    Low Confidence Readings During the measurement process, the Reichert 7 may detect a condition that could create a low confidence reading, which is identified with an asterisk after the reading. Asterisk readings can result from an untimely blink or interference from a patient’s eyelashes.
  • Page 25 Low Confidence Readings (continued) Measurements with the Reichert 7 are made within a few milliseconds after the instrument “puffs” the eye. Since this measurement cycle is so short, IOP readings can be acquired at different times within a cardiac pulse period. Therefore, repetitive readings for an eye may fluctuate from 2 to 4 mmHg during this cardiac period.

  • Page 26: Too Far Activated

    Too Far Activated During the measurement process, the Reichert 7 may detect a situation where the patient’s eye is too far from the nosepiece.

After three attempts, the instrument will back away completely, and the screen will change to that shown below.
