Description
The Reichert Tono‑Pen AVIA® builds on the established performance of the classic Tono‑Pen XL to provide fast and versatile intraocular pressure measurement in a lightweight handheld instrument.
Its Quick‑Tap® measurement mode uses an enhanced averaging technique to provide greater measurement confidence in as few as two taps. Operators can select between traditional First Generation Mode, which typically obtains a result in five taps, and Quick‑Tap Second Generation Mode. This faster mode can be particularly useful when examining children or less cooperative patients.
Tono‑Pen AVIA uses Micro Strain Gauge technology to deliver fast and repeatable measurements with minimal operator dependence. The instrument can be operated in virtually any position, making it suitable for seated, wheelchair-bound or bedridden patients.
A one-button interface, dual-sided LCD screens, statistical confidence indicator and ergonomic soft-touch grips support efficient operation by clinicians and trained technicians. Routine calibration is not required, and the replaceable Powercel® battery provides power for thousands of measurements.
The starter kit includes 150 individually wrapped Reichert Ocu‑Film® + Tip Covers to help reduce the risk of cross-contamination and protect the instrument’s transducer.
