A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER Thank you for purchasing the S5 Mini™. I designed this device to eliminate the frustration that my patients had with inserting their scleral and hybrid lenses and I hope that it will do the same for you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me via phone, text or email if you have any questions or if there is any way that we can be of assistance to you. My contact information is included below as well as on the business card that was provided with your device.
DEVICE MAINTENANCE 1. Please clean the rubber lens holder with an alcohol wipe before every use and allow it to dry completely before placing a lens on it. 2. Immediately after inserting your lenses, take a moment to remove any liquid that may have spilled onto your device. Do not disconnect the light unit from the base until after you have dried the outside of the light unit and the base with a paper towel. This will help prevent water from getting into the electronic components of your device. 3.
i. Connect the female end of the provided USB extension cable to the bottom of the light unit. ii. Connect the male end of the cable to a desktop or laptop computer. b. The light unit will reach a full charge after 1 hour of being plugged in. 6. Adjusting the light brightness: a. If you notice that the light is dim after a full charge, then it’s time to switch the lens holder dock to the “extra bright” lens holder dock that was provided with your device. i. Ensure that your light unit is tuned off. ii.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE BEFORE LENS INSERTION 1. Place the suction base on a smooth, flat surface. Ensure that both the bottom of the suction base and the surface are clean and dry. 2. Hold down the outer edge of the suction base while pulling the base lever upward until it locks into place in the vertical position. This will engage the suction of the base.
Please make sure that the light unit is not connected to the base when suctioning the base to the surface. Leaving the light unit connected to the base during this step, as shown in the picture below, will damage the USB charging port of the light 3. Connect the light unit to the top of the base lever. 4. Connect the rubber lens holder to the top of the light unit. 5. Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and dry them with a lint-free towel. 6.
7. Clean the upper segment of the light unit (the part that twists) with a disinfecting alcohol wipe. a. You can use the same wipe that you previously used to clean the lens holder. 8. Inspect your lens to make sure it is clean and free of damage then place it on the rubber lens holder. a. It’s recommended to rinse your lens with preservative free saline if it was previously stored in a multi-purpose cleaning solution. 9.
a. Tip: Placing your finger as close as possible to your eyelashes (without touching your eyelashes) will give you the best grip on your eyelids. 3. Keep both eyes open and slowly move your head down toward the lens until your eye makes contact with the lens. a. Tip: Focus on the light as you move closer to the lens. The light will look perfectly round if you are lined up with the center of the lens. If the light does not look round, you will need to adjust the position of your head until it does.
b. It is normal for saline to spill out of the lens bowl when your eye makes contact with the lens. 4. Once you feel that the lens has made contact with your eye, move your head back up and away from the device and slowly release your eyelids. 5. Twist the top half of the light unit clockwise to turn off the light. 6. For your second eye: a.
