How to Take a Measurement
1. Touch and hold the Up and Down control
buttons on the AccuPen simultaneously for
2 to 3 seconds to reset all measurements,
averages, and IOP information to zero.
2. Press and release the Action Control button.
Two high-pitched chirps (beeps) and a
rotating line to the left of the average in the
display indicate that the AccuPen is ready to
take a reading.
3. Gently tap the sensor tip on the patient’s eye.
4. The AccuPen will automatically proceed to the next empty measurement if
it is available.
5. The AccuPen will emit a high-pitched chirp (beep) when you have
automatically acquired a measurement.
6. The AccuPen will emit three high-pitched chirps (beeps) when the ninth
measurement has been taken, or if the measurement time expires.
Notes
1. The AccuPen can take up to nine measurements and provide the average
of those measurements. This average is the number used when calculating
the Adjusted Intraocular Pressure (AIOP).
2. The * symbol by a measurement indicates the reading that is furthest away
from the average.
3. You can review the measurements taken by pressing the Up and Down
control buttons.
4. You can delete any measurement taken by touching and holding either the
Up or Down control button for several seconds (until the unit emits a high-
pitched chirp). After deleting a measurement, the unit will automatically
recalculate the average of the measurements.
How to Calculate Adjusted IOP
After you have completed a Patient’s measurements, you can calculate the
Adjusted IOP for the Patient. You can perform the calculation from the MCCT
(Manual Central Corneal Thickness) Screen.
To calculate Adjusted IOP:
1. From the Measurement screen, select the
MCCT screen by pressing and holding the
Action Control button for 2 to 3 seconds.
530μm will appear as default.
2. Enter the measured CCT by pressing the Up
and Down control buttons until the proper
measured CCT is displayed. If you make a
mistake, just reselect the correct value.
3. The Adjusted IOP based on the average of the measurements taken is
displayed below the measured IOP.
4. Return to the Measurement screen by pressing and holding the Action
Control button until the Measurement screen appears.
