Safety Issues to Consider When Using the AccuPen
The AccuPen is noninvasive. The strain gauge sensor probe tip, covered with a single-use latex disposable, touches the surface of the anesthetized cornea during the scanning process.
Indications for Use
This instrument is used for measuring the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye. It is to be used in a medical setting and only by physicians, optometrists, and technicians who are experienced in IOP measurement techniques.
CAUTION : General indications for use of the AccuPen include on external, structurally intact areas of the eye globe and orbit only.
Battery Disposal
Follow the procedure outlined below for proper disposal of lithium batteries.

  1. Guidelines for the disposal of lithium batteries are continually under review. Waste-management companies can provide assistance in the disposal of these cells and batteries.
  2. Disposal should be done in accordance with applicable regulations, which vary from country to country. In most countries, disposal of used batteries in the trash is forbidden. The disposal can be done through nonprofit organizations mandated by local authorities or organized by professionals.
  3. Cells and batteries should not be incinerated unless suitable procedures are followed and appropriate precautions have been taken by qualified handlers. Exposure of these cells to high temperatures or fire can cause the cells to vent and/or rupture
  4. Used batteries should be shipped with the same regulations as those for new lithium/thionyl chloride batteries.
  5. Keeler recommends that cells and batteries for disposal should be collected, transported, and disposed of in a manner that will prevent short circuits (the terminals taped).
  6. Handling of used cells and batteries should be done according to the safety instructions of fresh cells
  7. Recycling of the cells and batteries should be done in authorized facilities, through a licensed waste carrier. A recycler in the United States is listed below.

Disposal in Europe
The European Community (EC) has issued two directives; 91/157/EEC and 93/86/EEC. These directives are implemented by each member country in a different way. Thus, in each country, the manufacturers, importers, and users are responsible for the proper disposal or recycling.
In accordance with these directives, the AccuPen lithium cells do not contain dangerous substances. The reaction products are inorganic and do not represent environmental hazards once the decomposition or neutralization process has terminated.
Disposal in the United States
Lithium batteries is neither specifically listed nor exempted from the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hazardous waste regulations, as conveyed by the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The only metal of possible concern in the cell is lithium metal which is not listed or characterized as toxic hazardous waste. A significant number of spent cells and batteries that are untreated and not fully discharged are considered as reactive hazardous waste. Thus, hazardous waste of spent cells and batteries can be disposed of after they are first neutralized through an approved secondary treatment prior to disposal (as required by the U.S. Land Ban Restriction of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984).
Disposal of spent batteries should be performed by an authorized, professional disposal company that is familiar with the requirements of the federal, state, and local authorities regarding hazardous materials, transportation, and waste disposal. In any case, it is recommended to contact the local EPA office.
