BIOM® ready
Proper Use
This Binocular Indirect Ophthalmo-Microscope (BIOM® ready) is used for non-contact
observation of surgical procedures in the posterior section of the eye.
The BIOM® ready is intended for single use only. It may only be used in sterile conditions.
It cannot be re-processed for reuse
The BIOM® ready is intended for use in conjunction with compatible surgical microscopes
in hospitals, clinics and other medical institutions.
The BIOM® ready is available in models for a focal length of f=175 mm or for a focal
length of f= 200 mm. It has a wide-angle front lens and a reduction lens.
The maximum observation of the fundus is approx. 120°, the working distance (front lens
- cornea) is approx. 3-4 mm.
The surgical microscopes must be designated as adaptable by OCULUS Optikgeräte GmbH,
see page 4.

Mode of Operation

In conjunction with an SDI (Stereoscopic Diagonal Inverter) for erecting the image, the
BIOM® ready enables non-contact, wide- angle observation of the fundus and vitreous
cavity.
The combination of a surgical microscope and the optical components of the BIOM®
ready allows the vitreous cavity to be observed under stereoscopic conditions. As an
indirect ophthalmo-microscope, the BIOM® ready works without touching the cornea
during the surgical procedure.
The patient's eyeball can be moved freely during the procedure. Peripheral fundus
sections are thus easy to see.
The optical system of the BIOM® ready consists of a reduction lens and a front lens. The
reduction lens ensures a more or less constant distance between the patient's eye and the
surgical microscope when swinging the BIOM® ready in and out.
The position of the reduction lens with respect to the surgical microscope is fixed.
The BIOM® ready image is focused by adjusting the height of the front lens. The bottom
part is used to adjust the height of the front lens. The distance between the surgical
microscope and the front lens is set manually using the focusing knob at the
BIOM® ready.

Unpacking
Caution Risk to the patient: Contamination if unpacked incorrectly
The BIOM® ready is sterile-packed. If you unpack the BIOM®
ready incorrectly, it can become unsterile and thus unusable.


Please heed the following instructions.
Non-sterile personnel:

Check the outer packaging for damage. If the packaging is damaged, you must not
use the BIOM® ready.

Check whether the focal length of your microscope lens matches the BIOM® ready
model.

Remove the outer packaging. Take care not to touch the inner packaging as you do
so.

Make sure that the sterile BIOM® ready does not become contaminated and thus
unsterile.
Sterile personnel:

Remove the BIOM® ready from its sterile packaging.
