12 Performance specifications
Performance specifications
Functional description
The i.Profiler ® plus offers two basic measuring options:
• Precision wavefront measurement with Hartmann-Shack technology
• Placido disc corneal topography with central and peripheral keratometry
Wavefront measurement
1 Eye
2 Beam splitter
3 Micro-lens array
4 Camera
Fig. 2 Measuring principle of the Hartmann-Shack sensor
000000-1520-928_GA_EN_021013
Performance specifications 13
The wavefront aberration measurement is based on Hartmann-Shack sensor

technology. The mode of functioning is shown in Fig. 2 in a simplified form.
An infrared laser beam generates a light spot on the retina of the eye. The
light pencil reflected from this light spot traverses the optical system from
the point of the retina to exit the eye at the corneal plane, where it
generates the wavefront (reversed ophthalmological principle). Information
on all individual optical defects of the eye (lower and higher order
aberrations) is collected here. To guarantee correct measurement, the
patient fixates on the test mark (in the form of a hot air balloon). This
ensures that the light spot of the measuring laser accurately strikes the fovea
centralis, the point of sharpest vision.
The wavefront emerging from the pupil of the eye strikes the Hartmann-
Shack sensor, consisting of a regular micro-lens array and a video (CCD)
camera. Each micro-lens of the array creates a light spot on the camera chip,
forming a pattern of light spots (Fig. 3). The position of the light spots is
evaluated with the aid of software algorithms. An eye without imaging
errors (optically perfect) adjusted to long range generates an even wavefront
that is displayed on the camera in the form of a completely regular light spot
array. An eye with imaging errors (not optically perfect) generates an
uneven, distorted wavefront, resulting in tilting of the individual light spots
on the camera chip. The wavefront or refraction of the eye within the pupil
opening is calculated from the analysis of these tilts. The results of
measurement are shown in the form of a two-dimensional, color-coded
wavefront map whose diameter corresponds to the measured diameter of
the pupil and describes the optical properties of the eye. In addition, the
optical aberrations of the eye are mathematically characterized and
quantified by Zernike coefficients.

wavefront map (B) over the total exit pupil.
000000-1520-928_GA_EN_021013
The wavefront map is uniformly colored for an eye with normal vision
(emmetropic). If the eye exhibits refractive errors, these will be shown color-
coded in the wavefront map: Short-sightedness (myopia) and farsightedness
(hyperopia) manifest themselves in wavefront maps that have spherical caps
curved to the inside or outside. Astigmatism appears in the form of elliptical
contours (areas of the same color) in the wavefront map with the elliptical
axis along the astigmatism axis. Other abnormalities (higher order
aberrations) result in characteristic irregular structures in the wavefront map.
A wavefront measurement is only a snapshot of the optical state of the

patient's eye. It is not a fixed parameter for the eye and depends on the
accommodation state.
Topography measurement
The topography of the cornea is measured with a Placido disc. The diagram
(Fig. 4) demonstrates the optical imaging in simplified form.

3 Eye
4 Placido disc with illuminated rings

A light pencil originating at point P is reflected by the mirroring, convex surface of
the cornea. The virtual point P' is reproduced via a lens to the camera P''.
000000-1520-928_GA_EN_021013
Performance specifications 15
The Placido disc has ring-shaped, diffusely transparent apertures which

guarantee even projection of the rings on the eye. The eye positioned in
front of the Placido disc reflects the ring image of the Placido disc like a
convex mirror. The reflections of the surface of the cornea of the eye are
captured by a video (CCD) camera located behind the Placido disc.
The position of the rings on the cornea change depending on the form of
the corneal surface. An evenly curved surface of the cornea exhibits
concentric and undeformed rings (A, Fig. 5). However, their width and
spacing differs subject to the radius of curvature of the cornea: The smaller
the radius of curvature of the cornea, the narrower the rings and the closer
they are together. The flatter the cornea, the wider the rings and the farther
apart they are. If the corneal surface deviates from the shape of a sphere,
the shape of the rings will also change (B, Fig. 5).
Software algorithms evaluate the form and position of the rings, providing
detailed information on the shape of the corneal surface. The distance of the
rings from one another is a measure of the radius of curvature of the corneal
surface, the deviation from a circle indicates the extent of the astigmatism.
The evaluated data is displayed in different two-dimensional, color-coded
charts which illustrate the different characteristics (optical effects, local
curvature) of the cornea.

and a distorted cornea (B).

Configuration of a network memory device

If the NAS device is not supplied with electricity via an isolation transformer
it must be located at least 1.5 m from the patient to prevent the latter from
touching the device with any part of his/her body during the examination.
Nor should the operator touch the patient and the peripheral device
simultaneously during an examination. If this warning is not observed, the
patient and/or operator is liable to receive an electric shock.
This section contains instructions for configuring a network attached storage

device or NAS device for use with the i.Profiler ® plus. These instructions
specify the requirements and recommendations for the NAS device. Either a
Carl Zeiss Vision NAS device or an NAS device from a preferred supplier that
satisfies these requirements (generic NAS device) may be used. The NAS
device may be plugged directly into the Ethernet connection of the
i.Profiler ® plus or to your practice network (LAN). Both methods of connection
are described in these instructions.
Once the NAS device has been installed and configured for use with the
i.Profiler ® plus, it functions as a network server primarily for archiving
purposes. The instructions for the use of a network server also apply
analogously to the NAS device.
000000-1520-928_GA_EN_021013
30 Installation
Requirements made on the NAS device

