Reichert iPac Corneal Pachymeter Used

Description

Corneal Pachymeter — Used Reichert iPac Handheld Ultrasound

The Reichert iPac corneal pachymeter is a compact, one-hand ultrasound device engineered for fast, accurate central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements at the slit lamp or chairside. With a measurement range of 200–1000 µm and resolution of 1 µm, the iPac corneal pachymeter delivers the precision glaucoma specialists and cataract surgeons rely on for IOP correction, refractive screening, and surgical planning. Its integrated CCT filtering algorithm automatically rejects artifact readings, ensuring only valid measurements are stored and displayed. This pre-owned unit is fully functional and ready for clinical use.

Peer-reviewed evidence confirms the clinical importance of reliable corneal pachymetry in ophthalmic diagnostics. The National Library of Medicine published research validating that handheld non-contact pachymeters provide repeatable and accurate central corneal thickness measurements suitable for routine clinical use. The Reichert iPac’s 10.5 MHz ultrasound probe and automated filtering align with these validated measurement principles, making it a dependable tool for daily CCT assessment across diverse patient populations.

Why Practices Choose the Reichert iPac Corneal Pachymeter

• One-button 5-way control — A single ergonomic joystick navigates all menus and captures measurements, keeping the workflow entirely one-handed so the clinician never loses instrument position.
• Auto-rotating color LCD — The built-in display automatically rotates to match probe orientation, so readings are always correctly oriented whether measuring right or left eye.
• CCT filtering algorithm — Proprietary signal processing distinguishes valid corneal waveforms from artifact and noise, reducing re-measurement rates and improving throughput at busy practices.
• High precision specs — 1 µm resolution and ±5 µm accuracy on a 200–1000 µm range covers the full clinical spectrum from thin post-LASIK corneas to edematous grafts.
• Portable, lightweight design — At 100 g, the iPac travels easily between exam lanes, OR suites, and mobile screening events without a cart or dedicated workspace.
• Rechargeable Li-ion battery — The battery system provides extended clinical use per charge with included charging cradle, eliminating AA battery replacement costs.
• USB data output — Measurement data can be transferred directly to practice management or EHR systems for seamless documentation and IOP correction tables.

Clinical Applications

The Reichert iPac corneal pachymeter is used across a broad range of clinical scenarios where precise CCT measurement is essential to accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

• Glaucoma management — Correcting tonometric IOP readings for corneal thickness is a standard of care requirement; thin corneas underestimate true IOP, and the iPac provides the correction data needed at every visit.
• Pre-refractive surgery screening — LASIK and PRK candidacy protocols require minimum CCT thresholds; the iPac delivers rapid bilateral measurements to clear or exclude candidates efficiently.
• Corneal disease monitoring — Keratoconus progression, Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, and bullous keratopathy all manifest as CCT changes; serial pachymetry with the iPac tracks disease trajectory.
• Post-surgical follow-up — Penetrating keratoplasty and DSAEK graft health is monitored via edema regression; the iPac’s wide 200–1000 µm range accommodates both normal and swollen grafts.
• Pediatric and specialty exams — The handheld form factor allows measurement in non-cooperative patients, supine individuals, or patients unable to use chin-rest instruments.

Who This Is For

The Reichert iPac is well suited for practices and programs that need clinical-grade corneal pachymetry in a portable, easy-to-use package.

• Glaucoma specialists needing reliable CCT at every monitoring visit to apply IOP correction factors accurately.
• Refractive surgery centers running high-volume LASIK/PRK pre-op screening where speed and one-handed operation are priorities.
• Cornea specialists tracking keratoconus, Fuchs, or graft status over time with consistent, repeatable serial measurements.
• Ophthalmology practices that see a mix of general, surgical, and subspecialty patients and need a single portable pachymeter that covers all use cases.
• Mobile and outreach programs providing community glaucoma screening or surgical camps where a lightweight, battery-powered device is essential.
