MEASUREMENT

ONE SHORT BEEP

Indicates a correct single measurement. 

DOUBLE BEEP

Indicates an incorrect measurement. 

(See error codes from the instruction  

manual).

LONG BEEP

Indicates that six successful measure-

ments are done and IOP result is available 

on the display.

1.

  

Ask the patient to relax and look 

straight ahead at a specific point  

to keep the eye steady during  

the measurement.

2.

  

Bring the tonometer near the patient’s 

eye. Check that the central groove is in 

a horizontal position. It’s not necessary 

to look at the display during the mea-

surement since the device gives sound 

signals about errors etc.

3.

  

Keep the distance from the tip of the 

probe to the patient’s cornea at 4 to 8 

millimeters (5/32 - 5/16 inch). If neces-

sary, adjust the forehead support.

4.

  

Press the measuring button lightly.  

The tip of the probe should make  

contact with the central cornea.

5.

  

Six measurements are made. Once the 

six correct measurements are done, 

the IOP will be shown on the display.

6.

  

Please refer to the manual for  

additional information.

Press either selector button until the display 

shows ‘End‘. Press the measuring button for 

two seconds - the display will show ‘byE’, the 

tonometer will switch off and the probe slides 

out of the probe base.

utes, it will automatically switch off.
