Tonometer Tip Cleaning Station

The top unscrews so that cleaning/disinfection solution may be added to the base. The three inside cleaning ports hold the used tonometer tips in the
cleaning solution. Once cleaned and disinfected, the tips are moved to one of the three outside drying ports.

The prism head of Goldmann-type tonometers should be cleaned immediately after use. The prism
should either be soaked in a 1:10 sodium hypochlorite solution (household bleach), 3% hydrogen peroxide, or 70% isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes. If a soaking solution is used, the prism should be rinsed and dried before reuse. If isopropyl alcohol is employed, it should be allowed to evaporate, or the prism head should be dried before reuse.

Although the use of alcohol is a recognized and well-established method of disinfection, its use may
cause tension cracks in the tonometer tips.
