All bon Optic products are manufactured to rigorous safety standards. In
particular, the SP 01 specular microscope is a high-performance instrument. In
order to use it efficiently and in complete safety we recommend reading this
manual carefully before beginning installation and heeding all the safety
warnings provided herein and on the instrument labels. Even technicians who
have already used this type of instrument should verify their knowledge of the
instructions contained in this manual. Keep this manual near the instrument
for handy reference during use
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
S

Page 6
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/mm2; 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 5 of 45
Page 7
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.

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
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).
Fig. 14 – Focused image
Page 18 of 45
Page 20
If the left edge of the image corresponds to a
positive value, repeat capture after setting the
cursor to the corresponding scale value. In the
example (Figure 15), repeat the capture with
the thickness value set to “+2.”
Fig. 15 – Positive correction
If the left edge of the image corresponds to a
negative value, repeat capture after setting the

8.16 ANALYSIS RESULTS
The processing window on the right-hand side
of the screen displays the graphs and
numerical results.
The POLYMEGATHISM graph presents the
number of cells with surfaces within the
highlighted intervals.
The PLEOMORPHISM graph presents the
percentages of cells having like numbers of
sides, corresponding to the scale.
Cells : the number of cells counted for
processing.
Total area : the area of the endothelium
surface processed.
SEM (Standard Error of the Mean): evaluates
the reliability of the measurement by
comparing sample variability
(standard deviation of the area) with
the number of elements measured:
SEM =
Area (Avg±SD) : average cell surface area
with uncertainty given by standard deviation.
Density : density is given in cells per square
millimeter [cell/mm2]. An indicative normal
value for a young male is 2500-3000
cells/mm2.
CV (Coefficient of Variation): cell morphology
is expressed using the Coefficient of
Variation (CV), which is the ratio
between the observed standard
deviation and the arithmetic mean of
all the cells examined. With reference
to the Matsuda-Schultz index, an
average value is less than 35.
CV =

captured during the examination. The
accuracy of corneal thickness
measurement is strictly correlated
with the quality of the captured image
and for this reason the datum must
be considered only indicative and
approximate.

The SP 02 Specular Microscope is the product of extensive research
conducted in collaboration with highly-accredited professionals in order
to ensure the very best in technological innovations, quality, and design.
The system incorporates a number of innovative solutions and therefore
offers several features that make it unique. Let us mention a few:
1) There is no photosensor or linear sensor on the return light path.
The image capture procedure is managed and implemented by
the software to guarantee greater reliability (through reduction in
the number of electronic components), lower production cost,
and greater operational versatility.
2) The CCD digital camera ensures high-contrast, high-quality
images.
3) The patient and exam files and captured images are stored in a
relational database to permit working with the acquired data at
any time following the examination.
4) The system supports data exchange via other applications in
Intranet/Internet environments: the message format is XML and
the SOAP protocol is used.
5) Future system expansions could include remote diagnostics and
automated examination with no need of operator assistance.
6) The cell-count software is completely automatic and processes
parameters that are not always supplied by other systems.
Software Features
The software can evaluate all the relevant data offered by the endothelial
analysis, including the following cell size variability summary data
(polymegathism):
• Number of cells in the area measured
• Cell density
• Mean cell area
• Standard deviation of the analyzed cells
• Coefficient of Variation
• Standard error of the mean (SEM)
• Histogram of cell size distribution
and the following cell morphology summary data:
• Hexagonal deviation (percentage of hexagonal cells)
• Form factor
• Histogram of cell form distribution.
The images are of excellent quality and cell count is fully automatic,
although manual editing operations can be performed when necessary.
This system permits automatically counting up to 400 cells with a single
capture: the high number of cells analyzed permits obtaining statisticallyrelevant and extremely repeatable data. The endothelial data analyses
and the images can be saved in an archive together with the patient’s
personal data. This archive may be integrated with the bon software
solutions for Corneal Topography and the Digital Slit Lamp.