The NAS device must have the following features to guarantee safety and
acceptable performance in use of the i.Profiler ® plus:
• Support of 100BaseT or 1000BaseT Ethernet. For safety reasons a USB
connection is not permissible with the i.Profiler ® plus.
• Crossover cable or a non-crossover cable with a crossover adapter for
direct connection to the i.Profiler ® plus:
UTP CAT5e cable with an RJ-45 jack, at least 3 m long, so that the NAS
device can be located outside the reach of patients (see above safety
precautions).
Recommendations for the NAS device

• Storage capacity: Should be at least as large as the storage capacity of
the i.Profiler ® plus hard drive.
• Data storage: To ensure unlimited redundancy in data backup, we
recommend using data backup software of your choice for the NAS
device.
• Several NAS devices may be used for data backup. However, when two
or more NAS devices are used simultaneously, a switch or router will be
required. The switch/router may be connected directly to the i.Profiler ® plus
or another point in the LAN. The user is responsible for the configuration.

42 Operation
Explaining the i.Profiler ® plus measurement procedure

to the patient

Persons who are not authorized to use the device (see chapter Specified
purpose, page 7) may not be left unattended at or in the vicinity of the
device.

A misinterpretation of results may occur in the following patient categories
or measurement may not be possible.
• Unable to steadily fixate the fixation mark with the eye under
examination (e.g. in the case of nystagmus, extremely poor visus, lack of
concentration)
• Unable to follow the instructions of the user
• Unable to position him/herself upright in front of the medical device
• Lacking transparency of the optical media of the eye for wavefront/
refraction measurements (e.g. cataract with lens clouding stronger than
grade NO1 according to LOCS III (Lens Opacity Classification System III)
• Deficient specular reflection of the cornea for topography or wavefront
measurements (e.g. distortion of the tear film, scarring or caustic burn of
the cornea)
• Pupil opening too small (< 2 mm) for wavefront measurement
• Complete or partial coverage of the pupil caused by closed or
inadequate palpebral fissure
• Forehead or chin injuries that prevent the head from being supported on
the head/chin rest
• Morphological changes of the retinal anatomy in the region of the fovea
for wavefront/refraction measurements (e.g. retinal detachment, edema,
ulcer)
• Refractive errors or keratometry outside the measurement range
000000-1520-928_GA_EN_021013
Operation 43

The wearing of rigid or soft contact lenses may have an effect on the
surface geometry of the cornea and thus the optical state of the eye.
For topography and wavefront measurement of wearers of soft lenses a
rest period of at least two weeks should thus be observed from the time the
lens is removed to the time of measurement.
For wearers of rigid lenses the time from removal of the lens to the time of
measurement should be at least three weeks. Two measurements must be
made of the central keratometry and two of the manifest refraction at an
interval of at least one week. These may not diverge from each other by
more than 0.5 D for each meridian. The Placido ring images must be
normal.
• Explain to the patient that measurements with the i.Profiler ® plus are
contactless.
• Prior to performing measurements, inform the patient about the
procedure (appearance of a red light).
• Watch out for foreign bodies in the tear film (e.g. eyelashes). Ask the
patient to blink once or twice before starting the measurement
procedure.
000000-1520-928_GA_EN_021013
44 Operation
Positioning the patient for measurements

• Renew the upper paper pad on the chin rest after each patient.
• Ask the patient to position his/her chin on the motorized chin rest and
forehead against the forehead rest.
• Ensure that the patient's chin is on the front edge of the chin rest.
• At least half of the patient's pupil must be visible. If this is not the case,
adjust the height of the chin rest until the patient's pupil is in the
window.
• Ask the patient to look through the opening in the device at the test
mark - a picture of a long road with a hot air balloon in the distance. To
rule out accommodation, the patient should concentrate on the stripes
on the balloon.
• If the patient fails to see the balloon at first, ask him or her to continue
looking until the balloon appears.
• Ask the patient shortly before the measurement to avoid any movement
during measurements and hold the eye open as far as possible as well as
not to blink.
• Start the measurement by clicking on the Measure button in the
Measurement dialog. The automatic measurement procedure starts.

To minimize measurement errors due to tear film changes when
the eye is opened too long, the patient should be asked to blink
several times immediately before the measurement procedure.
• Ask the patient to blink again shortly after completing the centration, but
still during focusing. The display above the image window shows the
following: Centering √ Focusing….
• Prior to wavefront measurement ask the patient to continue looking at
the balloon, even when the red laser light appears.

the purpose. These parts are resistant to wiping off with cleaning agents
categorized as "low" (e.g. suds, quaternary ammonium compounds) and
"intermediate" (e.g. alcohol, Javel water, iodine); classification pursuant to:
Disinfectants and activity spectrum according to the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention, Atlanta, USA).
000000-1520-928_GA_EN_021013

The national disinfecting regulations must be observed in the choice of
disinfectants and methods. Please note that some cleaning agents and
disinfectants may have an adverse effect on plastic components. Damage
caused by such disinfectants is not covered by our warranty. The surfaces of
the device have been tested to resist frequent treatment with alcoholic
disinfectants and cleaning agents in the long term.
Please note that some cleaning agents and disinfectants may have an
adverse effect on plastic components. Damage caused by such disinfectants
is not covered by our warranty.
Never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents.
Never clean the exit aperture of the measuring optics (4, Fig. 7, page 18).

land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted
theoretically with accuracy. To asses the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an
electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
i.Profiler ® plus is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the i.Profiler ® plus should be observed
to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as re-orienting or relocating the i.Profiler ® plus.
