DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The S5 MiniTM was designed to make struggling with scleral and hybrid lens insertion a thing of the past. By holding your lens in place, your device allows you to have two hands available to hold your eyelids open. This will allow you to counter the human blink reflex which is often triggered when the lens is on or near the eye. The LED light will help you accurately align your eye with the center of your lens during insertion. This will help reduce accidental spilling of the saline solution due to misalignment between your eye and the lens. As a result, you will be able to insert your lenses in fewer attempts, with fewer air bubbles and less frustration.

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. The lens holder should be replaced at least once every 3 months.
2. Immediately after inserting your lenses, take a moment to remove any liquid that may have spilled onto your device. This will help prevent water from getting into the electronic components of your device.
3. Please make sure that the storage case for your device is completely dry before storing the device in it. If you store containers that hold liquids (ex. contact lens cases) in your case, please ensure that they are securely closed to prevent liquid damage to your device.
a. We recommend cleaning the outside of your device as well as the inside of your storage case at least once per week with alcohol wipes. After cleaning, make sure that all parts are completely dry before storing them.
4. The bottom of the suction base should be cleaned periodically with an alcohol wipe to ensure maximum suction.
5. Charging the light unit:
a. When you notice the light becoming dim, it’s time to charge the light unit. i. Disconnect the light unit from the base lever by twisting the bottom half of the light unit (shown in green) counterclockwise.

ii. Locate the USB port on the bottom of the light unit.
iii. Connect the female end of the provided USB charging cable to the bottom of the light unit.
iv. 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR LENS INSERTION

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 light unit upward until the device locks into place in the vertical position. This will engage the suction of the base.

3. Connect the rubber lens holder to the top of the light unit.

Step 2

Step 3

4. Wash your hands with a scent-free, moisturizer-free soap for 20 seconds and dry them with a lint-free towel.

5. Clean the rubber lens holder with a disinfecting alcohol wipe.
a. Allow the lens holder to dry completely before placing your contact lens on it.
6. 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.

7. Inspect your lens to make sure it is clean and free of damage then place it on the rubber lens holder.
a. It is recommended to rinse your lens with preservative free saline if it was previously stored in a multi-purpose cleaning solution.
b. If your lens has a black dot that is used for positioning your lens, please make sure that the dot is placed at the position recommended by your doctor (example: place the black dot at the 6 o’clock position).

8. Fill the lens bowl with a preservative-free saline solution that is approved by your doctor.
a. Add saline until the level rises above the edge of the lens.

9. Twist the top half of the light unit counterclockwise to activate the light.
LENS INSERTION
1. Place your head directly over the lens, making sure that your head is level with the surface that your device was placed on. Your chin should be tucked in toward your chest.
2. Use both hands to firmly hold your upper and lower eyelids open. a. Tip #1: Place your fingers as close as possible to your eyelashes (without touching your eyelashes) to get the best grip on your eyelids.
b. Tip #2: Pull your upper lid upward and pin it against your brow bone by pressing your finger in towards your face. Pull your lower lid down and pin it against your cheek bone by pressing your finger in towards your face. See the picture below for an example of what this should look like.
Press lower eyelid against cheek bone.
Press upper eyelid against brow bone.

3. Keep both eyes open and slowly move your head down toward the lens until your eye makes contact with the lens.
a. Tip #1: 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 becomes round.

b. Tip #2: The first thing you will feel is your eye touching the saline solution. Do not slow down when you feel the saline. Keep going at the same pace until you feel the pressure of the lens being pressed against your eye. It is normal for saline to spill out of the lens bowl during this process.

4. Once you feel the pressure of the lens being pressed onto your eye, move your head up and away from the device and slowly release your eyelids.

5. Twist the top half of the light unit clockwise to turn the light off.

6. For your second eye:
a. Repeat steps 7 through 9 in the “Before Lens Insertion” section to prepare your second lens for insertion.
b. Repeat steps 1 through 5 in the “Lens Insertion” section to insert your second lens.
7. After inserting your lenses, please take a moment to check for air bubbles.
a. Cover one eye at a time to see if you can notice any air bubbles in your line of sight.
b. You can also use a mirror to inspect the lens on your eye and check for air bubbles. Shining a flashlight on your face will help provide better lighting.
c. If air bubbles are present, you must remove the lens and re-insert it.

AFTER LENS INSERTION
Please carefully follow the instructions below to keep liquid away from the electronics of your device. Following these instructions will extend the operational life of your device.
1. Remove the rubber lens holder from the light unit.
2. Dry off the outside of the light unit and base with a paper towel.
3. Detach the S5 MiniTM from the mounting surface by following these steps: a. Push the light unit back to the horizontal position to break the suction of the base.
i. If the suction does not release right away, it may be necessary to use a fingernail or a plastic card to separate the edge of the base from the surface that it is suctioned to.
b. Use a paper towel to dry off any remaining moisture on the base.
4. Turn the device upside down to drain any liquid inside the orange lens holder dock. Use a paper towel or a q-tip to soak up any liquid remaining in the lens holder dock after draining.

5. Please ensure that the storage case used to store your device is completely dry before using it to store your device. This is important for reducing the growth of microbes in the storage case as well as reducing the chance of liquid damage to the electronics of your device.
a. It is recommended that you use alcohol or another disinfecting solution to clean the inside of your storage case at least once per week. After cleaning, make sure that the case dries completely before using it to store your device and lens accessories.
