Line Item Item No. Description Quantity 0001 HANDYREF-K HANDYREF-K, HandyRef-K Portable AutoRefractor/Keratometer 3 0002 IC-HANDYREF-K IC-HANDYREF-K, HandyRef-K Flowsheet 3 0003 MANUAL MANUAL, MANUAL-OPERATOR & SERVICE 2 0004 WARRANTY WARRANTY, 12 MONTH WARRANTY 1 Salient Characteristics Compact body design allowing simple one hand, multi-position operation. Pupil Zone Imaging Method analyzes a wide area (Max. 4 mm diameter) pupil zone, giving measurement data representing the refractive error of the patient s system. Small pupils (Min. 2 mm diameter) can also be measured. Synchro Scan Technology Measurements start when alignment is achieved, and data is captured when alignment becomes optimal. This provides a more stable, effective, and efficient measurement. Super Luminescent Diode (SLD) & Highly Sensitive CCD Super luminescent diode (SLD) light source provides a sharper and better-defined ring image compared to the conventional LED. The highly sensitive CCD camera detects the image even if the fundus reflection is weak due to media opacities. Measurement Modes Auto Shot Mode When the alignment / focusing becomes optimal, obtains measurement data automatically Additional Measurement Mode If the measurement data obtained by auto shot is unstable, additional measurements will automatically be performed by additional measurement (AM) mode. Cataract Measurement Mode If appropriate data cannot be obtained by a standard measurement mode, the cataract measurement mode automatically engages to obtain data more easily. Quick Measurement Mode The quick measurement mode provides faster and simpler measurement. By relaxing the measurement range, children or patients whose eye movements are not stable can still be measured smoothly Full Graphic LCD with 3.5-inch Color Screen New full graphic 3.5-inch color LCD is 40% larger than others. Clear screen design and intuitive icons Focusing Indicator By detecting the distance between the instrument and the patient s eye, the alignment guide mark is displayed on the screen to facilitate smooth measurement. Supine Position Mode When tilting the instrument 60º or more downward, the supine position mode automatically starts. When measuring from the patient s side, the cylinder axis is compensated by 90º, and is displayed. Axis Correction Function An internal sensor detects the inclination of the instrument to display the automatically corrected axis.* Unique Features Pupil Size Measurement Pupil size measurement is performed automatically during AR measurement. The pupil size can also be measured manually Retro illumination Image Observation Retro illumination image enables the observation of any opacity within the optical media. The last captured image can be saved. R / L Auto Detection Patient s right / left eye can be detected automatically, and R or L icon will be displayed on the screen. Keratometry Measurement with Mire Ring Contact Lens Measurement Function Curvature of gas permeable contact lenses can be measured with the provided contact lens holder Technical Specifications The information above is intended to be descriptive, and not restrictive, to indicate the quality of equipment that will be satisfactory.
