CAUTION: Do not attempt to modify the TONO-PEN XL tonometer or the TONO-PEN XL POWERCEL battery pack or damage to the device may occur. CAUTION: Do not store the TONO-PEN XL tonometer without an OCU-FILM tip cover or debris may enter the sensor and transducer assembly and cause malfunctions.
Setup Set Up Instructions To set up the Tono-Pen XL for operation, follow the instructions listed below: Remove all protective packaging materials. Carefully remove the tonometer and accessories from the case. Check for missing items. Visually check the instrument and accessories for damage.
Figure 3 Ocu-Film Tip Cover Placement Battery Installation The Tono-Pen XL is supplied with four OCU-CEL XL 3.0 volt lithium manganese dioxide batteries that need to be installed in the Tono-Pen XL. It is recommended that Reichert OCU-CEL XL Batteries be used when the batteries need replacement.
Calibration Calibration Procedure 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.

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]. Note: If the Tono-Pen XL fails to yield a [Good] calibration, call Reichert Technical Service. 68E3441 Rev.F...

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 6 for correct positioning.) To initiate an IOP measurement, depress the Operator’s Button once, and only once.

Once activated, after [====] is displayed and a “beep” tone is heard, touch the Tono-Pen XL unit to the cornea lightly and briefly, then withdraw. Repeat several times. The corneal surface needs only to be momentarily contacted; indentation is not required and may lead to inaccurate readings.
• “Good” indicates the calibration check procedure was successful. After two “Good” calibration checks, the Tono-Pen XL unit is ready for use in patient examinations. • “bAd” indicates the calibration check procedure was unsuccessful and must be repeated.
If the Tono-Pen XL unit is not to be used until a subsequent day, the instrument and accessories should be replaced in the storage case provided. If the Tono-Pen XL unit is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the instrument. Tono-Pen XL Body Avoid any shock or excessive vibration which will damage the unit.
