Verification when measuring axial length OA-2000 measures the distance from the lacrimal fluid on the corneal surface to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as the axial length. Normally, the waveform height and width of the internal limiting membrane and choroid are smaller than those of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Ultrasound conversion formula The axial length measurement displayed in Contact mode or Immersion mode of the OA-2000 is the value calculated by converting the optically obtained axial length to an ultrasound axial length value, using a correction formula developed based on clinical results. Therefore, the...
Verification when measuring anterior chamber depth and crystalline lens thickness Since there are many waveforms of the cortex etc. of the crystalline lens when measuring an eye with cataracts, the front and rear of the crystalline lens may not be captured. In this case, adjust the waveform display line on the scanned image up and down, find and display the position where the largest waveforms are shown, and move the caliper line to the point of the front of the crystalline lens.
Corneal irregular astigmatism index Corneal irregular astigmatism index This is the index that simply quantitates the data of the corneal irregular astigmatism which cannot be found by ordinary keratometer measurements (K1, K2, and AX) according the keratometory image. There are 2 indices (KAI and KRI) as shown below, and each of them shows the level of irregular astigmatism.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING Check the following first when you encounter any problems. If the problem is not solved even after checking the applicable item listed below, contact your local distributor to request inspection and/or repair. Do not remove the cover of the instrument. You may be directly exposed to high voltage sections.

- Nothing appears on the monitor screen. Cause1: The auto power off function, which automatically turns off the screen when the instrument is not operated for the specified time, has been activated. 1) Touch the Monitor screen. Cause2: The maintenance switch on the side is in the P (up) position.
Page 149
Cause3: Setting the output printer 3) Set "Video Monochrome" to select a monochrome printer as the output destination when pressing the PRINT button; set “Video Color” when the output destination is a color printer. Refer to “6.4 b) Selecting and setting printer”...

- A different button to the one touched on the touch panel becomes active. Cause1: The touch panel is not calibrated correctly. 1) Turn on the power, touching the touch panel. When startup of the instrument is completed while your finger is in contact with the touch panel, calibration of the touch panel will complete.
Cause2: There is not enough space available in the internal memory. (The confirmation screen appears when attempting to save the data.). 2) Delete unnecessary data in the internal memory and save the data again. Cause3: An external memory is not connected even though the storage is set to an external memory.
Ultrasound measurement - Measurement cannot be performed in Auto mode. Cause1: The mode is set to Manual. 1) Set to auto measurement (Auto or Auto quick). (Refer to “3.2.1 Setting measurement conditions"). Cause2: Noise is generated in the peripheral area. 2) If there is any source of noise (devices such as a motor, laser surgical equipment, etc.) near the instrument, move it away from the instrument.

Cause2: The retina waveform gate cursor is not set in an appropriate position 2) Set the retina waveform gate cursor on the immediate left of the actual retina waveform. Make sure that there are no unnecessary waveforms between the retina gate cursor and retina waveform. - Monitoring sound does not go off.
