13 Test measurements with the
Pentacam
The Pentacam/Pentacam HR is tested and calibrated in the Oculus factory.
However, OCULUS Optikgeraete GmbH recommends to perform regular test measure-
ments of the Pentacam/Pentacam HR.
A human eye should be measured initially. Minimum 5 consecutive measurements per eye
should be done and the arithmetic mean has to be calculated and recorded.
Once in a month this measurement should be repeated using this eye as described above.
The arithmetic mean of the initial and the current measurement should be compared.
The tolerance range of the original and the current results are described in the table chart
below.
If the difference between the initial and the current measurement is outside the tolerance
range, please inform us or contact your authorized Oculus distributor to get further
support.
