Alignment and Measurement

(continued)

Slide headrest left or right

The Reichert 7 features a fully automated alignment system that enables the instrument to align itself to the apex of the patient’s left or right eye. This innovative system makes the measurement process quicker and more comfortable for the patient. Perform the following steps to take a measurement of the patient’s eye.

Air Tube

Illuminated

Nosepiece

1. Instruct the patient to locate the air tube inside the red circle on the end of the nosepiece.

2. After they have located the air tube, have the patient find the green target inside the air tube and then slowly lean forward until their forehead is on the soft pad in the middle of the Forehead

Rest. Refer to page 20.

Proper Patient Alignment

(Chin close to unit.)

Improper Patient Alignment

(Chin moved away from unit.)

Note: If the patient cannot see the green target, use the canthus marks on the sides of the instrument to set the vertical alignment of the eye, and then ask the patient to move forward until the center of their forehead is pressed against the Forehead Rest pad.

Note: Verify that the patient is seated comfortably on the patient side of the instrument.

Note: Position the patient in a way that encourages them to lean forward with their chin as close to the instrument as possible. This will reduce the difficulties associated with misalignment and low confidence readings.

16050-101 Rev. K

Instructions for Use

( continued)

Alignment and Measurement

(continued)

3. Once the patient is leaning against the Forehead Rest, touch the Measure icon to begin the measurement process.

Note: Touching the Measure icon (one puff) will initiate a measurement with one puff. Touching the

Triple Measure icon (three puffs) will initiate a measurement with three rapid puffs. Touching the Quadruple Measure icon (four puffs) will initiate a measurement with four rapid puffs.

4. During the positioning process, the Operator Display will change and look similar to the one shown above.

Note: The aligning icon (+) icon will move around on the Operator Display when the patient is within the instrument’s acquisition zone. As the positioning system aligns to the apex of the eye, the (+) icon will move to the center of the screen and align over the center alignment target. Once the positioning system is aligned, the air “puff” or “puffs” are delivered to the eye and the pressure is acquired.

Note: If the instrument has trouble acquiring the patient’s eye during the measurement process

(e.g., it keeps aligning, but never takes a reading), ask the patient to:

• Remain still and try not to move

• Open their eyes wider, or

• Tilt their head towards the window.

Note: If the instrument still experiences difficulty aligning to the patient’s eye, refer to the

Maintenance section of this manual and perform the Position Window Cleaning procedure.

5. After the measurement is completed for the first eye, ask the patient to move their forehead away from the instrument.

6. There are several options available at this point: a. The Forehead Rest may be slid to the opposite side to continue taking measurements on the other eye.

b. All data may be cleared and other measurements taken (touch the CLEAR icon).

c. The data can be printed (touch the PRINT icon).

Note: The instrument will print out the data from both eyes if the PRINT icon is touched after both eyes are measured.

Instructions for Use

( continued)

Low Confidence Readings

During the measurement process, the Reichert 7 may detect a condition that could create a low confidence reading, identified by an asterisk after the reading.

Asterisk readings can result from blinking or interference from a patient’s eyelashes. These measurements are highlighted with an asterisk next to the reading as shown below.

Note: If a reading is followed by an asterisk, that reading will be used in the computation of the average value. A third measurement can be taken by touching the MEASURE icon, which will result in the replacement of the asterisk reading with the new reading. Touching the

TRIPLE MEASURE icon will take three new readings.

16050-101 Rev. K

Instructions for Use

( continued)

Low Confidence Readings

(continued)

Measurements with the Reichert 7 are made within a few milliseconds after the instrument “puffs” the eye. Since this measurement cycle is so short, IOP readings can be acquired at different times within a cardiac pulse period. Therefore, repetitive readings for an eye may fluctuate from 2 to 4 mmHg during this cardiac period.

Occasionally a reading greater than 4 mmHg may be shown (referred to as a “flier”) due to patient movement or other reasons. The Reichert 7 distinguishes these readings by placing the value in brackets, as shown on the screen below.

Note: If a reading is in brackets (a “flier”), it will be used in the computation of the average value and cause the average value to be out of range from the non-bracket readings. A third measurement can be taken by touching the MEASURE icon, which will replace the “flier” reading. Touching the TRIPLE MEASURE icon will take three new readings.

Instructions for Use

( continued)

Too Far Activated

During the measurement process, the Reichert 7 may detect a situation where the patient’s eye is too far from the nosepiece. Should this occur, the instrument will return to the home position, and the screen will change to that shown below.

Should this situation arise, ask the patient to move away from the instrument, reposition the patient, and then proceed with the next measurement.

Cleaning & Maintenance

( continued)

Positioning Windows and Airtube Cleaning

When the Positioning Windows or the Applanation Windows become occluded with contaminants, degradation of the positioning signal occurs. When signal degradation occurs, the system may not recognize or position at the center of the eye. Consequently, the instrument will not find the center of the eye or align off center, which may prevent the unit from taking a measurement or can cause asterisk readings.
