Can I use the PASCAL tonometer without SensorCaps?

Using the SensorTip of your PASCAL unprotected, without SensorCaps, will cause the tip to deteriorate quickly, and may necessitate expensive replacement. Working with unprotected SensorTips exposes patient to risk of cross-contamination from previous patients. Never use the same SensorCap on more than one patient. Attempting to wipe the SensorCap may damage it and may cause instrument malfunction. It is usually considered safe to use the same SensorCap on both eyes of the same patient. This may help expediting your work with the patient and help avoid interruption in your patient session.
