CAUTION: IT IS PRUDENT TO MINIMIZE THE PATIENT’S EXPOSURE TO ULTRASOUND

ENERGY TO A LEVEL AS LOW AS REASONABLY ACHIEVABLE (ALARA) BY REDUCING THE
NUMBER OF SCANS NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED. ADVISE THE PATIENT OF WHAT TO
EXPECT DURING A SCAN TO REDUCE REPETITIVE SCANS. THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE
OF ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE (AIUM) HAS A PUBLICATION “MEDICAL ULTRASOUND
SAFETY” (1994) WHICH HAS MORE INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC.

Operational Check

Measure the patient according to the following procedure and precautions.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE IPAC PACHYMETER IF THE MEASUREMENT TIP IS
CRACKED, CHIPPED OR SHOWS ANY IRREGULARITY OF THE SURFACE, TO PREVENT
PATIENT INJURY, AND/OR INACCURATE READINGS.

1. Before using, visually inspect the Pachymeter’s sensor for cracks, chips or other
irregularities. Do not use the pachymeter if the tip is cracked, chipped, or shows
any kind of irregularity of its surface.

2. Press and release the control button (

) to activate the iPac.

Note: The instrument will automatically enter the power OFF sequence after inactiv-

ity of approximately one minute.

3. Check the battery icon to ensure that the battery is fully charged. If the iPac
needs charging, plug in the charger until the icon indicates that it is fully charged,
or place it in the iPac Charging Cradle.

CAUTION: ALWAYS ENSURE THE IPAC IS CHARGED SUFFICIENTLY OR ERRATIC
READINGS MAY OCCUR.

Patient Preparation

1. Advise the patient of the measuring process and what to expect before taking
measurements.

2. Have the patient sit comfortably and install a drop of topical anesthetic into the
eye to be examined.

CAUTION: DO NOT PUT ANESTHETIC DROPS ON THE MEASUREMENT TIP. THIS MAY RE­SULT IN INACCURATE READINGS. TIP SHOULD BE DRY BEFORE TAKING MEASUREMENTS.

3. Give the patient the appropriate time for the anesthetic to start working.

Measurement Process

4. Instruct the patient to look straight ahead at a

xation target (e.g., ear, nose, distant object) to

minimize eye movement, with eyes fully open to
prepare for a measurement.

5. Hold the iPac Pachymeter as you would a pencil
and to enable viewing of the sensor and the
patient’s cornea where contact will be made. For
normal corneas, central corneal contact is highly
recommended.

Note: The corneal surface needs only to be contacted

for a short time. Indentation or additional pressure
is not required and may lead to injury to the eye.

Note: Do not ‘tap’ the iPac on the cornea. Hold it

steadily against the cornea.

6. Support the iPac with your hand, and if necessary,
stabilize the movement of the iPac by resting your
hand against the patient.

7. Press and release the Control button, one time (

). The iPac will initiate the measurement
process and beep once. After the beep, three
asterisks are displayed.

8. Minimizing the time the Pachymeter is touching
the eye, lightly touch the center of the cornea until
the iPac completes a series of beeps followed by
a single beep.

9. After the series of beeps and the nal beep,
remove the iPac from the eye. The iPac will
display the average reading.

pr.3 - derated peak rarefactional pressure (megapascals) associated with the transmit pattern
giving rise to the value reported under MI.
Wo - ultrasonic power (milliwatts). For the operating condition giving rise to ISPTA.3, Wo is
the total time-average power. For the operating condition giving rise to ISPPA.3, Wo is the
ultrasonic power associated with the transmit pattern giving rise to the ISPPA.3 value.
fc - center frequency (MHz). For MI and ISPPA.3, fc is the center frequency associated with
the transmit pattern giving rise to the global maximum value of the respective parameter.
zsp - axial distance at which the reported parameter is measured (centimeters).
x-6, y-6 - are respectively the in-plane (azimuthal) and out-of-plane (elevational) -6 dB dimen­sions in the x-y plane where zsp is found (centimeters).

EBD - entrance beam dimensions for the azimuthal and elevational planes (centimeters).

Tissue Exposure To Ultrasound Energy

The ultrasound energy emitted by the iPac is of low intensity and will have no adverse effects
on the patient and/or user. However, the user is still cautioned to perform examinations using
the principle of ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable). All examinations should be done
so that the patient receives as little ultrasound radiation as possible. Do not hold the mea­surement tip against the eye or other tissue with the system activated except when making a
measurement. Do not make unnecessary measurements.

Ultrasonic Intensities

The iPac has only one mode, and ultrasonic intensity settings are not under the control of the
user. Thus, the values below are the values to be expected for a typical transducer.
In Water In the Eye
I SPTA, mw/cm2 5.14 5.13
I SPPA, W/cm2 10.23 10.22
MI(unitless) 0.171 0.170

Since the iPac is a contact instrument, the energy will always be attenuated by the tissue when
used as recommended. However, since the focal length (point of maximum intensity) is very
short (1 mm), and thus penetration into the eye is limited, the water values are effectively the
same as the tissue values, for all practical purposes. If more accuracy is desired, the intensity
in the eye at the transducer focus (corresponding to maximum intensity) may be calculated
according to the formula recommended by the FDA:

It=Iw x e(-0.069 x f x z)

where It is the estimated in situ intensity, Iw is the measured intensity in water at the focus of
the transducer, f is the ultrasonic frequency, and z is the distance from the face of the measure­ment tip to the transducer focus, which is the point of measurement (1mm). The nominal fre­quency of these transducers is 20 MHz. The actual frequency of a particular transducer may
vary from this value. The tissue calculations above were done with the measured frequency
of the transducer used for the tests.
