Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera TRC-NW6SF/ TRC-NW6S

This machine offers the following innovative


features

 Observe the fundus of the eye and take images without using
mydriatics.
 Improved picture quality and ease of use.
 Allows images of the periphery, using the alignment point and the
external fixation target for peripheral photography.
 Allows Fluoro-photography by changing the photography mode
(TRC-NW6SF only).
 Allows Fluoro-observation by using the built-in color video monitor
(TRC-NW6SF only).

Precautions

 This machine is a precision instrument. Be sure to install and use it


in a controlled environment under normal temperature, humidity
and atmospheric pressure conditions (10~40°C, 30-85%,

2 ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

2.1 Assembling the instrument body

 To avoid the risk of electric shock, disconnect the cable from the
power supply before assembling the instrument. Never plug in the
power cable before assembly.
WARNING

 Always install the instrument on a fixed, stable surface, to prevent


damage or injury.

CAUTION

 The instrument should always be carried by two people, both


holding the bottom of the instrument. Attempting to carry the
instrument alone could result in backache or other injury.
Attempting to carry the instrument without holding it at the bottom
CAUTION
could result in injury or damage.

Note: Since the upper part and lower part of the instrument are connected
only by the power cable, take them out together so they do not
separate from each other.

 Ensure that the photography light is no brighter than necessary,


to avoid any discomfort or injury to the patient.

CAUTION

INSTRUCTION MANUAL 65
Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera TRC-NW6SF/ TRC-NW6S

Set the illumination level using the illumination level switch (38).
You can confirm the current level by refering to the illumination level
display on the color video monitor.

Illumination level

Note: Normally the illumination level has five levels - during a visible
fluoro-observation it has seven illumination levels to choose from.
The illumination level is automatically set to level 3, when the
instrument is first turned on.

4.2.5 Setting the flash level

 Ensure that the photography light is no brighter than necessary,


to avoid any discomfort or injury to the patient.

CAUTION

Set the flash level using the flash level switch (37).
Check the compensation value by refering to the flash level
compensation display on the color video monitor.

Flash level compensation display

66
Note: You can compensate for the flash level in either direction, (+) and (-),
to a maximum of two steps from the currently set position.
When the flash level is identical to the reference value, no
compensation value is displayed.
The flash level is automatically set to the reference value, when the
instrument is first turned on.
The illumination level is automatically set to the reference value, when
the power supply is turned on.

Note: You can adjust the reference value of the flash level in either direction,
(+) or (-), to a maximum of two steps. See the Flash level on page 56.

Note: The flash level display can also display the light intensity level (unit:
WS), as well as the the compensation value.
For details about the flash level setting, contact your dealer or
TOPCON (see the back cover).

4.2.6 Changing the diopter compensation lens


Pull out the diopter compensation lens selector and change the diopter
compensation lens for the patient’s eye.

Note: If the patient has strong myopia, pull out the diopter compensation
lens selector one step and set it to (-) myopia.
If the patient has strong hyperopia, pull out the diopter compensation
lens selector two steps and set it to (+) hyperopia.

Compensation range: 0 :-13~+12D


- :-12~-33D

4.2.7 Collimation and photography

 To avoid potential injury, do not place your hand or fingers into the
area between the instrument body and the power supply unit.

CAUTION

 To avoid potential injury to the patient while moving the


instrument, always keep the objective lens at a safe distance from
the patient..
CAUTION

Use the omni-directional joystick to perform a collimating operation.

Using the omni-directional joystick to move the instrument body.


 Fine movements of the base, back and forth and right and left, are
achieved by tilting the joystick.
First free the base by turning the base brake knob left.
To fix the base, turn the base brake knob right.

1 Hold the omni-directional joystick and pull the instrument back


towards the operator. When the internal fixation target has turned on,
instruct the patient to look at the fixation target in the center.
Observe the anterior segment image on the color video monitor.
2 Move the instrument body as required until the patient’s eye can be
seen in the center of the color video monitor.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL 69
Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera TRC-NW6SF/ TRC-NW6S

3 Now hold the joystick upright, in order to facilitate the eyeground


collimation.

4 On the color video monitor, bring the ( ) scale to the patient’s pupil,
ensuring that the patient's eye is larger than the ( ) scale.
Note: Comparison of the ( ) scale and the patient's eye will indicate whether
the pupil is large enough for retinal photography.

Well dilated. Narrowly dilated for Pupil diameter is too


photography. small: darken the
room in order to dilate
the pupil further.

Note: If dilation is insufficient, you can change the flash level to twice the set
value with the illumination aperture switch (40)*.
When the illumination aperture switch (40) is pressed, the flash level
compensation display appears on the color video monitor, indicating
that the flash level is now twice the set value.
Pressing the illumination aperture switch (40) again, returns the flash
level to the set value.

9 Using the joystick, bring the two bright spots together on the video
monitor.

10 Using the joystick, move the instrument body until the bright spot of
the video monitor moves into the ( ) scale.

72
11 Operating the focusing knob, align the focusing split lines into one line
on the video monitor.

Split lines

Note: If the split lines cannot be aligned using the focusing knob, change the
diopter compensation lens.
For details, see Changing the diopter compensation lens on page 67.
Because split lines are inactive when the diopter compensation lens is
other than (0), turn the focusing knob so the eyeground image is
clearly visible on the color video monitor.

Note: If the split lines are not clearly visible, lower the illumination level, or
lower the brightness of the color video monitor.
For details about adjusting the brightness of the video monitor, see
Adjusting the color video monitor on page 90.
If one of the split lines cannot be seen, check if dilation is insufficient,
or if the eyelashes or eyelid are shading the eye.

Note: You can remove split lines from the Monitor screen.
Pressing the split switch (36) removes the split lines from the monitor
screen.
Pressing the split switch (36) again, displays the split lines on the
monitor screen.

See Changing the diopter compensation lens on page 67.

4.3.7 Preparing the patient


1 Apply mydriatics to the patient’s eyes, wait for thorough dilation, and
then guide the patient to the photography room.
Note: If picturing at a 45° picture angle or if there is insufficient dilation,
photography is possible up to ø 3.7 mm pupil diameter by changing
the stop using the illumination aperture switch (40).
The illumination aperture display appears on the color video monitor.
2 Seat the patient comfortably in the examination chair.
See Positioning the patient on page 61.
3 Prepare for an intravenous injection of fluorescent contrast medium.

4.3.8 Collimation and photography


Use the omni-directional joystick to perform a collimating operation.
For details about movement or adjustment of the instrument body using
the omni-directional joystick, see Collimation and photography on page
68.
1 As all operations are identical to color photography up to the point of
focusing, please refer to collimation of color photography.
2 Upon injecting fluorescent contrast medium, press the timer switch
(41).
Note: When the timer switch (41) is pressed, the timer begins to operate, and
the buzzer sounds every 1 second for the first 20 seconds.
Pressing the timer switch (41) again, will turn off the timer.
Note: The result of fluoro-photography depends on the injection time and the
quantity of the fluorescent contrast medium used.
