Tono-Pen VET Tonometer Preparation
1. Allow the instrument to thermally stabilize to room temperature for
approximately 30 minutes prior to use.
2. Remove the storage Ocu-Film + tip cover from the Transducer As-
sembly.
3. Visually inspect the Transducer Assembly for cracks, chips
or other irregularities. Do not use if these conditions are present.
4. Slide an Ocu-Film + Tip Cover onto the Transducer Assembly until
the ridge is seated, taking care not to apply the tip cover too tightly or
too loosely. Make certain that the rubber is at across the tip, but not
taut. Refer to Figure 4.

ly, unless otherwise indicated by the instrument. The Tono-Pen
does not require calibration after every patient examination.
Note: Use of the Ocu-Film + Tip Cover is required under original
Tono-Pen instrument warranty and service contract terms.
Note: Corneal topical anesthetic is required with tonometry.
