INTRODUCTION

1.1 Outline of the Device

The NIDEK Auto Ref/Keratometer ARK-30 is an objective refraction measurement device that contains the functions for measuring refractive errors such as spherical power, cylindrical power, and cylinder axis and the functions for measuring corneal shapes such as the corneal curvature radius (corneal refractive power), angle of meridian, and corneal cylindrical power. The measured value of refractive errors are mainly used as the reference of the lens prescription for correction of visual acuity in spectacle and contact lenses. The measured value of the corneal curvature is used for the prescription of visual acuity corrective lenses such as contact lenses. It is also used to observe the corneal curvature radius necessary for setting the refractive power of intraocular lens that will be implanted after cataract surgery and the change process of the postoperative corneal shape after corneal surgery. This device is a hand-held type that allows children who cannot fix their head on the stationary chinrest and lying patients to be measured. As well as the compact station, the device can be easily moved, which makes the measurement possible in a sick room or operating room where the measurement is not possible with the stationary type. The device consists of a measuring unit and a station. The station is provided with a power supply, a charger, and a printer to print the measured results. The measuring unit is provided with a color LCD monitor and a control panel, etc. to perform alignment and operation. To make the measurements easier, an auto-shot function is available, which will start the measurement automatically when the patient’s eye is aligned and focused. The built-in RS-232C interface allows you to output data to a personal computer.

SAFETY

In this manual, a Signal Word is used to designate the degree or level of safety alerting. The definition is as follows:

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

may result in minor or moderate injury or property damage accident.

Even situations indicated by “ CAUTION” may result in serious injury under certain conditions. Safety precautions must be strictly followed at all times.

2.1 Cautions during Use

CAUTION

• Do not modify or touch the inside of the device. This may result in an electric shock or a malfunction.

• Do not dismantle or modify the battery. Heat generation, explosion, or combustion may result.

• Never remove the power cord from the wall outlet by holding on to the cord. This may damage the cord and cause a short circuit or an electric shock. Grasp the plug then pull.

• Do not place heavy objects on the power cord to prevent damage to the power cord, and

a fire or an electric shock.

• Immediately replace the power cord if the internal wires are exposed, the device power

turns on or off when the power cord is moved, or the cord and/or plug becomes extremely hot.

This may result in an electric shock or a fire.

• Do not use the device for other than the intended purpose. NIDEK will not be responsible for accidents or a malfunction caused by carelessness.

• Wipe between the prongs of the main plug with a dry cloth every once in a while. If dust settles between the prongs, the dust will collect moisture, and a short circuit or a fire may occur.

• Before measuring a patient, wipe the forehead rest with a clean cloth. If necessary, wipe the forehead rest with a cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol.

2 - 2

CAUTION

• In the event of a malfunction, do not touch the inside of the device, but disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and contact your authorized distributor.

• There may be cases where a measuring eye (R/L) is not detected correctly, depending on the shape of the patient’s face.

Change the setting by pressing the R/L selection button measuring eye side is not correct.

• When moving the device with your hand, use the hand strap or neck strap (option). To move the device, be sure to hold the grip. Do not hold the hand strap only.

Accidentally dropping the device may cause an injury or a malfunction. For a malfunction caused by dropping the device, the warranty is not valid. You must pay to repair the device.

• Bring the device to the patient’s face after drawing out the forehead rest.

The device may contact the patient’s face.

• Keep the measuring window free of fingerprints and dust to prevent the measurement accuracy from decreasing.

• The date and time may deviate if the battery is removed from the measuring unit for more than 12 hours. In this situation, reset the date and time.

• The measured values of objective refractive power obtained by the ARK-30 are intended to be used as a reference of lens prescription for the correcton of visual acuity with spectacle or contact lenses. Manifest refraction must be used as the basis for the spectacle or contact lens prescription.

2 - 3

CAUTION

• Information on the avoidance of overexposure to potentially hazardous optical radiation (ISO 15004: 1997)

Spectrally weighted photochemical radiances LB and LA give a measure of the potential that exists for a beam of light to cause photochemical hazard to the retina. LB gives the measure for eyes in which the crystalline lens is in place. LA gives this measure either for eyes in which the crystalline lens has been removed (aphakes) and has not been replaced by a UV-blocking lens or for the eyes of very young children. The value stated for this ophthalmic device gives a measure of hazard potential when the device is operated at maximum intensity and maximum aperture. The values of L or LB for the ARK-30 are sufficiently low as shown on the following page. The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and the exposure time. For instance, at a radiance level of 0.5 mW/(cm2•sr), 480 min irradiation of the dilated (8 mm diameter) pupil would cause the retinal exposure dose level to attain the recommended exposure limit. If the value of radiance were reduced to 0.05 mW/(cm2•sr), ten times that time (i.e. 4800 min) would be needed to reach the recommended limit. The recommended exposure dose is based on calculations arising from the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents (1995 - 1996 edition). The following page shows the graph of spectrum output for the ARK-30. Patients will be at low risk of acute optical radiation with the ARK-30. However, it is recommended that the intensity of light directed into the patient’s eye be limited to the minimum level which is necessary for diagnosis. The total of the retinal exposure dose must be carefully watched for infants, aphakes and persons with diseased eyes who are at greater risk when other ophthalmic devices with a high level of radiance are used in conjunction.

