A12R - The Ideal Binocular Autorefractor for Fast and Reliable Diagnosis
The PlusoptiX A12R mobile binocular autorefractor is designed for simple and efficient use in ophthalmology and pediatric practices. Its technology allows the refraction of both eyes to be measured simultaneously in less than a second, even in the youngest or uncooperative patients. Its portable and network-free operating mode makes it an ideal choice for professionals looking for an autonomous and affordable solution.
The use of a Plusoptix remote refractometer allows healthcare professionals to safely measure the refraction of both eyes, with and without glasses, while remaining 1.5 meters away from the patient. This type of device, initially developed for babies and children, works perfectly for adults and is a preferred alternative to limit the risks of contamination.
Designed to be moved between multiple examination rooms, the A12R runs on rechargeable AA batteries, offering great flexibility of use. These batteries can be easily replaced or recharged during use, ensuring continuous autonomy.
Measurements taken with the A12R can be saved on an SD card or printed using the PlusoptiX P12 wireless printer, allowing efficient documentation of results. This device is compatible with electronic medical records (EMR) systems, facilitating data integration and optimizing consultation time.
The Plusoptix binocular refractometers are extremely easy to use and have been developed for children and all difficult-to-examine patients. Of course, they also work perfectly on adults. The A12R autorefractometers are produced in Germany by Plusoptix GmbH.
With delegated use possible, ophthalmic technicians can perform measurements quickly and accurately, reducing waiting time and increasing the efficiency of initial examinations. The A12R provides an essential refraction base to determine the need for further examinations, particularly in cases of myopia, astigmatism or strabismus.
Plusoptix pediatric refractometers measure refraction by eccentric photoretinoscopy (infrared retinoscopy). Unlike conventional retinoscopy, the system uses a low-intensity infrared source, which is completely harmless, to avoid reflections. Depending on the refractive distortions, the reflected light creates a specific light pattern in the pupil that allows the calculation of spherical refraction. Measurements are made on three meridians to determine the cylinder and axis.
Designed to be reliable and durable, the A12R is a high-performance tool that is easy to use and perfectly adapted to the requirements of pediatric and adult consultations.
