Description

The Veterinary Rebound Tonometer YG1928 is a cutting-edge device designed for accurate and reliable intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement in animals. This tonometer is equipped with two working modes—vertical and horizontal—to provide flexibility and ease of use in various veterinary settings. The device uses the principle of rebound technology, where a probe hits the surface of the cornea at a controlled speed, with the resulting rebound reaction providing precise IOP readings. The YG1928 ensures high accuracy and portability while eliminating the need for anesthesia, making it ideal for use in veterinary practices, animal hospitals, and field settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need to use anesthesia with the Veterinary Rebound Tonometer YG1928?
  No, the YG1928 does not require anesthesia. The rebound tonometer technology allows for a non-invasive and stress-free procedure for both the veterinarian and the animal.
• What is the range of intraocular pressure measurements with the YG1928?
  The YG1928 measures intraocular pressure within the range of 3mmHg to 70mmHg, providing reliable results for various conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension in animals.
• How is the data from the tonometer recorded?
  The YG1928 supports wireless data printing, making it easy to document and analyze test results for follow-up treatments or record-keeping.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages:

1. High Accuracy: The YG1928 provides highly accurate readings with a ±1.5mmHg error margin for pressures between 3mmHg and 25mmHg, ensuring reliable diagnostic results.

2. Non-Invasive and Stress-Free: The rebound tonometer technology eliminates the need for anesthesia, making it easier and less stressful for animals during the measurement process.

3. Portable and Lightweight: The compact size and lightweight design make it easy to handle and transport, whether for in-clinic use or mobile veterinary practices.

Disadvantages:

1. Limited Measurement Range: While the YG1928 is accurate within the 3mmHg to 70mmHg range, it may not be suitable for conditions with extremely high or low intraocular pressure.

2. Manual Operation: Despite its wireless printing capabilities, the device requires manual handling and calibration, which could be time-consuming for large-scale use.

3. Requires Proper Technique: The rebound measurement method requires the correct positioning of the probe on the cornea, which may take some practice for optimal results.

Product Use in the Field

The Veterinary Rebound Tonometer YG1928 is widely used in veterinary hospitals, animal clinics, and mobile veterinary practices to measure intraocular pressure in a variety of animals. It is especially useful for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and monitoring recovery post-surgery. Its portability and non-invasive design make it ideal for use in both field environments and clinical settings, ensuring veterinarians can assess eye health with ease and precision.

Recommendations

To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended to regularly clean the probe and calibrate the device according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Always ensure the animal’s eye is positioned correctly to achieve accurate readings. The wireless data printing feature allows for easy record-keeping, so ensure that your printer is connected properly to avoid any loss of data. Finally, while anesthesia is not necessary, it is important to handle the animal gently to minimize stress during the procedure.
