Diaton transpalpebral and transceral tonometer was presented by BiCOM Inc to the members of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology ARVO 2013. Tonometer Diaton Pen allows to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) for Glaucoma through Eyelid and Sclera without contact with the eyeball. No anesthetic drops or contact with cornea is needed to obtain accurate eye pressure results.
Thanks to new technology and innovation, today ophthalmologists and optometrists can measure the pressure within a person’s eyeball, (intraocular pressure), without actually touching the eyeball or injecting a strong puff of air into the eye while it is open. The new instrument used to measure intraocular pressure, without anxiety and discomfort, is called the Diaton Tonometer http://www.TonometerDiaton.com - by BiCOM, Inc. This ophthalmic instrument enables intraocular pressure to be measured through the upper eyelid; therefore, it never touches the eyeball. This not only provides less discomfort, it has hygiene and cleanliness advantages as well.
The Diaton Tonometer pen never comes into direct contact with the eyeball, and therefore, does not directly touch a person’s tears. It is known that tears can contain bacteria and viruses, including the HIV virus that causes AIDs. It is intended that the device be cleaned and sanitized between patients with an alcohol swab. But because it does not directly touch a patient’s eye (non-corneal tonometry) it does not have to be sterilized after each use.
Since DIATON is non-contact and handheld pen-like tonometer, it can be used in any setting – rural areas that desperately need glaucoma screening or Inpatient & Outpatient Clinics such as Hospitals, Emergency Rooms, Nursing & Elderly Homes, General, Family, Internal & Specialty Practitioners office as well as Ophthalmic and Optometric practices.
Diaton tonometer is very cost efficient and is priced very competitively at only $2,750 USD and it is delivered complete (no need to purchase additional accessories, tips, covers, probes..etc.,), Two Year Warranty, Calibration Tester/ Training Plate (no need for daily calibration), Carry Case, Battery and Training DVD in 5 different languages + phone based training support.
