Reichert 7CR -
Auto Tonometer + Corneal Response Technology
The
Glaucoma Tonometer"
The Reichert 7CR from Reichert Technoligies
utilizes a patented bi-directional
applanation process to
characterize the biomechanical properties of
the cornea and reduce their impact on the
IOP measurement.
This measurement, referred to as Corneal
Compensated IOP (IOPcc) is minimally
affected by corneal
visco-elastic properties, thickness, or
surgical procedures such as LASIK or PRK. As
such, IOPcc is a
better indicator of glaucoma than other
methods of tonometry, including Goldmann
Applanation.
The Reichert 7CR is more clinically valid
in all subjects, including:
Normal Tension Glaucoma patients
Primary Open Angle Glaucoma patients
Post-LASIK and refractive surgery patients
Patients with Fuchs or Corneal Edema
Keratoconus patients
Patients with thick, thin, or otherwise
biomechanically atypical corneas
Waveform Score ensures reliability of
results
The Reichert 7CR employs an advanced
signal-scoring feature that helps ensure the
accuracy and
reliability of measurement results. A score
for each measurement is displayed on the
screen.
Scores below a certain threshold are
indicated as unreliable.
Non-Contact measurement methodology
The Reichert 7CR utilizes a collimated
air-jet to deform the cornea and an
electro-optical system to
monitor the applanation process. The result
is a rapid measurement that is comfortable
and
non-intimidating for the patient and simple
for any operator to execute. Best of all,
the measurement
is non-contact so no anesthesia is required
and there is no risk of cross contamination.
Automatic, real-time applanation control
The Reichert 7CR applanation detection
system monitors the change in corneal
curvature in real
time, recording 400 data samples during the
25 millisecond measurement process! This
unique
feature ensures that the appropriate
applanation force is automatically delivered
to each eye being
measured.
User and patient friendly
The all-new touch screen interface features
an easy-to-use icon-based operating system
enabling
even inexperienced users to make
measurements in seconds. The full color
display guides the
operator through the measurement process
showing everything from the alignment of the
eye, to the
display of the readings. Patients simply
lean against the forehead rest while the
fully automated
alignment and measurement takes place.
The speed and simplicity of the Reichert 7CR
are unlike any other tonometer!
