NON CONTACT TONOMETER Model NT-510 is designed to non-contact tonometry measurement.
The non-contact tonometry function measures the intraocular pressure without contacting the eye.
Tonometry is performed for the early detection of glaucoma, and for preoperative examination and
postoperative care in ophthalmology.
This device is an integral type with a main body mounted on a base.
A chinrest is mounted on the base on the patient’s side.
An LCD panel, control buttons, joystick and a printer are attached on the main body to conduct align-
ment and perform operations.
In addition to the above, the device also offers the following features:
• An auto-tracking mechanism is provided. The device automatically controls the up-and-
down movements for alignment and focusing.
• An auto-shooting function is provided. Measurements take place automatically when the
device is best aligned and in focus.
• An APC function that measures the intraocular pressure with the minimum necessary pres-
sure of puffed air.
• A motorized up-and-down chinrest allows the operator to adjust the height of the chinrest.
A built-in RS-232C and LAN interface allows data export to computers etc.
1
BEFORE USE Indications for Use
1.2 Indications for Use
The NON CONTACT TONOMETER NT-510 is a medical apparatus which performs measurement of
intraocular pressure.
2
BEFORE USE Principles
1.3 Principles
Based on the Imbert-Fick principle (W = Pt × A), the intraocular pressure is calculated by
dividing the amount of air pressure into the area of applanated surface.
The device increases the air pressure puffed onto the cornea in proportion to time. The 1
shape of the cornea changes gradually in the order of convex surface o applanated surface
o concave surface. This change is optically detected and the device calculates the time
required to make the pressed area flat after air is puffed on it. The air pressure used to make
the cornea flat is calculated by time, and finally the intraocular pressure is obtained.
APC (Automatic Puff Control) function
The intraocular pressure measurement is performed with the air pressure as low as possible. When
the measurement range is set to “APC 40” or “APC 60”, in the first measurement, the Auto Com-
plete function, which stops puffing air as soon as the light reflected from the cornea is detected,
activates in order to eliminate excessive puffing.
In subsequent measurements, the APC function activates to perform the measurement with the
minimum air pressure based on the former measurement data.
As the patient's eye is protected from excessive air pressure, discomfort of the patient can be
decreased and continuous measurement can be performed smoothly.

For a watery eye, have the patient blink his or her eyes, or wipe the tears.
The error is cleared when normal measured data is obtained.
Eyelid is over the applanation area. Eyelashes are over the applanation area.
The APL error may occur in a row even though the eye seems to be in normal conditions.
In this case, reset the 01. SET LOW CONF parameter to YES and perform the measurement
again. The measurement value is displayed with a * mark, indicating low confidence data.
For the setting procedures, see "2.7 Parameter Settings (Page 39)".
The measurement may be performed and measured data may be displayed even though a
measurement error (APL or ALM) occurred. Such data with the * is referred to as “low confi-
dence data”.
The low confidence data is cleared together with the error message; it is also possible to
maintain the measured data with the * mark on the screen by setting the corresponding
parameter.

NOTE 1 At 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
(a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and
land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
NT-510 is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the NT-510 should be observed to verify
normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as
reorienting or relocating the NT-510.
(b) Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strength should be less than 3V/m.

7. GLOSSARY
zAPC (Automatic Puff Control)
The function which performs the normal measurement initially, however, in subsequent
measurements, automatically reduces the air pressure in order to measure using more gen-
tle puff of air.
zApplanation
To flatten the cornea by pressing it with air pressure.
zSafety space
The space maintained by the safety stopper so that the tip of the air nozzle does not touch
the cornea. Normally, the safety space is 8 to 10 mm.
zAuto-shooting
This function automatically starts measurements as soon as the device is best aligned and
focuses on the eye.
zAuto-tracking
A function where the device automatically controls the up and down movements for align-
ment.
zAuto Complete function
When measurement is finished, this function activates to stop puffing air to eliminate extra
puffing. This function decreases uncomfortableness and stimuli during measurements.
zComments
7
Up to 24 desired characters and symbols can be entered in two lines.
zMeasurement range
The range in which measurement can be performed. There are four types of measurement
ranges: “APC 40”, “APC 60”, “40”, “60” so that the most accurate measurement can be per-
formed according to the intraocular pressure of the patient and its fluctuation.
Normally, select “APC 40” or “APC 60”.
zLow confidence data
Measured data with a “*” indication. This is displayed on the screen when measurement is
performed in spite of a measurement error (APL or ALM). As the confidence of the mea-
sured data is low, this kind of measured data is called “Low confidence data”.
zPuff
To burst air onto the cornea of the patient’s eye for measurement or to blow out air. The
pressure necessary for applanation is called “air pressure” in this manual.
83
GLOSSARY
zFocusing 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.
zEyelid 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 measurement.
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.
