INSTRUCTION MANUAL
COMPUTERIZED TONOMETER
CT-80
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the TOPCON Computerized Tonometer CT-80. (To get the best use from the instrument, please carefully read these instructions and keep this Instruction Manual in a convenient location for future reference.) This instrument features the following: • An exact, non-contact intraocular pressure measurement that can be done by air ejection. • An alignment bar that enables easy operation.
This text outlines the Computerized Tonometer CT-80 and describes basic operations, troubleshooting, checking, maintenance and cleaning. To encourage the safe, efficient use of this instrument and prevent danger to the operator and others, we suggest you carefully read the “Displays for Safe Use” and the “Safety Cautions”. Again, please keep this Instruction Manual in a convenient location for future reference.
Precautions •
This machine is a precision instrument; install it in a place set to the following conditions: temperature (10∼60°C), humidity (30∼85%) and atmospheric pressure (70∼106KPa). Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
•
To ensure smooth operation, install the instrument on a level place free of vibrations. Also, do not place any objects on the instrument.
• • •
Before using the instrument, connect all cables correctly.
•
Use the specified source voltage. When not in use, turn the power off and put the measuring window cap and dust cover on. To ensure a correct reading, do not soil the measuring window with finger prints, dust, etc. Also, do not touch the measuring nozzle except when cleaning.

Prevention item
Page
To avoid potential injury, hold the instrument in the proper position.
13
To avoid electrical shock, do not handle the power plug with wet fingers.
14
Never insert your fingers under the measuring head. ∗ Inform the patient of this, too. Careless insertion of fingers may cause injury by pinching.
30
Never insert your fingers under the measuring head. ∗ Inform the patient of this, too. Careless insertion of fingers may cause injury by pinching.
34
Do not use or apply any spray-typed cleaner near the instrument. If a drop of cleaner remains inside the measuring nozzle, the patient’s eye may be injured during measurement.
56
Before carrying the instrument, be sure to affix it firmly by turning the fixing screw at the base. If the instrument is moved with the screw loosened, it may result in damage to the instrument.
13
When moving the instrument, be sure to hold it at the bottom surface with two people. Carrying by one person may cause back injury or injury by falling parts. Also, holding areas other than the bottom surface may cause pinching fingers between parts and injury by falling parts as well as damage to the instrument.
13
Before measuring, set the safety stopper. If the safety stopper is not set, it may cause injury to the eye that comes in contact with the measuring window glass. Set the safety stopper separately for the right and left eyes.
31
When setting the safety stopper, do it from the instrument side (safety stopper knob side). Setting from another position does not easily allow you to check the positions of the measuring window glass and the patient’s eye and may cause injury to the eye that comes in contact with the measuring window glass.
31
To clean the measuring window glass and the window glass inside the measuring nozzle, use ethanol. Using other chemicals may cause damage to the patient's eye during measurement.

Before measuring, set the safety stopper. If the safety stopper is not set, it may cause injury to the eye that comes in contact with the measuring window glass. Set the safety stopper separately for the right and left eyes.
CAUTION
When setting the safety stopper, do it from the instrument side (safety stopper knob side). Setting from another position does not easily allow you to check the positions of the measuring window glass and the patient's eye and may cause injury to the eye that comes in contact with the measuring window glass.
Hold the control lever and pull the machine body towards the operator. Turn the control lever and adjust the height of the measuring nozzle to the center of the patient's cornea. While holding the safety stopper knob in a pressed position, hold the control lever and slowly push out the machine body.

Alignment and Measurement
MEMO
It is recommended that you do intraocular pressure measurements several times. Since the intraocular pressure varies by heart beats and tears, often it is not possible to obtain exact measurement values by measuring only once or twice.
The alignment operation can be performed with the control lever.
Moving the machine body by the control lever

INDIVIDUAL OPERATIONS HOW TO PRINT OUT MEASUREMENT VALUES
MEMO
•
To avoid printer problems due to paper jams, do not feed paper if it is torn or creased.
•
To avoid discoloring, particularly of the recording part, do not store the printer paper in holders made of materials containing plasticizers (ex., vinyl chloride).
•
To avoid coloring in the white part and discoloring in the recording part, do not use bonds containing solvents. Use water bonds.
•
The printer paper is heat sensitive and cannot keep records for long periods of time. Copy the records to other paper for storage.
This machine can print out measurement values with the built-in printer.

Return to the Measurement screen. Press on the control panel. Measurement values of the monitor screen are printed out. Upon printing, the measured values are deleted automatically from the screen.
The ERR display is not printed. Also, printing can not be done when no measurement values exist. When a red line appears in the printer paper, replace it. For details about the replacement of paper, see “HOW TO SET PRINTER PAPER” on page 23. Again, use the 58-mm wide TF50KS-E2C (Japan) paper for the printer. When “PRINTER HEAD IS UP” is displayed, lower the paper retainer lever and press again.

Hold the paper and pull it diagonally to cut.
MEMO
•
To avoid paper jams, cut the paper carefully and evenly.
HOW TO CORRECT MEASUREMENT VALUES MEMO
Never set the select switch for more than eight points to avoid malfunctions.
Though the machine is adjusted for displaying optimal measurement values, the values can be corrected within a -4 ∼ +3mmHg range.
