PURPOSE OF USE
To observe and photograph the fundus through the pupil and document it.
OPERATION PRINCIPLE
The fundus of the patient's eye is illuminated by the infrared light emitted from the illumination
optical system. The observation CCD camera built into the instrument receives the image and
the image is indicated on the color LCD monitor allowing the operator to observe the fundus.
After adjusting the photography position and focus, the visible light is emitted from the illumina-
tion optical system provided for photography by operating the photography switch of the instru-
ment. The digital camera, which is connected to the instrument, receives the image and then
the image is recorded in the memory card built into the digital camera or the connected image
filing system or external recording device, which is a commercial product.
The fundus of the patient's eye can also be illuminated, observed and photographed by the vis-
ible light after removing the IR filter from the illumination optical system. Moreover, it is possi-
ble to perform red-free observation and photography by inserting the RF filter into the
illumination optical system.

1 Moisten a lens cleaning paper with reagent ethanol properly. Wipe the objective lens with
the lens cleaning paper by rubbing lightly.
2 If your lens cleaning paper is dirty, replace it with clean one and repeat step 1.
3 Repeat steps 1 and 2 until no stain is seen on the lens.
4 Finally, wipe the objective lens with a dry lens cleaning paper. It is o.k. to wipe the lens
after breathing on it.
Don't use the following methods because the lens can be damaged.
• Wiping the lens by grasping with fingernails
• Using a lens cleaning paper wound around a hard tool (for example, a metallic tool)
Use a soft lens cleaning paper without fiber.

• For example, BEMCOT (Asahikasei)
Don't let any strong-alkaline liquid adhere to the objective lens.

If such liquid adheres to the lens, immediately wipe it off.
If it is difficult to remove a stain from the objective lens, contact your dealer or TOPCON
(see the back cover).

Wavelength [nm]
Photochemical light source radiance of this instrument

LA (without crystalline lens) : 0.48 mW/ (cm2·sr)
LB (with crystalline lens) : 0.45 mW/ (cm2·sr)
Meaning of LA and LB
• Spectrally weighted photochemical radiances LB and LA give a measure of the potential that
exists for a beam of light to cause photochemical hazard to the retina. LB gives the measure for
eyes in which the crystalline lens is in place. LA gives this measure either for eyes in which the
crystalline lens has been removed (aphakes) and has not been replaced by a UV-blocking lens
or for eyes of very young children.
• The value stated for TRC-NW8 gives a measure of hazard potential when the instrument is
operated at maximum intensity and maximum aperture. Values of LB or LA over 80mW/ (cm2·sr)
are considered high for beams which wholly fill a dilated pupil.
• Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina, the use of the device for ocu-
lar examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness setting should not
exceed what is needed to provide clear visualization of the target structures. This device should
be used with filter that eliminate UV radiation (<400 nm) and, whenever possible, filters that
eliminate short-wavelength blue light (<420 nm).
• The retinal exposure dose for a photochemical hazard is a product of the radiance and the expo-
sure time. If the value of radiance were reduced in half, twice the time would be needed to reach
the maximum exposure limit.
• While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for fundus cameras, it is recom-
mended that the intensity of light directed into the patient's eye be limited to the minimum level
which is necessary for diagnosis. Infants, aphakes and persons with diseased eyes will be at
greater risk. The risk may also be increased if the person being examined has had any exposure
with the same instrument or any other opthalmic instrument using a visible light source during
the previous 24 hours.This will apply particularly if the eye has been exposed to retinal photogra-
phy.
