Description
The iCare IC200 Rebound Tonometer is an ophthalmic device designed to accurately and efficiently measure intraocular pressure (IOP), a critical parameter in diagnosing and managing glaucoma. Developed by iCare, a leading brand in eye care technology, the IC200 utilizes advanced rebound tonometry technology to provide reliable IOP measurements in a non-invasive, patient-friendly manner.
This technology eliminates the need for traditional methods such as air puffs or anaesthetic drops. As a non-invasive and comfortable examination method, it enhances the overall experience for patients while ensuring accurate IOP measurements,”
“This further augments the iCare IC200 and its versatility in accommodating patients in different positions. Whether supine, reclined, or seated, the iCare IC200 tonometer can effectively measure IOP, making it accessible to a wider range of patients,”
Sharon F. Freedman, MD is an Ophthalmologist, a Pediatric Glaucoma Specialist and a Pediatric Ophthalmologist who sees patients at Duke Eye Center.
Extensive flexibility in positioning is beneficial in clinical, surgical, or emergency settings when the patient’s eye pressure needs to be measured regardless of the patient’s position.
You still get all the benefits of iCare’s patented rebound technology, which eliminates the need for a puff of air or anesthetic drops. The exam is non-invasive, accurate, comfortable for the patients, and easy for the operator to perform.
iCare IC200 Key Features:
- Individual results displayed a one-decimal mmHg resolution, Offering precise measurements for each patient tested.
- Automated positioning alignment system: Ensures accurate and consistent readings.
- User interface in multiple languages: Facilitates use by medical professionals globally.
- High-visibility indicator: Provides easy identification of measurement results.
- Distinguished reliability in measuring IOP changes over time: Recent scientific publications have shown iCare rebound tonometers to be dependable when measuring IOP changes over time.
- 200 degrees of positional freedom: Allows IOP measurements in various patient positions, including standing, sitting, elevated, supine, or lateral recumbent.
- The rebound measuring principle requires no anesthetic drops, air, or specialized skills.
- Suitable for all patients: Designed to work for a wide range of patients and with improved probe control.
- Wireless connection via Bluetooth: Enables printing and data transfer.
- No calibration is required, which saves time and effort when using the tonometer.
Introducing Quick Measure
An innovative new feature that makes intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements faster and easier – iCare IC200 Quick Measure.
The Quick Measure feature captures IOP with two or three individual measurements instead of the standard six, resulting in a shorter test time. This reduction in time makes the iCare IC200 with Quick Measure an ideal solution for challenging patients. The Quick Measure feature can also be used on patients in any position.
Freedom to measure in multiple positions
The most crucial development in IC200 compared to other iCare tonometers is its freedom in the measurement position. The patient can be supine, reclined, or in a seated position. The tonometer IC200 can be used at a 200-degree measurement angle.
As with other iCare tonometers, the professional iCare IC200 tonometer is based on a rebound measuring principle that requires no anesthetic drops, air, or specialized skills.
Automated positioning alignment
A high-visibility indicator at the probe base confirms your positioning of the tonometer before measurement. A green light indicates that the measurement will be reliable,e and a red light indicates incorrect positioning.
Reliable, repeatable measurements
An intuitive user interface maximizes clinical efficiency even in the most demanding situations. With the iCare IC200, IOP measuring is fast, accurate, and reliable. IOP results are displayed to one-millimeter decimal mmHg.
The iCare IC200 tonometer provides user feedback regarding alignment. This alignment feature guides the user in positioning the probe perpendicular to the cornea when measuring.
Benefits of Using the iCare IC200 Rebound Tonometer
- Accurate and Consistent Measurements: Delivers precise IOP readings essential for early glaucoma detection and ongoing management, helping to prevent vision loss and maintain eye health.
- Enhanced Efficiency: Streamlines the IOP measurement process, allowing eye care professionals to serve more patients efficiently without compromising accuracy.
- Improved Patient Experience: The non-invasive, quick, and comfortable measurement process enhances patient satisfaction and encourages regular eye examinations.
- Flexible Integration: Easily integrates with existing clinical workflows and digital systems, facilitating comprehensive patient care and data management.
- Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for consumables like anesthetic drops, lowering operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.

How the iCare IC200 Works
The iCare IC200 operates on the principle of rebound tonometry, where a small, lightweight probe is propelled towards the cornea and allowed to rebound back. The device measures the deceleration and rebound pattern of the probe to calculate the intraocular pressure accurately. This method eliminates the need for corneal contact time and anesthetic drops, making the process swift and comfortable for patients.
