{ Terminology related to the NT measurement
z APC (Automatic Puff Control)
The function which performs the normal measurement for the first time, however, in the sub-
sequent measurements, automatically controls the air pressure in order to measure using a
softer puff of air.
z Applanation
To flatten the cornea by pressing it with air pressure.
z Auto-shooting
This function automatically starts measurements as soon as the device is best aligned and
focuses on the eye.
z Auto-tracking, Auto-focusing
A function where the device automatically controls the up, down, right, and left movements
for alignment and forward and backward movements for focusing.
z Automatic shut-off function
When measurement is finished, this function activates to stop puffing air to eliminate extra
puffing. This function decreases uncomfortableness and stimuli during measurements.
z Comments
Up to 24 desired characters and symbols can be entered in two lines.
z Eyelid detection mode
In this mode, eyes are constantly checked for the condition of opening. NT measurement
takes place only when the eye is opened wide enough.
It is recommended to select this mode for normal measurements.
z Focusing indicator
The indicator which shows the distance between the corneal center of the patient’s eye and
the tip of the air nozzle. For the NT measurement, there are two display types.
z Limit mark
When the main body gets out of the working range of auto-racking, the limit marks (arrows)
are displayed on the screen.
