Accutome PachPen — Used Handheld Ultrasonic Pachymeter
The Accutome PachPen 24-5100 is a handheld ultrasonic pachymeter that captures central corneal thickness (CCT) in seconds, used in LASIK candidate evaluation, keratoconus screening, and corrected IOP measurement for glaucoma. This used accutome pachpen ships inspected with a 90-day warranty and a hard carrying case, ready for chairside use.
The PachPen uses a 65 MHz sampling probe with Digital Signal Analysis to filter out non-perpendicular reads, delivering measurements in the 300–999 µm range with ±5 µm clinical accuracy and ±1 µm electronic resolution at 1640 m/sec. The unit weighs 3 oz and runs on a long-life lithium battery good for approximately 15,000 readings — typical mainframe lifetime for a busy practice.
Per a National Library of Medicine-indexed study (Int Ophthalmol, 2015), the Accutome PachPen demonstrated strong intraobserver repeatability and interobserver reproducibility across personnel of varying training grades — supporting its use across optometric, technician, and ophthalmologist hands without significant drift.
Why Practices Choose the PachPen
±5 µm clinical accuracy — meets the precision requirements for refractive surgery candidate evaluation and serial keratoconus monitoring.- Digital Signal Analysis — eliminates non-perpendicular reads automatically, so the displayed value is a clean perpendicular measurement rather than an averaged-with-noise estimate.
- 15,000-reading battery life — long-life lithium pack means the device essentially never runs out between routine charges.
- 2.5 mm probe tip + 65 MHz sampling — precise corneal apex contact, no fluid bridge required, no slit-lamp setup needed.
- 3 oz handheld form factor — sits in a coat pocket or chair-side tray; reaches the patient regardless of position.
- Wide measurement range 300–999 µm — covers normal corneas through edema and post-graft thickness without scale switches.
- Reproducible across operators — published reproducibility data supports use by technicians without concern for measurement drift between examiners.
Clinical Applications
- LASIK and refractive surgery candidate evaluation — confirming residual stromal bed planning
- Keratoconus screening and longitudinal monitoring
- Glaucoma assessment — corrected IOP based on Goldmann correction tables
- Corneal edema evaluation in Fuchs dystrophy and post-cataract patients
- Pre-operative cataract surgery planning when corneal disease is suspected
- Corneal graft monitoring following PKP or DSAEK
Who This Is For
- Refractive surgery practices — primary or backup PachPen for LASIK consults
- Optometric practices doing keratoconus screening or corrected-IOP glaucoma management
- Glaucoma specialists who want corrected IOP for thicker/thinner corneas
- Optometric and ophthalmic teaching programs needing a reproducible portable pachymeter
- Mobile clinics adding corneal thickness capture without slit-lamp infrastructure
