Reichert Model 30™ Pneumatonometer

The Reichert Model 30™ Pneumatonometer is a clinically established instrument designed to provide fast and accurate intraocular pressure measurements. Its full-color touchscreen uses an intuitive icon-based interface that guides the operator through the measurement process and clearly displays the results.

During measurement, the pneumatic probe is gently placed against the anesthetized cornea. A precisely regulated flow of filtered air applies force to the probe tip. A small, 5 mm diameter fenestrated membrane allows air to pass through its center until it conforms to the shape of the cornea. The instrument records intraocular pressure when the applied force balances the pressure within the anterior chamber.

In addition to standard tonometry, the Model 30 measures ocular pulse amplitude. In pulse-tonometry mode, the ocular pulse waveform can be displayed and recorded together with the IOP result. An optional tonography kit adds the ability to evaluate aqueous outflow through the trabecular meshwork.

Real-time digital charting eliminates the need for paper records. Optional PC software allows measurement data to be transferred to a computer for convenient review and analysis.
