CAUTION
The device requires low levels of room light to operate efficiently. Take care to avoid
accidents when working under low light conditions.
Do NOT touch the air vents.
Only use the fabric cover when the scan head is powered
Remove the fabric cover before operating the scan head.
OCT scans are described using nominal 'mm' dimensions. These dimensions are based
on an external angle scale factor of 3.47 as derived from the wide-angle schematic eye
model published by Navarro et al
Day to day use - patients

The patient should not touch the touch screen. The patient should only be in contact with
the forehead pad, chin pad and face pad.

The scan head will move when the alignment system is being centered. This will happen
automatically when the device is switched
centered between patient sessions. You should ensure that there is space around the
scan head to allow free movement.
