(if sounds are enabled in the menu settings). If successive readings are not within 1mmHg of each other, Keeler recommends taking up to four readings and using the average. 12. Press the OD/OS button to switch from left to right eye, or vice-versa.
0.05 and an R-square value of 98% or 99%, which signifies excellent reproducibility across Repeatability was measured using a single TonoCare device and operator and across devices. a series of approximately 50 individual readings for each of 5 pressure values spaced evenly between the 5 to 50mmHg working range.
Perkins Applanation Tonometer (AT) in order The results of the study show that the IOP measurements taken to assess whether the TonoCare meets the requirements of ISO with the TonoCare NCT when compared to the reference Perkins 8612 (comparable to ANSI Z80.10) in design compliance testing.
