Description of the product

The Keeler Pulsair intelliPuff is an “air puff” Tonometer designed

to accurately measure Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) without making

contact with the surface of the eye.

Air impulse tonometry is a variant of the general applanation

tonometry in which a portion of the cornea is flexed by

mechanical stimuli in which the force/pressure required to

produce the flexing effect is related to the intraocular pressure.

The air puff technique requires directing a calibrated quantized

packet of air towards the central portion of the cornea, and the

detection of the pre-defined deformation of the cornea through

optical means and reflections from the corneal surface.

Please read and follow these instructions carefully.

Wall mounting

Your Pulsair intelliPuff is supplied with a sturdy wall mounting

bracket.

1.

The bracket has four holes allowing it to be securely fixed to an

appropriate wall or vertical surface.

2. Choose carefully the intended location for your intelliPuff with

particular consideration to health and safety aspects, for

example the routing of the power lead, and it’s position in

regard to the user and the patient.

3. Use the wall mounting bracket as a template and clearly mark

the position of the holes in the wall. Ensure that there are no

live utilities where you are to drill.

4. Drill the appropriate size holes for the screws and rawplugs

supplied.

5. Attach the plate securely to the wall.

6. Carefully locate the mounting pegs of the plate to the key

holes on the back of your Pulsair intelliPuff and allow the

Pulsair be lowered into its final and secure position.
