SETTING UP THE TONOMETER BEFORE TAKING MEASUREMENTS
Before taking measurements your tonometer, the measurement position must be adjusted correctly by health care professional. Set-up includes:
Choosing a measurement mode
Adjustment of the measurement position
Loading the probe before each measurement
CHOOSING A MEASUREMENT MODE
The device can operate in two modes:
Normal
Normal mode is used to take individual measurements one at a time. The measurement button must be pressed once to initiate each of
the six measurements to obtain final IOP reading. Normal mode is generally used when measurements are taken by someone other than
the patient.
Automatic
Automatic mode is especially useful in self tonometry. In automatic mode a single press of the measurement button initiates the
measurement function and the tonometer takes six measurements automatically to obtain final IOP reading.
NOTE!
Device is designed to perform six subsequent movements of probe to cornea /measurements after which the device calculates the final IOP range.
The final IOP range is displayed on device LED panel.
To change the measurement mode:
1.
Turn on the tonometer.
2.
Insert a straight pin into the mode switch hole on the side of the tonometer.

3.
Push the switch with mode switch key provided with the tonometer on the bottom of the mode switch hole of the tonometer until the
mode change signal is heard. The switch must be pressed for approximately three seconds for the mode to change.
The audible sound indicates the measurement mode:
one beep: normal mode
three beeps: automatic mode
ADJUSTING THE MEASUREMENT POSITION
The tonometer has two adjustable supports, one for the forehead and one for the cheek as shown in figure. These supports are adjusted to ensure
accurate measurement distance and alignment. Adjust the supports using the adjustment wheels, so the distance from the tip of the probe to the
surface of the cornea is 4-8 mm (5/32-5/16 inch) and the probe is horizontal.
