INSTRUCTION MANUAL

SPECULAR MICROSCOPE

SP-3000P
 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON SP-3000P Specular Microscope.

This instrument is used to photograph and evaluate the corneal endothelium.

This instrument has the following features:

• Photography of the corneal endothelium and the measurement of the corneal thick-
ness can be performed at the same time.
• The auto-alignment function ensures quick and easy centering and measurement.
• Simplified cell analysis enables the user to easily understand the rough value of the
cell density.

This manual outlines the SP-3000P Specular Microscope, its operating procedures,
trouble shooting, maintenance and cleaning.
Before using this instrument, carefully read the "DISPLAY FOR SAFE USE" and the
"SAFETY CAUTIONS" to familiarize yourself with the features of the SP-3000P Specu-
lar Microscope and to ensure that you operate it efficiently and safely.

BASIC OPERATION
PREPARATION BEFORE PHOTOGRAPHY

Turning on the power

1 Make sure that the power cord is connected properly.

For details on the connection, refer to "CONNECTING THE POWER CORD" on P.16.
2 Turn on the POWER switch.
After the power is ON, the measuring head moves laterally and longitudinally and then stops at
the initial position.
3 Make sure that the title display appears and then the eye observation display appears.
4 Make sure that the photography window is not dirty.

Positioning the patient

CAUTION To avoid injury, do not let the patient put his/her hand under the chinrest.

Adjust the height of the instrument table so that the patient is in a com-
fortable position. If the patient is not comfortable, it may be impossible to
take a picture of the endothelium.
NOTICE Do not take a picture while the patient is holding his/her breath or is ner-
vous. It may be impossible to take a picture of the endothelium if the
patient is in this condition.

1 Sit the patient down in front of the instrument.

2 Adjust the height of the instrument table or the

chair so that the patient can place his/her chin on
the chinrest in a comfortable manner.

3 Let the patient place his/her chin on the chinrest

and his/her forehead on the forehead rest.

4 There is a vertical positioning mark on the chinrest

support. Press the and switches on the
control panel to adjust the chinrest height so that
the corners of the patient's eyes are positioned
Vertical positioning mark
next to this mark.

The chinrest moves up and down only while pressing the and switches.
If the chinrest does not move even when you are pressing the and switches, the instrument
is malfunctioning. Turn off the POWER switch, remove the power cord and contact your dealer
or TOPCON at the address on the back cover.
The chinrest can be operated manually in an emergency. For manual operation, refer to "OPER-
ATING THE CHINREST MANUALLY IN THE CASE OF A MALFUNCTION" on P.58.

BASIC OPERATION
Alignment and measurement
The alignment operation should be done by using the joystick.

How to move the instrument by the joystick

• The longitudinal or lateral fine movement should be done by inclining the joystick in the appropri-
ate direction.

Joystick operation
(longitudinal or lateral)

Don't put your hand under the measuring head.

* Instruct the patient properly.
CAUTION When the measuring head is lowered, it may injure you by pinching your
hand.

When the POWER switch is turned on, the measuring head moves up
NOTICE and down until it reaches the initial position. Don't turn the joystick until
the measuring head is set in the initial position to avoid an operation miss.

• Turn the joystick clockwise, and the measuring head moves up. Turn the joystick counterclock-
wise, and it moves down.

Joystick operation
(vertical)

• Turn the joystick slowly, and the measuring head moves finely. Turn the joystick rapidly, and it
moves roughly.
• When the measuring head reaches the upper limit of the vertical movement range, "UP LIMIT" is
displayed on the video monitor screen. When it reaches the lower limit, "LOW LIMIT" is displayed.

Wavelength (nm)

Photochemical light source radiance of this instrument

LA (without crystalline lens) : 3894 mW/(cm2·sr)
LB (with crystalline lens) : 3051 mW/(cm2·sr)

Meaning of LA and LB
• The radiance LB/LA means the radiance given to retina. If large radiance exists, it is probable that there is
radiant flux, which will cause a photochemical hazard. LB is the value for the eye with crystalline lens. LA is
the value with the weighted spectrum for the eye without crystalline lens (which is not substituted with the
UV-cut lens) and the baby's eye. The above-mentioned radiance is the value obtained when the oph-
thalmic optical equipment is used with maximum strength and maximum diameter. When LB or LA is
80mW/(cm2·sr) or more, it is probable that a photochemical hazard will be caused for the mydriatic eye.
• Retina irradiation quantity is the product of the radiance and the irradiation time. For example, the recom-
mended irradiation limit is the retina irradiation quantity calculated when an optical equipment irradiates the
eye of its pupil diameter 8mm with radiance of 80mW/(cm2·sr) for 3 minutes. If the radiance is reduced to
40mW/(cm2·sr), 6 minutes are required to reach the recommended irradiation limit. The recommended
irradiation quantity is based on the calculation mentioned in the "Limits of chemical materials and medi-
cines" document (edition of 1995-1996) of ACCIH (the industrial health specialists council of U. S. A.).
1. This instrument performs flash photography with a xenon lamp. Its lighting time is very short, 3
msec. When calculation is done with the recommended irradiation limit (80mW/(cm2·sr) for 3 min-
utes), the irradiation quantity on the eye fundus is 2376mJ/cm2. The irradiation quantity of this
instrument is approx. 2mJ/cm2. This is a very low value compared with the recommended irradiation
limit. So the risk for the photochemical light source radiance is very low in this instrument.
2. In this instrument, an acute optical radiation hazard has not been recognized. It is recommended to
limit the strength of beam, which is emitted into the patient's eye, to the minimum level required for
photography. Risk is increased regarding babies, the persons having the eyes without crystalline
lens or the persons with ocular pathology. If one person, who has taken an inspection, receives the
irradiation from the visible light source through the same instrument or other ophthalmic optical
instrument within 24 hours since the last inspection, risk will be increased.

SYSTEM CLASSIFICATION
• Types of protection against electric shocks:
This instrument is classified as Class I equipment.
Class I equipment does not depend only on basic insulation for protection against electric shocks,
but also provides a means of connection to a protective grounding system so that metal parts that
come into contact do not become conductive while the basic insulation is in failure.
• Grade of protection against electric shocks:
This instrument is classified as Type B equipment.
Type B equipment provides a specified grade of protection to prevent electric shocks, particularly for
reliability against current leaks, measuring current and protective earth current (in case of Class I
equipment).
• Degree of protection against harmful ingress of water: IPx0
The SP-3000P has no protection against ingress of water. (The degree of protection against harmful
ingress of water defined in IEC 60529 is IPx0.)
• Classification according to the method(s) of sterilization or disinfection recommended by the manu-
facturer: not applicable.
The SP-3000P has no part to be sterilized or disinfected.
• Classification according to the degree of safety of application in the presence of a flammable anes-
thetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide: Equipment not suitable for use in the presence
of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air or with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
The SP-3000P should be used in environments where no flammable anesthetics and/or flammable
gases are present.
• Classification according to the mode of operation: Continuous operation.
Continuous operation is the operation under normal load for an unlimited period, without the speci-
fied limits of temperature being exceeded.
