Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Reichert
®
7CR Auto Ton Corneal Response
Technology
®
.
The Reichert 7CR is an auto-aligning, non-contact tonometer used to measure the intraocular
pressure of the eye by delivering a very soft air puff or puffs to the eye. The patented Bi-directional
applanation process employed in the Reichert 7CR enables the device to quantify the biomechanical
properties of the cornea and minimize the impact of these on the IOP measurement. This new IOP
measurement, referred to as Corneal Compensated IOP (IOPcc) has been shown to be less affected
by corneal properties than other methods of tonometry. Refer to the
Instructions for Use
section for
further details on IOPcc.
This User’s Guide is designed as a training and reference manual for operation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting. We recommend that you read it carefully prior to use and follow the instructions
in the guide to ensure optimum performance of your new instrument. Properly trained eyecare
professionals such as ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians and eye care technicians should
operate this instrument.
