Page 21: Taking An Iop Measurement
(Continued) Taking an IOP Measurement Operators should hold the PT100 with two hands. Place one hand on the handle and the other between the top-front of the instrument and the patient’s brow. This will help stabilize the instrument and serves as a good starting point for establishing correct distance from the eye.
Page 22 Move Down & Left Applanation Achieved Once the correct alignment has been reached, the PT100 will automati- cally take an IOP measurement. The operator will hear the air puff and see the IOP measurement value briefly displayed in the eyepiece view.
Page 23: Measurement Results
Operators can take more than three measurements per eye, but the PT100 will only display and average the last three readings. Only the measurements visible on the screen are used in the average IOP computation and will appear on the printout. Results can be cleared...
Page 24: Low Confidence Readings
Measurement Mode (Continued) Low Confidence Readings During the measurement process, the PT100 may detect certain condi- tions that result in a low confidence reading. Depending on the situation, low confidence readings will be indicated by an asterisk next to the reading or by brackets around the reading.
Page 25 Continued Bracket readings will only appear on the screen after 3 measurements have been taken on the same eye. The PT100 compares all three measurements, looking for a reading that is more than 4 mmHg higher or lower than the other two.
Page 26: No Applanation
Measurement Mode (Continued) No Applanation During the measurement process, the PT100 may detect certain condi- tions that cause “No Applanation” to be displayed on the screen. No Applanation readings can occur for various reasons including sudden movements, blinks, and corneal disorders.

PT100 at the IR window on the printer and pressing the PRINT button. An hourglass symbol will appear at the top of the PT100 display dur- ing data transmission. Operators should continue to point the PT100 towards the printer until the hourglass disappears (approximately 3 seconds).
Page 28: Helpful Tips For Using The Pt100
In order to become proficient with the PT100, Reichert recommends the following: • Use both hands when operating the PT100. One to hold the instrument and the other to act as a support between the patient’s forehead and the top-front of the instrument. On the grip-hand, operators should extend their index finger along the underside of the unit to provide additional stabilization.
Page 29: Maintenance
• Press the assembly into place, ensuring that the locking clip properly secures the replaceable battery handle. Note: If the PT100 is not used for extended periods of time, the bat- tery should be removed and placed in its location in the carrying case.
Page 30: Fuse Replacement
Maintenance (Continued) Fuse Replacement Fuses are located on the bottom of the charging base near the power cord receptacle. If required, replace with fuses as indicated in the Specifications section of this manual. WARNING: ANY REPAIR OR SERVICE TO THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE PER- FORMED BY EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL OR DEALERS WHO ARE TRAINED BY REICHERT SO THAT CORRECT OPERATION OF THIS INSTRUMENT IS MAIN- TAINED.
