Cleaning Your Loupes

Your SheerVision loupes are precision instruments, and care must be taken when handling and cleaning the instrument.  All SheerVision loupes have lens coatings on the optics to enhance optical performance, and thus need to be cared for properly.
           warningWARNING DO NOT:

  • Immerse the loupes in water
  • Use any other disinfectant other than those recommended.
  • Sterilize with an autoclave, steam, gamma radiation, or use ultrasonics.
  • Use cotton gauze to clean the optics – as they can scratch the lenses.

THESE ACTIVITIES WILL VOID YOUR LOUPE'S WARRANTY!

To further protect your lenses we recommend the use of the lens cap covers as noted above.

When cleaning the loupes we recommend that a two-step process be used.   The first step is to remove gross debris and disinfect the loupes.  Once disinfected then the loupes lenses can now be cleaned with an optical lens cleaner.

To clean:
1.  First to remove gross debris, spray the loupes with a can of compressed air.
2.  Then disinfect the loupes.

  • Wet a cotton swab with 70% isopropyl alcohol, mild soap, or Lysol I.C. (infection control) disinfectant.
  • Gently wipe the loupes to remove loose particles.
  • Wipe the loupes dry with a micro fiber cleaning cloth.

3.  Finally, clean the lenses.

  • Use an optical lens cleaner formulated to clean coated-lens surfaces, or use the micro fiber cleaning cloth that was included with your loupes.

Finally, if you have any additional questions about cleaning your loupes, feel-free to contact our customer service department

Lens Cap Covers
SheerVision provides lens cap covers for all of its loupes.  These covers are designed to project the lens from scratches or damage.  We recommend that they be used at all times. To install the covers just slide them over each optical barrel.

Flip Paddle
The Flip Paddle included with your device allows you to lift the loupes from your field of vision with a sterilizable tool without contaminating your sterile gloves or instruments. You can cold-sterilize the Flip Paddle before a procedure and snap the instrument into your loupes without touching the loupes. Please note that the Flip Paddle has a top and a bottom side.

To attach your Flip Paddle:

  1. Identify the top and bottom of the paddle.  Please note that the bottom clasp is wider than the top clasp.
  2. Slide the bottom clasp of the paddle beneath the interpupillary knob.  The top clasp should slide over the top of the knob at the same time.
  3. When the clasps snap around the knob, the paddle is secured.
After the Flip Paddle is installed, simply push the paddle up and away from your field of vision.
