Overview
The Canon TX-F Full Auto Tonometer is very easy to operate using the auto-feature. Once the eye is located on the alignment screen, just press start! The motorized optical head automatically aligns, acquires the readings, and then automatically moves over to the opposite eye to perform the same function. The unit can also be operated manually to acquire readings. |
The three-dimensional tracking system of the TX-F features a wide range of movement, so that the examinee’s pupil can be detected right away. The trackball and roller combination allow you to perform manual alignment with your fingertips alone. For added flexibility, the TX-F includes auto and manual measurement modes. |

The TX-F helps you diagnose ocular hypertension without delay by displaying a warning message whenever high pressure is detected. You can enter any threshold value on the unit’s settings screen, and this will activate the TX-F’s warning system for that value. When running the TX-F in Full Auto mode, operation will be halted when the threshold is exceeded.

When a reading cannot be made, the TX-F will show you a snapshot of the examinee’s eye, giving you the information you need to make a correction. At a glance, you’ll know whether it was an eyelid, eyelash, or the eye being out of position that caused the error. A short message will tell you what action to take, such as adjusting the chin rest or limiter.

For most patients, the only thing remarkable
--and worrisome--about tonometry is the air puff. The TX-F employs one of the most delicate air puffs of any non-contact tonometer for patient comfort.

|
Alongside the trackball and roller, the TX-F features a control panel that puts keys for all major functions in one area. So whether you’re switching the measurement mode or just want to adjust the chin rest, you can get anything done with maximum ease.
