The body of the instrument is specially designed to fit comfortably in the user’s hand, facilitating fast and accurate measurements. The stainless steel probe on the TONO-PEN VET contains a solid state strain gauge which converts intraocular pressure (IOP) to an electrical signal. The probe tip must be covered by a protective membrane. Reichert OCU-FILM® Tip Covers are recommended. Utilizing a sophisticated “single chip” microprocessor and electronics housed in the body of the instrument, the waveform produced by each touch to the anesthetized corneal surface is analyzed and stored for a statistical comparison process. Each single valid IOP reading is digitally displayed on the liquid crystal display (LCD). When four valid readings are obtained, the mean IOP and the standard deviation for those readings (an indication of reliability) are shown on the LCD. Intended Use The TONO-PEN VET is intended for measuring IOP as a screening/monitoring tool for Glaucoma or when increased IOP is suspected.
