A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER Thank you for purchasing the S5 Inserter™. I designed this device to eliminate the frustration that my patients had with inserting their scleral and hybrid lenses and I hope that it will do the same for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via phone, text or email if you have any questions or if there is any way that we can be of assistance to you. My contact information is included below as well as on the business card that was provided with your device.
DEVICE MAINTENANCE 1. Please clean the rubber lens holder with an alcohol wipe before every use and allow it to dry completely before placing a lens on it. 2. Immediately after inserting your lenses, take a moment to remove any liquid that may have spilled onto your device. Do not disconnect the light unit from the telescoping arm until after you have dried the outside of the light unit with a paper towel. This will help prevent water from getting into the electronic components of your device. 3.
i. Connect the female end of the provided USB extension cable to the bottom of the light unit. ii. Connect the male end of the cable to a desktop or laptop computer. b. The light unit will reach a full charge after 1 hour of being plugged in. 6. Adjusting the light brightness: a. If you notice that the light is dim after a full charge, then it’s time to switch the lens holder dock to the “extra bright” lens holder dock that was provided with your device. i. Ensure that your light unit is tuned off. ii.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE BEFORE LENS INSERTION 1. Place the suction base on a smooth, flat surface. Ensure that both the bottom of the suction base and the surface are clean and dry. 2. Hold down the outer edge of the suction base while pulling metal telescoping arm upward until it locks into place in the vertical position. This will engage the suction of the base. 3. Once the telescoping arm is in the vertical position, slide the base of the arm forward for increased stability (see picture below).
4. Extend the telescoping arm to the desired height. a. * It’s recommended that you keep the height as low as possible when you are first learning to use the device to reduce the chance of your lens being accidentally bumped off the lens holder and falling from a high distance. This could cause the lens to become lost or damaged. When you become confident in your ability to consistently insert the lens without it falling, you can increase the height to your preferred height for lens insertion. 5.
7. Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and dry them with a lint-free towel. 8. Clean the rubber lens holder with a disinfecting alcohol wipe. a. *Allow the lens holder to dry completely before placing your contact lens on it. 9. Clean the upper segment of the light unit (the part that twists) with a disinfecting alcohol wipe. a. You can use the same wipe that you previously used to clean the lens holder. 10.
LENS INSERTION 1. Place your head directly over the lens, making sure that it is level with the surface that the base was placed on. Your chin should be tucked in toward your chest. 2. Use both hands to firmly hold your upper and lower eyelids open. a. Tip: Placing your finger as close as possible to your eyelashes (without touching your eyelashes) will give you the best grip on your eyelids. 3. Keep both eyes open and slowly move your head down toward the lens until your eye makes contact with the lens.
b. It is normal for saline to spill out of the lens bowl when your eye makes contact with the lens. 4. Once you feel that the lens has made contact with your eye, move your head back up and away from the device and slowly release your eyelids. 5. Twist the top half of the light unit clockwise to turn off the light. 6. For your second eye: a. Repeat steps 10 through 12 in the “Before Lens Insertion” section to prepare your second lens for insertion. b.
7. Cover one eye at a time to see if you can notice any air bubbles that may be trapped under the lens. It may be helpful to use a mirror and a flashlight to check for air bubbles. a. If air bubbles are seen, you must remove the lens and re-insert it. AFTER LENS INSERTION Please carefully follow the instructions below to keep liquid away from the electronics of your device. Following these instructions will extend the operational life of your device. 1. Remove the rubber lens holder from the light unit.
b. If you see liquid on or near the USB port of the light unit, soak it up with a paper towel or a q-tip. If there is no liquid on the USB port, then please avoid touching it. 5. Detach the base: a. Collapse the telescoping arm down to its shortest height. b. Push the telescoping arm to the horizontal position to break the suction of the base. i.
growth of microbes in the storage case as well as reducing the chance of moisture causing damage to the electronics of your device. a. It’s recommended that you use alcohol or another disinfecting solution to clean the inside and outside of your storage case at least once per week. After cleaning, make sure that the case dries completely before using it to store your device and lens accessories.
