2.3. Disinfection
Please disinfect the Tonometer while it is switched o
ff
.
Disinfec on of the bu
ff
er ring and Tonometer rod should be per-
formed before and a er each new pa ent’s IOP measurement.
To perform the disinfec on procedure, do as follows:
1. Holding the Tonometer
with the rod down, treat the
bu
ff
er ring and the lower
part of the rod with a sterile
cloth moistened with a
disinfectant solution based
on ethyl alcohol, which does
not enter into reaction with
the metal.
2. Wipe the bu
ff
er ring and
the lower part of the rod
with a dry sterile cloth.
Disinfection of the
outer
surfaces of the Tonometer
body
(others than the
rod and the bu
ff
er ring)
is performed as may be
needed, using 3% hydrogen
peroxide solution mixed with
0.5% solution of a household
detergent.
After disinfection, wipe
the outer surfaces of the
indicator housing with a dry
sterile cloth.
The process of disinfection of the tonometer was validated
and was recognized as acceptable by the results of tests in
the mycobiological laboratory.
Attention!
Avoid penetration of the disinfectant solution
inside the Tonometer.

3. DEVICE APPLICATION PROCEDURE
3.1. Tonometer Measuring Mode Setup
EASYTON Tonometer is provided with two op ons for IOP
measuring.
M
(tonometric) IOP:
Maklakov’s scale
with a weight
load of 10 g
G
(true) IOP:
Goldmann scale
The «M» or «G» symbol
in the top right sec on of
the display indicates the
current measurement
mode.
The Goldmann IOP scale
is pre-set by the Manu-
facturer by default. The
previously set measuring
mode remains ac ve
un l the next mode
change.
Deac va on of power
supply does not cause
change of the mode set
earlier.
