Kowa KT-500 Tonometry Air Puff: Precision Eye Pressure Measurement for Glaucoma Management
The Kowa KT-500 air tonometer is a sophisticated medical instrument designed to accurately measure intraocular pressure. It utilizes air tonometry technology, a widely recognized non-invasive method for measuring eye pressure. With the KT-500, eye care professionals can obtain crucial information about their patients' eye health.
This device is particularly valuable in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma, an eye condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve due to elevated intraocular pressure. The KT-500 allows healthcare professionals to closely monitor changes in eye pressure over time, aiding in the treatment and prevention of glaucoma-related complications.
The KT-500 features advanced functionalities ensuring precise and consistent measurements. It is equipped with an automatic detection system that accurately identifies the moment when air touches the cornea, ensuring reliable results. Additionally, the device has a clear and intuitive display screen, making it easy to read pressure values.
This tonometer is user-friendly and an indispensable tool in ophthalmic clinics. It has an ergonomic design that allows for comfortable and safe handling during examinations. The KT-500 is also lightweight and portable, making it suitable for use in various clinical environments.
The Kowa KT-500 has a measurement range of 0 to 60 mm Hg, offering a wide spectrum for evaluating intraocular pressure. This measurement range is non-switchable, ensuring consistency in readings and providing comprehensive coverage for various eye conditions.
Each measurement unit of the KT-500 is 1 mm Hg, allowing for high precision in intraocular pressure readings. This precision is crucial for the diagnosis and monitoring of eye conditions such as glaucoma, where small variations in pressure can be significant.
The measurement time of the KT-500 is extremely fast, occurring within 100 milliseconds. This speed reduces discomfort for the patient and increases examination efficiency, allowing healthcare professionals to perform quick and accurate measurements without compromising data quality.
The operational distance of the KT-500 is 11 mm, ensuring that the instrument maintains an ideal proximity to the eye during measurement. This distance is carefully calibrated to provide accurate results while minimizing discomfort and the risk of error during the procedure.
The KT-500 has an eye observation range of 16 mm x 10 mm, allowing for a clear and comprehensive view of the eye during measurement. This observation range enhances the healthcare professional's ability to assess eye condition and adjust the position of the tonometer as needed.
To further facilitate visualization, the KT-500 is equipped with a 5-inch black-and-white television monitor. This monitor provides a clear and detailed display of measurements, assisting healthcare professionals in interpreting results efficiently and accurately during the examination.
