HNT-1/1P Introduction 1.1. Intended Use The Non-Contact Tonometer HNT-1 is intended to be used to measure the intraocular pressure of the human eye. HNT-1P is also provided measurement of patient’s central corneal thickness, as well as HNT-1’s function. 1.2. Indication for Use The Non-Contact Tonometer HNT-1/1P is indicated for measuring intraocular pressure to aid in the screening and diagnosis of glaucoma.
Safety Information 2.1. Overview Safety is everyone’s responsibility. The safe use of this equipment is largely dependent upon the installer, user, operator, and maintainer. It is imperative that personnel study and become familiar with this entire manual before attempting to install use, clean, service or adjust this equipment and any associated accessories.

8.4. ACA Mode (Only in HNT-1P) In case of HNT-1P, it has another feature of pachymetry. That’s the ACA(Anterior Chamber Angle) function. The anterior chamber is the fluid-filled space inside the eye between the iris and the cornea’s innermost surface. Glaucoma is main pathologies in this area. In glaucoma, blockage of the canal of schlemm prevents the normal outflow of aqueous humor, resulting in accumulation of fluid, increased intraocular pressure.
