MEASUREMENT IN REF/KRT TONO/PACHY CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENT MODE
In this mode the measurement is performed continuously left and right eye in REF/KRT and TONO/
PACHY.
Before shipment the default setting is following order; right eye in REF/KRT, left eye in REF/KRT, left
eye in TONO/PACHY and right eye in TONO/PACHY. When the measurement switches REF/KRT
to TONO/PACHY, it takes about 6-7 seconds for vertical movement of the measuring head.
• Auto mode: Mode for automatic alignment and measurement.
• Manual mode: Mode for manual alignment and measurement using the control panel or
control lever.
CHECKING THE MEASUREMENT MODE
-
REF/KRTTONO/PACHY CONTINUOUS
MEASUREMENT MODE
1 Make sure that R/K or T/P is displayed for the mode display on the control panel.
2 If the display is other than “R/KT/P”, tap the button and change to the “R/KT/P”
mode.
CAUTION
When operating the instrument, use much care so that operator's
finger or hand is not pinched between the reverse side of forehead
rest, a measuring head and an intraocular pressure measurement
window. Or the operator may be injured.
NOTE
• Auto mode may not be possible, in cases where the eyelid and the eye-
lashes cover the pupil.
If this occurs, the operator should tell the patient to open their eyes as
wide as possible, or lift the eyelid to allow for measurement.
• Auto mode may not be possible due to frequent blinks or existing abnor-
malities in the corneal surface caused by corneal disease etc. In this case,
select Manual mode.
• The intraocular pressure varies due to heart beats and tears. So, if it is not
possible to obtain exact measurement values by measuring only once or
twice, it is recommended to perform intraocular pressure measurements
several times.
• When operating the instrument, be careful that the instrument does not
touch the patient's eye or nose. If touched, clean the instrument as speci
-
fied in “CLEANING THE COMPONENTS THAT COME INTO CONTACT
WITH THE PATIENT/OPERATOR” on page 115.
• If the patient is wearing make up on the eyelid or around the eyelid using
glitter, the auto alignment may not function properly.
In this case, select Manual mode.
• If the instrument is moved before the measurement values are displayed,
it might cause an incorrect measurement.
• If area far away from the pupil is tapped, the instrument may touch the
patient's eye, eyelid or nose due to auto alignment.
