Canon TX-F Non-Contact Tonometer
Think of the TX-F as a "one-touch wonder." Because that's exactly what it is, thanks to Canon's innovative Full Auto technology—once your patient's eye is in the monitor, you simply press the Start button and the exam is over in seconds. The TX-F performs alignment, focusing and measurement for one eye, and then moves to the other eye in one continuous series of operations. All you have to do is wait for the printout. The entire process is remarkably quick, and the unit's three dimensional tracking system ensures that your readings are extremely reliable. With the addition of the TX-F to our lineup of Full Auto ophthalmic instruments, Canon now offers the premier non-contact tonometer for raising eye exam efficiency.

The tracking system of the TX-F features an exceptionally wide range of movement, so that the examinee's pupil can be detected right away. And the unit's trackball and roller combination allows you to perform manual alignment with your fingertips alone.

Although Full Auto operation gives you unprecedented ease, it might not always be appropriate. That's why the TX-F also includes Auto and Manual measurement modes for added flexibility. Switching between modes requires only a key press.

Features
Selectable measuring modes
Choose from either Full Auto, Auto, or Manual to match the situation. In Full Auto mode, you can set the TX-F to take 1 or 3 measurements for each eye, and it will perform alignment and measurement on both eyes after you press the Start button. Printout or data transfer can be automatic. In Auto mode, alignment and measurement are automatic, with only one measurement taken at a time. And in Manual mode, you have full control over alignment and focusing using the trackball and roller. Guides are marked on the central alignment ring to make it as easy as possible to align the two bright dots reflecting on the patient's cornea.
 
IOP warning display
The TX-F helps you diagnose ocular hypertension without delay by displaying a warning message whenever high pressure is detected. You can enter any threshold value on the unit's settings screen, and this will activate the TX-F's warning system for that value. When running the TX-F in Full Auto mode, operation will also be halted when the threshold is exceeded.
 
Visual confirmation of errors
Normally, if a measurement error occurs, you can’t be completely sure of its cause. Not so with the TX-F. When a reading can't be made, the TX-F will show you a snapshot of the examinee's eye, giving you the information you need to correct things. At a glance, you'll know whether it was an eyelid, eyelash, or the eye being out of position that caused the error. A short message will tell you what action to take, such as adjusting the chin rest or limiter.
 
Display by order or reliability
During measurement, results are displayed near the bottom of the monitor. And, after the exam, you can access a display screen that lists IOP measurements stored in memory. Internal memory provide storage of up to 10 measurements for each eye, and these figures can be listed either in the order they were taken or by reliability.
 
Centralized controls and more
Alongside the trackball and roller, the TX-F features a control panel that puts keys for all major functions in one area. So whether you're switching the measurement mode or just want to adjust the chin rest, you can get anything done with maximum ease. As an added advantage, the design of the TX-F offers easy access to the examinee's eye if necessary.
 
Extremely soft air puff
For most patients, the only thing remarkable—and worrisome—about tonometry is the air puff. Which is why it's important to ensure that this puff is as comfortable for them as can be. The TX-F employs one of the most delicate air puffs of any noncontact tonometer.
 
Convenient in every way
Benefits have been built into virtually every part of the TX-F. When it’s not in operation for 3 minutes, for example, the power-saving mode automatically kicks in. Printing is fast, and an RS232C interface is included for data transfer to an external device. In addition, since the power cord connects to the bottom of the unit, the TX-F contributes to a tidy setup as well.