• If the measurement fails, the following may be the main causes. Find the cause if the measurement fails again. a. Patient blinked during the measurement. b.Eye lid or eyelash is on or around the target. c. The patient’s pupil is small.

(Let the patient be in a dark room for a while and wait until the pupil diameter

becomes large enough for the measurement.) d.Retinal reflection is extremely low due to an optical disease such as a cataract. e. There is an extreme distortion on cornea.

• Instruct the patient to close his/her eye before starting the next measurement. Let the eye rest to avoid a measurement failure by blinking.

4 - 15

When not measuring the other eye, skip to Step 11 and print the data out.

NOTE

• When the parameter is not set to “AI mode”, you are recommended to take about five

shots of the AR measurement. If the measured results are not stable, take some additional shots.

When the measurement of both eyes is completed, the measured results (median values) will be displayed. (The latest values are displayed when median values have not been obtained.)

4.9 Storing and Printing Measured Results

4.9.1 Storing measured results

The data memory function allows you to store measured results of 30 patients (60 eyes). Median values and individual measured values (maximum ten times for each) can be stored in memory as measured results. To make measurements continuously without printing every measurement, store the measured results. When the next eye is measured, the previous results will be cleared. In this case, record the patient No. to keep the correspondence between the patient and data. Storage of the measured results is possible either before or after printing. The measured results in memory will be maintained even if the battery is fully discharged.

1. Press the memory button after the measurement (“FINISH” on the screen).

The measured results will be stored as well as the date, time, and patient No.

For the R/K mode

The measured results of refractive error measurement data of both eyes and measurement data of the corneal curvature are stored.

For the R mode

The measured results of refractive error measurement data of both eyes are stored.

For the K mode

The measured results of corneal curvature measurement data of both eyes are stored.

NOTE

• In the serial measurement, median values for each side (L, R, U and D) are obtained individually, and the eccentricity data is obtained by calculation on the basis of the median values for the 4 sides and KM measurement (either median or the latest). When Sagit Axis parameter is set to “AXIS”, these values are converted for the angle of the steepest/flattest meridian which has been obtained in KM measurement.

• Concerning the side at which “E” is displayed, the value of the opposite side on the same meridian is used for the calculation of eccentricity.

• If the eccentricity is displayed as “E = Err”, press the angle correction button to repeat measurement.

• If median values of the AR measurement or KM measurement are not obtained when the sagittal measurement has been completed, “---- L AR?KM? ----” appears instead of “---- L FINISH ----”. Press the start button to continue measurement for median values.

PRINTOUT

5.1 Printing Measured Values

1. When all measurements are completed, press the print button while aiming the rear side of the measuring unit (measuring window) at the light-receiver window on the station.

Measured data is printed. The communication distance between the measuring unit and the station should be 1 meter or less. You may aim the measuring unit either at the main body or stage of the station. Printing can be performed in the state that the measuring unit is placed on the stage. If the parameter “PRINT” is set to “AUTO”, printing is performed automatically by aiming the measuring unit at the station without pressing the print button

NOTE

• Do not touch the printer paper during printing. This may cause text to be lost and light printed.

• Measured data can be printed any number of times while the measured results are

stored in memory.

• After printing, the previous data is automatically cleared when the next measurement

is started.

• While the feed button on the station is held down, the printer paper is fed.

NOTE

• Printout sample 1 shows the printout

when the parameter “PRINT” is factoryset. (standard printing)

NOTE

• The contents on the previous page are printed when the parameter “9: PRT FORMAT”

is set to “R→L” and printing is performed in the order of right-eye measured value→ left-eye measured value.

Printing can be performed in the order of AR measured value→ KM measured value by setting the parameter to “R→K”.

• behind the description on the previous page shows that it is possible to select whether

or not to print the content in the parameter setting.

The content of ( ’) is factory-set to be printed.

*1 <Vertex distance>

The distance between the corneal vertex to the posterior surface of the spectacle lens.

*2 <Confidence index>

One of 6 steps (9, 8, 7, 6, 5, or E) is printed. “E” stands for error data.

*3 <AR median value>

Printed when more than three measured values (without error or error data) are in memory.

*4 <SE (Spherical Equivalent) value>

Calculated for the AR median values (or the latest value when the AR median values have not been obtained) and CL conversion values.

*5 <Eye print>

Tells graphically the patient’s refractive status based on the median values. The eyeprint has eight patterns.

5 - 4

• Emmetropia

• Myopia

• Hyperopia

• Astigmatism

• Myopic astigmatism

• Hyperopic astigmatism

• Simple myopic astigmatism

• Simple hyperopic astigmatism

*6 <Trial lens data>

Based on the AR median values, these are the values that were converted automatically from the cylinder values so that the spherical values for the trial lens will become smaller.

*7 <CL conversion value>

In relation to the AR median values, these are the values that were converted into CL values with the vertex distance (VD) as “0” mm.

*8 <KM median value>

Printed when more than three KM measured values (without error data) are in the memory.

*9 <Comment>

Desired letters and symbols can be entered. See “6.3 Entering Comments” for details.
