10.3 Taking the reading
Once the Pulsair intelliPuff and the patient are
prepared, you are ready to take a reading.
1.
The Pulsair intelliPuff is set to automatically select the right
eye as the first eye to be measured. If you wish to select the
left eye, press the OD/OS button on the hand unit.
2.
Lift the hand unit, the pump starts and the two green LED’s
illuminate.
3.
From a distance of about 30 cms (12 inches), look
through the eyepiece and locate the patient’s eye.
4.
Slowly move closer to the patient, maintaining
alignment. Support the Pulsair intelliPuff against your
free hand and/or use the ‘pop out’ forehead stabilizer.
5.
Continue to move in slowly towards the patient,
two green dots appear.
6.
Continue to move closer, a red reflex appears.
7.
Move closer. At a distance of approximately 15mm,
a black cross on red or ‘bow tie’ image appears.
Centre this image (on the central bar) and the
Pulsair intelliPuff fires.
8.
Once you have taken a reading, remain in the operating position;
wait a few seconds for the air chamber to refill. When the ‘bow
tie’ image appears Pulsair intelliPuff takes a subsequent reading.
When two successive readings within 1mmHg of each other
are recorded, a sound may be emitted (if sounds are enabled
in the menu settings). If successive readings of within 1mmHg of
each other are not obtained, Keeler recommend taking up to
four readings.
