Description of the product
The Pulsair Desktop Tonometer is indicated for measuring
intraocular pressure without contacting the eye to aid in the
screening and diagnosis of glaucoma.
It is an “air puff” Tonometer designed to accurately measure Intra
Ocular Pressure (IOP) without making contact with the surface of
the eye.
Air impulse tonometry is a variant of the general applanation
tonometry in which a portion of the cornea is flexed by
mechanical stimuli in which the force/pressure required to
produce the flexing effect is related to the intraocular pressure.
The air puff technique requires directing a calibrated quantized
packet of air towards the central portion of the cornea, and the
detection of the pre-defined deformation of the cornea through
optical means and reflections from the corneal surface.
Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
