Quick Reference Guide
Pre-test Set-up:
Push any button to turn the unit on.
Position the patient so that the test can be conducted level with, and square to, patient’s eyes.
Choose the appropriate mode using the child/adult button (child mode for 6 yr. and under). Hold button until you hear a double
beep and see the desired icon on the LCD.
Explain the test procedure to the patient:
“Now I will check your eyes. You will see a red light in the middle of the blinking green lights.
Position yourself at eye-level and square with the face of the patient.
Test Procedure:
Push the “GO” button on the unit
Check that the patient is fixated correctly throughout the test
.
Position the unit at the correct distance from the patient:
When the unit is too far away, you will hear slow, low-pitched beeps.
• • • • • •
Slowly move closer. At the correct distance (14”), you will hear a steady, low tone. ———
When the unit is too close, you will hear quick, high-pitched beeps.
••••••
The crosshair will flash in synch with the tones.
Look through the peephole and align the crosshair on the pupil of the patient’s right
eye. While the unit is acquiring data, you
will hear a very high-pitched chirping sound over the steady low tone. ° ° ° ° °
If you are not acquiring data (steady tone without acquiring data chirps):
Scan around the pupil in an outward-moving spiral until chirps begin, then hold this location.
Ask the patient if they can see the red light.
When the test of the right eye is complete, you will hear the “tah-dah” sound. (Testing resumes after 1 second, so you do not
need to press any buttons for the left eye test.)
Without changing position, rotate
the unit to the left eye and align the crosshair over the pupil. Repeat test.
At the end of the test, you will hear the “tah-dah” sound again.
If the unit has not gathered enough good readings from either eye, you
will hear 5 tones when the test stops. - - - - - You must re-test that eye.
To stop a test at any time, hold any button until 5 tones sound.
Hints To Insure Good Results & Rapid Test:
Ambient lighting:
Don’t perform by uncovered windows
Dimmed light can help for those with small pupils
Too dim is difficult for those with dark irises
Entry angle - straight and level
Rotate
unit to test left eye
Fixation: “Look at the red light”
Remind and monitor
Match patient age and mode
These are noted on the print out
Correct distance/Not taking readings (steady tone without chirps):
Ensure you are level and square with the patient
Scan the crosshair around the eye in an outward moving spiral until
chirps begin, hold this location
Ask patient if they can see the red light
Aim high if testing through glasses
Make sure the patient’s eyelids are not occluding the pupil
