Features
The PachPen is designed for easy access to all screens and functions. The
unsurpassed ease of use of the control buttons and the straightforward graphical
user interface guide you through every operation.
What you can’t see on the surface is also important. Industry-leading signal
acquisition and processing helps ensure accurate measurements. Reliable design
and efficient manufacturing provide fiscal value. Upgradable software protects your
investment. The PachPen lets you accomplish even the complex simply.
The PachPen provides the following general features:
• Multi-segment high-resolution LCD screen with control buttons to provide
an intuitive user interface
• Long-lasting lithium battery power source

make the unit very portable
• Ergonomic design that fits comfortably into the hand for fast and accurate
measurements
• Allows entry of Intraocular Pressure (IOP) and provides Corrected IOP based
on corneal thickness measurements
• The body of the PachPen is angled from the probe tip, and both the body
and the tip have sighting lines that allow easy visualization of the cornea,
facilitating both centration and perpendicularity
• User controlled speed of sound
• Display of measured corneal thickness, entered IOP, Corrected IOP, and
average for all stored measurements
• Automatically or manually capture and store up to nine measurements,
along with the running average of all measurements taken
