The Tono-Vera tonometer with ActiView Positioning System, which provides quick and automated IOP measurements in less than a second, is now available in the United States, manufacturer Reichert Technologies announced.
According to a company press release, the patented ActiView Positioning System guides the user to the apex of the cornea and provides a full-color view of the eye to ensure optimal position for IOP measurement. The handheld device provides reliable results in as few as three measurements, taken in less than one second, and uses rebound tonometer technology, which eliminates the need for topical anesthetic.
“As a glaucoma specialist, I can say that Tono-Vera provides IOP readings comparable to Goldmann tonometry and its ease of use with automatic measurements permits even novice users to obtain reliable measurements that clinicians can be confident in,” Charles Niles, MD, principal investigator in the FDA clinical trial for Tono-Vera, said in the release.
“Reichert’s Tono-Vera tonometer was designed to be intuitive, user-friendly and quick, providing reliable IOP measurements for better patient care,” Saloni Vardhan, the company’s manager of rebound tonometry and dry eye product, said in the release. “Tono-Vera’s innovative and patented positioning and alignment system enhances rebound tonometry, enabling clinicians with greater confidence in their IOP readings.”
The device comes in two model options, one with a rechargeable battery and one with an AA battery, and also features a Flexi-Soft forehead rest for patient comfort and Bluetooth connectivity for easy data transfer, the release stated.
