NIDEK CO., LTD., a global leader in the design, manufacture, and distribution of ophthalmic, optometric, and lens edging equipment, is pleased to announce the launch of the NT-1p Non Contact Tono/Pachymeter.
The NT-1p is an innovative device that fully automates reliable non-contact tonometry and pachymetry. Simply by placing the chin on the chinrest, the NT-1p automatically detects the position of the eyes and begins measurement without pressing any buttons. Gentle voice guidance (available in 9 languages) facilitates smooth measurement for any operator. A newly incorporated air-nozzle contact sensor ensures safety while performing fully-automatic measurements. The nozzle design is 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 excellent patient comfort. The flexible layout and space-saving design contribute to improved productivity and efficiency.
A variety of options allow greater flexibility based on usage. Models are available with or without a joystick. The 4-direction button of the newly-designed joystick allows smooth movement of the measuring unit. The addition of a hand-held control and tablet control software allow for remote operation.
“Design innovations of the NT-1p provide high-performance, efficient measurement while also prioritizing patient comfort in various situations.” says Motoki Ozawa, President and CEO of NIDEK CO., LTD. “We will continue to deliver differentiated technologies that improve practice workflow for better operator and patient satisfaction.”
