Safety Information Guidance and Manufacturer’s Declaration – Recommended Separations Distances between portable and mobile RF Communications equipment and the Humphrey FDT The Humphrey FDT is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated disturbances are controlled. The customer or user of the Humphrey FDT can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum dis- tance between portable and mobile RF Communications Equipment (transmitters)and the Humphrey FDT as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
Introduction (2) Introduction Intended Use Humphrey FDT is an AC-powered device intended to determine the extent of the peripheral visual field of a patient. The device is intended to determine the amount of visual field loss in a patient, which can then be used to diagnose/track the progression of glaucoma and other eye diseases.

Introduction grease, or volatile organic chemicals. Other Operating Environment specifications are given in Chapters 1 and 6, Safety and Specifications. Application related warnings are given in this chapter and elsewhere. User Profile We assume that users are clinicians with professional training or experience in the use of ophthalmic equipment, and in diagnostic interpretation of the tests.
Introduction Job Requirements The user should have training and certification in the analysis and treatment of ophthalmic diseases or other eye-related medical issues as required by governing bodies. About the User Manual The User Manual is designed to help you understand the capabilities and operation of the Humphrey FDT Visual Field Instrument with Frequency Doubling Technology.

Operation voltage CAUTION: VERIFY OPERATING VOLTAGE SELECTION — selector switch is normally set to the appropriate operating voltage before shipment (115 V or 230 V). Before applying power to the FDT, verify that the Voltage Selector Indicator adjacent to the O/I Power Switch displays the appropriate operating voltage (115 V or 230 V) in your region.

Operation Power Switch Fuse Drawer Cover Fuse Carrier/Voltage Selector Make sure that the two fuses are inserted so that they are closest to the protruding metal flanges. Selected Voltage Plug the appropriate approved Power Cord into the Power Cord Inlet on the operator’s right-hand side and plug the opposite end into a standard power outlet.
Page 25
Operation Power Cord Inlet Power Switch To turn the instrument ON, switch the Power Switch (O/I), adjacent to the power connector, to the ON (I) position. The instrument will perform internal self-diagnostic checks and after approximately 15 seconds, two double beeps will sound and the FDT MAIN MENU will appear on the Operator LCD Display.
Operation Preparing for a Patient Test Remove the CALIBRATION CAP from the Patient Eyepiece. Replace the calibration cap on the Patient Eyepiece when the instrument is not in use to minimize the accumulation of dust and debris in the Patient Eyepiece. Select RUN PATIENT TESTS from the FDT MAIN MENU to prepare for a SCREENING C-20 TEST, SCREENING N-30 TEST, THRESHOLD C-20 TEST or a THRESHOLD N-30 TEST.
Operation Enter the Patient’s Age The unit will start with an AGE of 50 years. Select +10 YEARS (TOP BLUE Button) to increase the AGE by 10 year increments (e.g. to 60, 70, and so on). Select -10 YEARS (2nd BLUE Button from the top) to decrease the AGE by 10 year increments.
Operation the test if their lenses or contact lenses are tinted or change contrast based on lighting conditions (photochromatic). Tests may be taken with bifocal or progressive lenses (unless the progressive lenses have more than 3D equivalent sphere distance correction). Explain the Test Procedure to the Patient “A demonstration of the test is running now.

Operation 3-10 Note: The Operator LCD Display will indicate if there is too much ambient light to perform a reliable test. Lower the room lighting or change the test location until suitable test conditions are achieved. Also, if the Patient Response Button is not connected or the Patient Visor is in the wrong eye position, this will be indicated on the Operator LCD Display.
Page 31
Operation 3-11 False Negative and False Positive catch trial presentations are indicated by the symbols (+) & (-) on the operator LCD so they can be distinguished from regular teststimulus presentations. Note: You can PAUSE or RE-START the test by pressing the GREEN Button at any time during the test.
Operation 3-12 Displaying and Printing the Test Results You can both view the results on the Operator LCD Display and print them out from the test results menu. At the end of a test, the results will be automatically printed (default set-up is automatic printing) and then the test results menu will automatically appear on the Operator LCD Display.
Operation 3-13 Understanding the Screening C-20 and N-30 Test Results A plot of the 17 visual field locations tested will be printed (see samples on the following pages) and displayed on the Operator LCD Display for the supra-threshold SCREENING C-20 TEST for each eye tested. There are 19 visual field locations tested with the SCREENING N-30 TEST.
Page 34
Operation 3-14 Because the FDT Screening N-30-1 (or C-20-1) and N-30-5 (or C-20-5) programs utilize different baseline normal contrast levels, they also differ in how they flag (shade) test locations as being outside normal limits. With the N-30-1 (or C-20-1) test, points are initially flagged when they reach the P<1% probability significance level (i.e.
Operation 3-15 Understanding the Threshold C-20 and N-30 Test Results A plot of the 17 or 19 visual field locations tested will be printed (see samples on the following pages) and a combination plot will be displayed on the Operator LCD Display for the THRESHOLD C-20 and N-30 TEST for each eye tested.
Page 36
Operation 3-16 FALSE POSITIVE ERRORS - The ratio of the number of times the patient responded to a “pause” in the testing sequence (i.e., with no target presented) versus the total number of “pauses” in the testing sequence. Six FALSE POSITIVE catch trials will be randomly presented for each eye in the C-20 TEST, eight in the N-30 TEST.

Operation 3-17 When the PSD value is GREATER than that of 95% of normal FDT fields, the percentile probability is given (P < 5%, P < 2%, P < 1%, or P < 0.5%) on the Operator LCD Display and on the printed report. Pattern Deviation plots are displayed and printed with Threshold test results.
Calibration and Set-up (4) Calibration and Set-up Calibration and Set-up The UTILITIES MENU on the FDT MAIN MENU should not be needed unless calibration or a change of the instrument set-up defaults is needed (set-ups are set to defaults and date and time (EST) have been pre-set).
Calibration and Set-up Select NEXT CHOICE (3rd Operator Button from the top) to select the clock setting you want to change. (s) INCREASE (TOP Operator Button) and (t) DECREASE (2nd Operator Button from the top) to change the setting. Select ACCEPT SETTINGS (BOTTOM Operator Button) when the correct CLOCK settings are displayed.
Calibration and Set-up Calibration This instrument does not require scheduled calibration. The instrument calibration is checked each time the instrument is powered ON and at the start of each test to be sure the unit is properly calibrated. If the instrument detects the need for calibration, the Operator LCD Display will display a Needs Calibration warning.
Calibration and Set-up Software Upgrade This instrument is designed with the ability to upgrade the operating software. For detailed software upgrade information, reference the software upgrade instructions available from authorized representatives. The current software version is available in the ABOUT FDT SCREEN and on the bottom of the each RESULTS PRINT-OUT.
