The Affinity is equipped with a powered lifting 2-instrument plate to optimise the practitioner’s comfort whatever the practitioner’s and the patient’s size. The plate rotates to move the 1st instrument out, and then performs a motorised or manual translation to set the 2nd instrument in front of the patient. The stiffness of the plate in reinforced to receive heavy devices (twice 40 kg), thus perfectly adapting to the refraction and to the medical examination. Its electromagnetic brake, controlled via a foot pedal, is used perform an anterior-posterior adjustment of the plate, whatever the position.

The Affinity has been especially designed. The light column is curved; indeed it makes it a unique unit. Thanks to many details, such as the half-eye shape of the side panels of the grooves on the drawer front, the unit is smart and robust. It can be fitted with one or three drawers to store more easily the test glasses and all daily accessories.
The powered translating refractor arm can also be tilted (optional) to perform the near vision examination in more natural conditions. The height to the plate has been thoroughly studied so that the eye height is constant throughout the examination.

NIDEK France was the first manufacturer that decided to equip his units with the constant eye height feature, for the instruments. No need to adjust both plate and armchair heights now, when switching from an instrument to another one. The Affinity reduces the practitioners’ tiredness and also reduces the average duration of the consultations.
To ensure a stable and comfortable position to the patient, during the examination, the displacement the armchair column is 25 cm. We propose a complete range of armchairs, from the simplest one to the most technical one, and many options, such as armrests, footrests, etc.
The unit is totally controlled through a control panel, designed to be smart and user-friendly to facilitate the daily practice and limit musculoskeletal disorders.
The Affinity consultation unit has been awarded the label ‘Origine France Garantie’ and benefits from a remote control, very useful for telemedicine.
