NIDEK has launched the NT-1p Non Contact Tono/Pachymeter
NIDEK CO., LTD., the global player in the design, manufacture, and distribution of ophthalmic, optometric, and lens edging equipment, has announced the launch of the NT-1p Non Contact Tono/Pachymeter. The device fully automates reliable non-contact tonometry and pachymetry. By placing the chin on the chinrest, the NT-1p automatically detects the position of the patient’s eyes and begins measurement without pressing any buttons. Gentle voice guidance – now offered in nine different languages - facilitates smooth measurement for any operator. A newly incorporated air-nozzle contact sensor ensures safety while performing fully-automatic measurements. According to the manufacturer, this nozzle design has been optimized for comfort, reducing the patient’s perception of physical pressure.
The continuous range of tilt and swivel of the screen allows the NT-1p to be placed anywhere in an examination room; installation against a wall or in a corner is now possible. The conventional face-to- face position is available, and is designed to provide high-level patient comfort.
“Design innovations of the NT-1p provide high-performance, efficient measurement while also prioritizing patient comfort in various situations.” said Motoki Ozawa, President and CEO of NIDEK CO., LTD, on the new release. “We will continue to deliver differentiated technologies that improve practice workflow for better operator and patient satisfaction.”
