10. Measurement procedures
10.3 Taking the reading
1. Holding the joystick, move with the other hand the moving part of
the Pulsair Desktop until the patient’s eye to be measured is visible and
central on the alignment video screen. Height adjustment is obtained by
rotating the joystick. If there is insufficient travel re-check the patients
head height in the chinrest and try again using the joystick
2. Carefully move the tonometer towards the patient until the external eye
image becomes the cross hairs alignment target
3. Using the joystick, focus the cross hair alignment target until the correct
focused position triggers the tonometer to fire automatically.
4. Remain in the firing position until the Pulsair stops reading, after four
readings per eye are taken. The Pulsair Desktop will indicate with a short
beep when sufficient readings may have been taken i.e. when two
successive readings are /- 1mmHg of each other.
5. If a reading is recorded as a non event or bad event, a bad event long tone
will be heard.
6. The first reading will be the measured value; successive readings will display
the running average IOP. Outlying or spurious readings will automatically be
excluded from the calculation.
