Reichert Launches Tono-Vera Tonometer in the US

Reichert Technologies announced the availability of the Tono-Vera Tonometer with ActiView Positioning System in the United States. Tono-Vera is a new handheld tonometer designed to provide quick, automated, and reliable IOP measurements utilizing rebound tonometer technology, which eliminates the need for topical anesthetic.

The Tono-Vera Tonometer features the patented ActiView Positioning System, which guides the user to the apex of the cornea. The positioning system is highlighted by a full-color view of the eye combined with an intuitive and interactive user interface, ensuring an optimum position for IOP measurement, according to Reichert, a business of Ametek Inc. When correct alignment is achieved, Tono-Vera automatically measures, providing results in as few as three measurements taken in under one second. 

Tono-Vera is ergonomic and lightweight, and features a Flexi-Soft Forehead Rest designed for easy distance control and patient comfort. It is also equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, making transferring data easier.

Tono-Vera has two model options to choose from: Rechargeable and AA Battery. Both models go anywhere, are always ready-to-use, and allow for a quick and easy battery change with no tools required. 

“Innovations for Tono-Vera go beyond the device, such as the base that holds the instrument. It also efficiently stores and dispenses single-use Ocu-Dot Tonometer Probes, as well as charges the Tono-Vera Rechargeable Model,” said Reichert DVP of Engineering and Research/Development, Scott Parks.
