User manual
II Technical information
It is not possible to vary the output energy of the transducer. However, to minimize exposure,
measurements should be kept as short as possible.
If more accuracy is desired, the intensity in the body at any transducer point may be calculated
according to the formula recommended by the FDA:
It = Iwexp(-0.069fz)
Where:
It = is the estimated in situ intensity
Iw is the measured intensity in water at the focus of the transducer
f is the ultrasonic frequency in megahertz
z is the distance from the face of the probe to the transducer focus in centimeters, which is the point of
measurement
This formula was also used to calculate the derated values shown above.
II /8 XE_CTT_ME_AN_150319
User manual
II Technical information
CAUTION:
It is always recommended to minimize exposure by limiting the ultrasonic transmission to as short
periods as possible.
ISPPA.3 The derated spatial-peak pulse-average intensity (watts per square centimeter). The value of
IPA.3 at the position of global maximum MI (IPA.3@MI) may be reported instead of ISPPA.3 if the
global maximum MI is reported.
Ml The Mechanical Index. The value of MI at the position of ISPPA 3, (MI@ISPPA.3) may be
reported instead of MI (global maximum value) if ISPPA.3 is < 190W/cm2.
PR.3 The derated peak rarefactional pressure (megapascals) associated with the transmit pattern
giving rise to the value reported under MI.
Wo The ultrasonic power (milliwatts). For the operating condition giving rise to ISPTA.3, Wo is the
total time-average power; for the operating condition subject to reporting under ISPPA.3, W0 is
the ultrasonic power associated with the transmit pattern giving rise to the value reported under
ISPPA.3.
fc The center frequency (MHz). For Ml and ISPPA.3 , fc is the center frequency associated with the
transmit pattern giving rise to the global maximum value of the respective parameter. For
ISPTA.3 , for combined modes involving beam types of unequal center frequency, fc is defined as
the overall range of center frequencies of the respective transmit patterns.
zSP The axial distance at which the reported parameter is measured (centimeters).
x-6, y-6 Are respectively the in-plane (azimuthal) and out-of-plane (elevational) -6dB dimensions in the x-
y plane where zsp is found (centimeters).
PD Pulse duration (microseconds) associated with the transmit pattern giving rise to the reported
value of the respective parameter.
PRF Pulse repetition frequency (Hz) associated with the transmit pattern giving rise to the reported
value of the respective parameter.
EBD Entrance beam dimensions for the azimuthal and elevational planes (centimeters).

The least-significant digit of the display is one micron. However, the accuracy of the measurements is
5 microns, over a range of corneal thicknesses from 200 to 999 microns. The maximum acoustic
resolution (the ability to distinguish two separate echos) is 81 microns, and is limited by the central
frequency of the imaging transducer. For structures larger than 200 microns, the reproducibility of the
measurements is actually 5 microns. It does not include errors caused by operation or uncertainty in
the velocity of sound.
The operator should minimize errors by keeping the probe perpendicular to the cornea and
applying as little pressure as possible.
II /12 XE_CTT_ME_AN_150319
User manual
II Technical information
The default value of sound velocity, 1620 m/s, is considered to be the most standard value of velocity in
the cornea. Other values can only be used if they are specifically documented for the type of eye under
treatment.
NOTE
It is not recommended to modify the value of velocity in cornea.
The accuracy of the emissions given in the table above is: Power 29%, Pressure 14.6%, Intensities 29%,
Center frequency 2%, as defined by the spectrum of the pulse.

The thickness of the biometry probe membrane (located at the tip of the probe) is varying slightly from a
biometry probe to another. As a consequence, if the contact method is used: the distance between the
probes transducer to the point where the probe is in contact with the eye is varying as well. It is then
necessary to perform a calibration to get correct biometry measurements. Calibrating the biometry
probe consists of performing an acquisition on the test block (located on the front panel) and then to
adjust the Position of marker #1 in Contact (mm) value as described below in Section 2.1.2
Calibration adjustment.

5) A tracking starts: the purpose is to record the measurement that has the highest posterior face echo.
This measurement will correspond to the best position, well perpendicular to the posterior face. The
purpose is to check the Test-Block measurement. The Best should be comprised between:
10.00 < Best < 10.11 mm
This value is calculated with the average velocity of 1550 m/s
Select Clear to erase the Best and Current fields and start a new measurement.
1) Press Clear to erase the values in the Best and Current fields, and to start a new acquisition for
the best position.
2) Select the Position of Marker#1 in contact field and use the potentiometer to adjust its value so that
the Best and Current values are corrected the accepted range:

3) Press OK button to validate, save the calibration and close the window.
The Position of Marker#1 in contact value is then corrected in the General Setu p screen:
From now on, the biometry measurements when using the contact technique are correct.
CAUTION:
If both Biometry probe and a ProBeam are in use, it is necessary to perform the calibration for both
probes. Select the appropriate probe in the biometry screen and perform the calibration corresponding
to the selected probe.
NOTE
This correction is affecting the Anterior Chamber depth measurement when doing the acquisition in
CONTACT technique only! With the IMMERSION technique, this correction does not apply. With the
IMMERSION technique, the first marker is set on the corneal echo, far from the emission spike.
CAUTION:
When changing pachymetry probe: it is recommended to perform a new calibration to improve the
acquisition process.

V Appendix IOL formulae
In optimized mode, the constants a0, a1 and a2 are obtained by a separate optimization process. For
each patient, the actual post-op refraction is used to calculate the corresponding optical ACD. For all
patients, these values are then correlated with the pre-op ultrasound measurements of the (acoustical)
ACD and the axial length. Double linear regression analysis yields the constants a0, a1 and a2.

Formula:
Rr = R(0.0276TL+0.3635)
Where:
*TL is the total length
*R = 337.5/K
KR = 337.5/Rr
