Page 18: Instructions For Use
Instructions for Use Alignment and Measurement When power is applied to the Reichert 7, it initially performs a system check. After completion of the system check, the title screen will be displayed. The Operator Display then displays a message to move the Forehead Rest fully to the left or right until it locks into position (if it is not already in this position). - Page 19 (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.
- Page 20 Instructions for Use continued) Alignment and Measurement (continued) Proper Patient Alignment Improper Patient Alignment (Chin close to unit.) (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.
- Page 21 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.
- Page 22 Instructions for Use continued) Alignment and Measurement (continued) 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.

Page 23: Demo Puff
Pressing the button under the DEMO icon initiates a sample air puff. This can be used to demonstrate the air puff to the patient. After the DEMO button is pressed and the air puff is delivered, the Reichert 7 conducts a systems check to ensure its optimum performance. -
Page 24: Low Confidence Readings
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. - Page 25 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.

Page 26: Too Far Activated
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. -

Page 28: Cleaning & Maintenance
(1 cc of liquid dish soap to one liter of clean, filtered water (filtered below 5 microns)). Note: If the Forehead Rest pad must be sanitized, a sterile wipe may be used occasionally. Note: Replacement Forehead Rest Pads can be purchased through your local authorized Reichert dealer under P/N 16050-170. -
Page 29: Positioning Windows And Airtube Cleaning
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. -
