1. Overview

The Canon Full Auto Tonometer TX-F is an instrument for measuring intraocular pressure without making contact with examinee’s eye. Just by displaying the exami nee ’s eye somewhere on the monitor and pr es si ng th e switch, the T X-F then auto matically performs alignm ent and measurement by a t hree dimensional tracking system.

Measurement mode can be selected

The examiner can sel ect a meas urement mode from thre e modes: FULL AUTO, AUTO and MANUAL.

In FULL AUTO mode, measurement of both eyes will be performed automatically. Also, the result can be selected to be pri nted automatically after m easuring both eyes. Thus, full measurement can be done very easily in a short time.

In AUTO mode, alignment and measurement will automatically be performed once each time the condition of examinee’s eye each time. Also, you can measure the eye as many times as required.

START switch is pressed. Thus, you can perform measurement after check ing th e

START

In MANUAL mode, measurement can be performed manually when examinee’s pupil is eccentric, or when measurement is apt to result in error.

Observation range of examinee’s eye on the monitor has been widened and the depth of focus is deep

It is easier to check the position of the eye or whether eyelashes are covering the pupil.

Level meter will be displayed

The TX-F obtains intrao cular press ure fr om the wa veform of the s ign al obtai ned by dete cting light reflected from the cornea when air is blown onto the eye. However, when the reflected l igh t i s obscured by the eyelid or eyelashes, the waveform of the signal becomes low, reducing the reliability of the measurement value. The level of the waveform can be displayed in four steps as a mark (“level meter”) on the measurement mode screen, display mode screen and the printout by the setting in SET mode. Thus, the level meter can be used to check the reliability of the measured values.

When error has occurred, image will be displayed immediately on the monitor

This makes it easier to determine the cause of the measurement error. Also, the eyelid warning line on the warning image will enable you to see if the eyelid or eyelashes were too low during measurement. If the eyelid or eyelashes are below the line, help the examinee open the eye wide by gently holding up the upper eyelid with your fingers.

2. Notes for Using the Instrument

Before Use

(1) Sudden heating of the room in cold ares will cause condensation to form on the pro-

tective glass in t he meas urement wind ow and on optical parts i nside th e instru ment. In this case, wait until condensation disappears before performing measurement.

During Measurement

(1) Before measurement, expla in abo ut t he measurement that is going to be performed to

the examinee so he/she will not be surprised by a sudden air puff. Demonstrate the intensity of the air puff by having the examinee place a finger in front of the nozzle and pressing the

(2) Measurement head au tomatic ally moves af ter t he p ower is turne d ON. Do n ot pre vent

movement of measurement head by holding it or placing something near it.

(3) It is recommended that a har d copy of th e pri ntout be made if you wish t o sto re it for a

long time, because printouts on thermal paper are apt to deteriorate.

After Use

(1) Turn OFF the power, put the cap over the nozzle in order to prevent dust from attach-

ing to it, and place the dust cover over the instrument.

CLEAR (DEMO) switch for more than 2 seconds.

During Cleaning and Disinfection

(1) If the surface of the objective lens on the nozzle is wiped when dust or dirt is on it, it

will be scratched. Also, do not wipe the objective lens with ethyl alcohol or with cleaning paper containi ng sili co ne. Other wise, the surfac e will be corrode d, or will be stained. See section 8.3.2.

(2) Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning the cover of the instrument. Also,

never wipe the cover with ethanol or glutaraldehyde solution. Oth er wise , coating will be corroded. See section 8.3.4.

Environment of Use

(1) After a long time of use, dust in the air will attach not only on the nozzle, but also on

optical parts inside the instrument, which may cause incorrect measurement, Always keep the room clean.

During Installation

(1) Handle the instrument carefully, as preadjustment may be altered if the instrument

receives a strong jolt.

(2) Do not install the instru ment whe re i t wil l be expo sed t o dir ec t sunlight. Otherwise, it

will be hard to see the monitor properly, or you may not be able to obtain a correct measurement.

(3) Blow off the dust in the connectors of the cables with a blower before connecting

them. Otherwise, connection failure may occur.

(4) Do not lay the instrument on its side when the power is turned ON. Otherwise, the

instrument will malfunction.

(5) When the instrument is goi ng to be transported, it must be prot ec ted against vibration

and shocks. Contact Canon representative or distributor for advice on the procedure for packing it.
