® ® tonometer. The Tono-Pen XL tonometer is a prescription only device intended for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) during routine eye examinations or when increased intraocular pressure is suspected by properly trained eyecare professionals such as ophthalmologists, optometrists, opticians and eye care technicians.
The Tono-Pen XL tonometer has the following features: • Easy to use - IOP can be measured reliably by medical professionals. • Portable - The Tono-Pen XL tonometer weighs just 59.4 g (2.1 oz) and is battery operated. • Accurate - The measurements from the Tono-Pen XL tonometer correlate strongly with Goldmann applanation tonometry and direct measurements of IOP.
Introduction (continued) Parts Identification A. Tip – location of sensor. B. Transducer Assembly - housing for sensor. C. Activation Button - Applanation Mode select button. D. LCD - displays the IOP in mmHg, statistical confidence indicator, and battery life status. E.
The batteries need to be installed prior to using the instrument. The Tono-Pen XL is supplied with four OCU-CEL 3.0 volt lithium manganese dioxide batteries. Note: The Tono-Pen XL unit will not function properly with mercury bat- teries. Note: It is recommended that Reichert OCU-CEL XL Batteries be used when the batteries need replacement.
Setup (continued) Tono-Pen XL Tonometer Preparation Allow the instrument to thermally stabilize to room temperature for approximately 30 minutes prior to use. Remove the storage Ocu-Film + tip cover from the Transducer As- sembly. Visually inspect the Transducer Assembly for cracks, chips or other irregularities.
Setup (continued) Calibration Procedure The Tono-Pen XL unit is internally calibrated, thus the instrument calibration should be checked only before the first use each day or in the event of unanticipated readings. Calibration must be routinely and successfully performed once daily prior to instrument use. Calibration should also be performed whenever it is indicated by the LCD display, when batteries are replaced, or after an unsuccessful calibration.

Note: Do not take measurements with the instrument if two consecutive [Good] calibration checks cannot be obtained. The instrument will not take a measurement when the prior calibration check was [bAd]. Note: If the Tono-Pen XL fails to yield a [Good] calibration, call Reichert Technical Service. 68E3441 Rev. J...
3. Instruct the patient to look straight ahead at the fixation target (i.e. ear, nose, distant object) to minimize eye movement, with eyes fully open. 4. Hold the Tono-Pen XL unit as you would a pencil and position your- self to facilitate viewing of the probe tip and patient’s cornea where contact will be made.
Page 17
10. Once activated, after [====] is displayed and a “beep” tone is heard, gently apply the Tono-Pen XL tip to the cornea in a brief tapping motion, then withdraw. Repeat several times. The corneal surface needs only to be momentarily contacted; indentation or excessive force is not required and may lead to inaccurate readings or patient injury.

To take another measurement, reactivate the Tono-Pen XL unit by pressing and releasing the activation switch as described in step 5. Note: If not reactivated within 25 seconds, the Tono-Pen XL unit will automatically turn off and the LCD will clear, placing the device in sleep mode, to conserve battery life.
• [Good] indicates the calibration check procedure was successful. After two [Good] calibration checks, the Tono-Pen XL unit is ready for use in Figure 7 patient examinations. LCD Showing A Single • [bAd] indicates the calibration check...
Note: Ocu-Film + tip covers are the only manufacturer approved covers for use with the Tono-Pen XL tonometer. Use of any other type of branded tip cover may affect readings or may void your warranty. Note: Always store the Tono-Pen XL tonometer with an Ocu-Film + tip cover installed to protect the tonometer tip from dirt and contaminants.
Tono-Pen XL Body Avoid any shock or excessive vibration which will damage the unit. Clean with a non-abrasive, dry cloth. CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE TONO-PEN XL BODY IN FLUIDS.
