Verification Mode Pressing and holding the activation button for 5 seconds initiates an electronic self test mode. See Tono-Pen AVIA Tonometer Verification section for details. Sleep Mode A power-saving mode automatically activated after 25 seconds of non-use.
This will ensure that the Transducer Assembly and electronics are performing correctly. Verification Hold the Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer with the Transducer Assembly end pointing down towards the floor. Press and hold the activation button for 5 seconds - a beep will sound at one second intervals.

]. A single press of the Activation button will re-start the verification test. Note: The Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer will remain in the Verification mode until it passes verification test. The most common cause for failure is debris in the tip of the Transducer Assembly.
Instruction for Use (continued) Tono-Pen AVIA Tonometer Tones The Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer generates two different tones. A “BEEP” will sound when: • Power Up Mode fails • Verification Mode fails • Applanation Mode starts • IOP testing is completed • IOP values are out of range (<5 or >55) •...
Instruction for Use (continued) Battery Installation and Replacement The Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer is supplied with a Tono-Pen AVIA POWERCEL Battery that needs to be installed prior to use. The Tono-Pen AVIA POWERCEL Battery is the only replacement battery that can be used with this device.

(i.e. ear, nose, distant object) to minimize eye movement, with eyes fully open. 4. Hold the Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer as you would a pencil and position yourself to allow viewing of the Transducer Assembly and the patient’s cornea where contact will be made. For normal corneas, central corneal contact is recommended.
] will flash on the LCD, a double row of dashes [===] will be displayed, the green LED will turn on, and a “beep” tone will sound, indicating the Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer is ready to measure intraocular pressure. 3. Tap very lightly and briefly on the corneal surface. The device will chirp and the DATA field on the LCD will increment for each valid IOP reading obtained.
Instruction for Use (continued) Interpreting the IOP Measurement During the measurement, the LCD shows the cumulative number of applanations detected. Once 10 applanations are achieved, the LCD will display the IOP in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), along with a statistical confidence indicator. A statistical confidence indicator of 95 means that the standard deviation of the valid measurements is 5% or less of the number shown.
Note: Never use the Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer without an Ocu-Film + tip cover installed. Note: Ocu-Film + tip covers are the only manufacturer approved covers for use with the Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer. Use of any other type of branded tip cover may affect readings or may void your warranty.
Storage • Cover the tip with an Ocu-Film + tip cover for protection. • If the Tono-Pen AVIA tonometer is not to be used until a subsequent day, the instrument and accessories should be placed in the storage case provided.
