CORRECT
Proper set up of the Ocu-Film® + tip cover is essential for the precision and
accuracy of the tonometry measurement. A new Ocu-Film + tip cover must be
used for each new patient. Be certain that the film is flat across the tip, but not
too taut or too loose.
Position the Ocu-Film +
applicator on the transducer.
Roll the Ocu-Film + tip
cover onto the tip.
Remove the
applicator.

excessive pressure is not required and may lead to injury to the eye.

LCD screen during verication mode
is [dn] for down.

Troubleshooting Cleaning Procedure

2. Using canned air, place the outlet of the canned air firmly against the Transducer
Tip as shown in the below image.

nants stuck in the tip safely into the internal cavity.
3. Blow air into the tip for approximately 3 seconds. Do not perform more than 3
times consecutively.
4. The tip will be cold; allow the tip to warm to room temperature.

with either a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, 7.5% Hydrogen Peroxide solution, or
5.25% Bleach solution, and distilled water, or a Clorox¹ Bleach Germicidal Wipes
(0.55% sodium hypochlorite) or a Sani-Cloth² Prime Germicidal wipes (Didecyl
Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride, isopropyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol).
6. Perform the verification procedure after cleaning.
