ICare IC200


Abstract

The iCare IC200 Rebound Tonometer is an ophthalmic device designed to accurately and efficiently measure intraocular pressure (IOP), a critical parameter in diagnosing and managing glaucoma.

Measurement Principle:

The iCare IC200 operates on the principle of rebound tonometry, where a small, lightweight probe is propelled towards the cornea and allowed to rebound back. The device measures the deceleration and rebound pattern of the probe to calculate the intraocular pressure accurately. More specifically, a probe is blasted on the center of the cornea at a distance between 3 mm and 7 mm, and the IOP is estimated by measuring the deceleration of the returning probe.

Key Features:

  • Positional Freedom: With 200 degrees of positional freedom, it can measure intraocular pressure (IOP) whether the patient is standing, sitting, elevated or in a supine position

  • No Anesthesia Required: the professional iCare IC200 tonometer is based on a rebound measuring principle that requires no anesthetic drops, air or specialized skills for its use

  • Portable Design: The ic200 is fully portable

Technical Specifications:

Dimensions : 43mm[W] x 104mm[H] x 214mm[L] - Weight : 165 g (without batteries), 260 g (with 4 x AA batteries) - Power supply : 4 x AA non-rechargeable batteries, 1.5V alkaline LR6 - Measurement range : 7 - 50 mmHg - Accuracy : ±1.2 mmHg (≤20 mmHg) and : ±2.2 mmHg (>20 mmHg)

Clinical Applications:

This flagship device is designed for professional use in the clinic as well as in eye surgery and emergency rooms. The device has been evaluated in clinical studies showing agreement between a new rebound tonometer, IC200, and IcarePRO and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT).

Advanced Features:

The IC200 includes Quick Measure feature which enables the iCare IC200 to measure IOP using only two or three rapid individual measurements instead of the traditional six measurements, making the process faster and more efficient.

The device represents a significant advancement in tonometry technology, offering clinicians a versatile, accurate, and patient-friendly method for measuring intraocular pressure across various clinical settings.
