IOLMaster — General Operation.

The IOLMaster may be operated by:

• Icons (by cursor and/or touch-pad)
• Keyboard or
• Menus

IOLMaster Operating System

For safety reasons, the IOLMaster operating system is not accessible the user and works in the background.

IMPORTANT: Attempts to modify the IOLMaster operating system are prohibited. In particular, deactivation of the Windows firewall is not permitted.

Windows operating conventions apply to the user interface of the IOLMaster software. This relates to utilizing a mouse/touch-pad, the use of icons, dialog boxes and menus, confirmation by double-click, etc.

Note: The IOLMaster software does not support all Windows key shortcuts, e.g. the special Windows keys existing on some keyboards are ineffective.

The IOLMaster software uses only a few forced processes. The user may switch freely between the individual modes. For a logical workflow, the user is advised to observe the sequence of measurements described in the IOL Master Instruction Manual V.4.

In rare cases, a Windows error message may appear on the LC display. This could happen, for instance, if the program flow is interrupted (mostly by external interference, such as from mobile phones).

Risks to human beings are reliably precluded by multiple safety mechanisms in the IOLMaster's hardware and software.

IMPORTANT: If warning messages appear frequently, the IOLMaster should be taken out of service. For repair service, call: Carl Zeiss Meditec Service 877-486-7473. The IOLMaster does not support the submission of generated error reports sent to Microsoft.
