The NeurOptics® VIP®-300 Pupillometer offers clinicians quantitative infrared
technology to objectively and accurately measure pupil size in an advanced
design. The system acquires images using self contained infrared and visible
illumination sources and a digital camera. It analyzes the captured image data
and displays a summary of the measurement in the LCD window. The NeurOptics
VIP-300 Pupillometer uses a menu driven graphical user interface (GUI), with
a color touchscreen LCD screen for data display. A keypad completes the user
interface and enables manual entry of individual patient identification (ID).

Settings icon and then select Set Date and Set Time
(Ex. 4). Follow the prompts to input the proper date and
time using 24 hour time configuration and select Accept.
Turning On the VIP-300
When not in use, the VIP-300 should be kept in the Charging Station. If the VIP-300
is not in the Charging Station, to conserve battery life the Pupillometer will:
•Go into sleep mode after 5 minutes. Touch the screen to turn on.
•Power down after 30 minutes. Press and hold the Up arrow to turn on (red circle Ex. 5).
Patient ID is reported in the main screen (Ex. 3) and it enables recall of patient data.
To assign a new Patient ID, from the main screen select icon and then select either
Barcode Scanner or Manual ID to indicate the patient ID entry method to be used (Ex. 6).
In case other ID numbers are included in the VIP®-300 database stored in memory,
these will be listed in the same window (e.g. ID=123ABC , Ex. 6) and they can be
immediately re-entered.
Pairing the VIP-300 to the NeurOptics Antimicrobial Barcode Scanner
Connect the NeurOptics Antimicrobial Barcode Scanner and Charging Cradle to the
power supply and plug into a power outlet (Ex. 7). Turn on the Barcode Scanner until
an audible beep is heard and a blue light on the device flashes. Position the
Barcode Scanner next to the VIP-300.
On the VIP-300, select Barcode Scanner. The VIP-300 will

The patient ID will now appear on the VIP-300 touchscreen. Conf irm the patient
information is correct and select Accept (Ex. 10).
The VIP-300 will display the patient ID number and read
“Ready to scan”
(Ex. 11).
Manual Entry of the Patient ID
Press Manual Entry. Using the touchscreen, press the Patient ID.
Select Shift to toggle from alpha to numeric as required. When
the patient ID number has been manually entered, check for
accuracy and press Enter (Ex. 12 & 13).
From the main screen, select the Settings icon and then the top left icon to toggle
between Light Off and Variable modes (Ex. 14).
In the Variable mode, the eye is exposed to a sequence of three consecutive light
backgrounds simulating Scotopic, Low Mesopic and High Mesopic viewing conditions
and the duration of the measurement is approximately 12 seconds. During Scotopic,
the background is off. Low Mesopic (approx. 0.3 lux), simulates lighting conditions
such as moon illumination, driving at night outside of urban areas, or a dimly lit room.
High Mesopic (approx. 3 lux) simulates conditions such as moderate night streetlights
or early twilight. Patient should be dark adapted prior to taking a measurement in variable
mode
The Light Off mode is approximately 2 seconds and there is no light background.
The VIP-300 should not be used without the eye cup positioned correctly (Ex. 15). It is
very important that the eye cup be correctly fitted. A snug fit helps reduce the possibility
of stray light entering the eye while the scans are taking place. The eye cup has a tab in
the rim, which fits into the indentation in the lens shield of the Pupillometer. Position the
tab in the eye cup rim into the indent in the lens shield and press into place. The tabs on
either side of the lens shield should also snap into the holes on either side of the eye cup.

Measure Pupils
Position the VIP-300 with the eye cup at a right angle
to the patient’s axis of vision, minimizing any tilting of
the device (Ex. 16).
Press and hold either the OD or OS button until the eye is centered on the touchscreen
and the display shows a circle around the pupil (Ex. 17). Once the circle appears
(green for OD and yellow for OS), release the button, holding the VIP-300 in place for
approximately 2 seconds for Light Off mode or 12 seconds for Variable mode, making
sure the patient maintains an open eye position.
When the pupil measurement is complete, pupil data are analyzed and then results
finally displayed. If the measurement was affected by a tracking problem (e.g. excessive
blinks) then results are reported as NA.
The results page in Light Off mode (Ex. 18) shows the diameter of the pupil in bold and
(in parenthesis and smaller font) the standard deviation of pupil diameter measured
during the scan. It also includes the ID number of the subject, the date and time of the
measurement and, finally, which eye, (OD or OS) was measured.
From the results page, you may select the Video icon to view the video playback of
the scan. Records can also be deleted using Delete icon or printed using a Bluetooth
printer using the Print icon . Contact NeurOptics® for information about the printer.
The results page in Variable mode (Ex. 19) shows the diameter and the standard
deviation of pupil diameter measured during the scan at the three different light levels.
Browse Records
To browse, retrieve and print data from previous measurements select icon from
the main screen. In the browse records menu (Ex. 20) select All Records to browse
all records in memory, or Specify Patient ID if only one specific patient needs to be
retrieved. All the most recent patient IDs are reported in the browse records catalog
so that it is possible to select directly from the catalog without having to re-enter the
Patient ID using option Specify Patient ID (e.g. ID=123ABC , Ex. 20).
