering the entire system through a safety insulating transformer.

The endothelium is the deep layer of the cornea, in a young subject about 5
micrometers in thickness and possessing about 300,000 hexagonal cells.
The endothelium is important for correct corneal function; for this reason,
analysis of the endothelium is of fundamental importance for diagnosis of the
health of the eye.
The most important characteristic of endothelial cells is their lack of reproductive
capacity; age, surgical treatment, and use of contact lenses are factor
influencing their quantity and form.
As already mentioned, the cells composing the endothelium, which are
hexagonal in children and younger people, do not reproduce and their form and
quantity influence the health of the cornea. At birth, the endothelium contains
about 4000 cells/mm
2
; with time, the number decreases and the structure of the
layer accordingly changes.
The bon Optic specular microscope permits obtaining electronic photographs of
the patient’s endothelium with no instrument contact with the patient. The
acquired endothelium image can then be mathematically processed to display
clinically-useful endothelial parameters relative to the cells, including: cell
number and density, form, surface area, mean area, standard deviation,
coefficient of variation, percentage of cells of different forms, histogram of cell
area distribution, pachimetric datum.
The bon Optic specular microscope permits performing:
•Non-invasive examination of the endothelial tissue.
•Automatic focusing of the endothelial layer of the cornea.
Automatic search for cell borders and broad-based statistical analysis of the
data.
The bon Optic specular microscope is an indispensable aid in diagnosing
corneal health.

Page 6 of 45
It is extremely useful in pre- and post-transplant examinations, after cataract
surgery, and for analysis of trauma damage to the cornea.
Since the examinations performed with the bon Optic specular microscope are
totally non-invasive with no patient contact,:
•there is no risk of transmission of infectious diseases.
•the examination is absolutely painless and does not require use of any
local anesthetics.

occluded corneas. It may be impossible to acquire images of
the epithelium of the corneas of these subjects.
Always check that the patient’s chin is correctly positioned on
the chin rest and his forehead is firmly placed against the
forehead rest.
There are endothelia which could be acquired with a certain
difficulties, and can give ambiguous result. These can be:
irregular corneas, recently-treated patients (3-4 days), patients
suffering from keratoconus.
Check that the patient’s eye is not obstructed by the lid or
lashes, and that there are no teardrops on the eye surface, lids,
or lashes. If necessary, help the patient open his eyelids fully or
dry his eyes before beginning examination.

vice-versa, on the left side to capture the right
eye.
Check that the patient’s chin is solidly
positioned on the chin rest and the forehead on
the forehead rest.
If the patient is not correctly positioned, the
reflection will fall outside of the green square
and the
icon will be disabled Fig. 9. Move
the patient’s head, if necessary changing chin
rest elevation, until the reflection of the eye
falls within the scanning quadrant as shown in
Fig. 10.
Ensure that the patient always looks directly at
the fixation point inside the instrument and
does not close the eye during the examination.
The reflection of the eye in the scanning
quadrant must be in focus. Use the and
keyboard arrows to optimize focus.
To start the examination, click the
capture

8.8 CAPTURING CORNEAS
WITH DIFFERENT
THICKNESSES
A new cursor has been added to regulate the
quality of capture of corneas with differing
thicknesses. This cursor contains various
values from -5 to +5 with a default 0 position at
the center. In general, if the patient is correctly
positioned and the cornea is normal, the cursor
may be left in the 0 position.
The effect produced by thicker-than-normal
corneas is to yield images that are not perfectly
in focus on the left-hand side. In this case,
move the cursor to the positive values to obtain
images in better focus.
The effect produced by thinner-than-normal
corneas is to yield images that are not perfectly
in focus on the right-hand side. In this case,
move the cursor to the negative values to
improve capture.
8.8.1 EXAMPLES
Fig. 14 – Focused image
To aid in understanding the correct correction
value to be used, an indicative scale is
displayed over the preview image.
In order for the pachymetric datum supplied by
the instrument to be reliable, the image must
be perfectly focused and the left edge of the
captured image must correspond to the “0”
value on the scale at the top of the screen
(Figure 14).

Page 19 of 45
Fig. 15 – Positive correction
If the left edge of the image corresponds to a
positive value, repeat capture after setting the
