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.
4.2 Calibration
The Tono Pen XL unit is internally calibrated, thus the instrument calibration should be checked only before the first use each
day or in the event of unanticipated readings. Calibration must
be routinely and successfully performed once daily prior to instrument use. Calibration should also be performed whenever it
is indicated by the LCD display, when batteries are replaced, or
after an unsuccessful calibration. It is not necessary to check
calibration prior to each use.
*Note:
once and the Tono-Pen displays CAL, the Tono-Pen needs to be
calibrated.
The calibration procedure is as follows:
Point the transducer end of the Tono-Pen straight

4.2.1 Unsuccessful Calibration
if several consecutive attempts at checking the calibration are
unsuccessful:
•
Loosen or remove the Ocu-Film Tip Cover from the Tono-Pen
XL probe tip and repeat the calibration check.
If still unsuccessful:
•
Spray the probe tip with compressed gas (see Section 5 for
details of this proce-dure), and repeat the calibration check.
If still unsuccessful:
•
Replace the batteries (see Section 3 for the procedure) and
repeat the calibration check.
*Note:
Do not take measurements with the instrument if two
consecutive "good" calibration checks cannot be obtained.
The instrument will not take a measurement when the prior
calibration check was ''bAd".

4.3.1 Patient Preparation
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:
1. Instill a dropoftopical anesthetic onto the eye to be examined.
2.
Position the patient, seated or supine, in front of a fixation
target: or have the patient fixate on a pointofreference (i.e. ear,
nose, distant object) to minimize eye movement.
*Note:
The Tono-Pen XL unit will function in any stable position.
4.3.2 Patient Examination
To perform an IOP measurement:
1.
Instruct the patient to look straight ahead at the fixation
target with his/her eyes fully open.
2.
Hold the Tono-Pen XL unit as you would a pencil.
3.
Position yourself to facilitate viewing of the probe tip and
patient's cornea where contact will be made. For normal
corneas. central corneal contact is recommended.
4.
Brace the heel of your hand on the patient's cheek for stability
while holding the Tono-Pen XL unit perpendicular to and within
1/2 inch of the patient's cornea. (See Figure 4-1 for correct
positioning.)

To take another measurement, reactivate the Tono-Pen XL
unit by pressing and releasing the activation switch as
described in step 5.
*Note:
If not reactivated within 25 seconds, the Tono-Pen XL unit
will automatically turn off and the LCD will clear, placing the
device in sleep mode, to conserve battery life. If this occurs,
activate the Tono Pen XL by pressing the Operators Button once.
10.
Replace the Ocu-Film Tip Cover before using the Tono-
Pen XL unit on another patient and before storage.
*Note: Failure to replace the Ocu-Film Tip Cover between
patients may result in unreliable readings of IOP by allowing
debris to enter the transducer assembly.
*Note:
A reused Ocu-Film Tip Cover may leak. This may
cause damage to the strain gauge and void the Warranty.
