"Excellence" units

Noble materials support technology

NIDEK’s “excellence” units are developed using fine materials that are selected with care for their quality and long lifespan. Their sleek and modern design combines elegance with a high level of efficiency. All movements are automated to optimise examination time, ensure patient comfort and safety, and increase the accuracy and reliability of the result.

Synetic is a slide unit for two or three refractor arms. Its curved wooden tray provides solidity and distinctive elegance. The OT-6400 is a rotating unit for three or four instruments with a slender design. NIDEK’s excellence units are fully automated to facilitate the practitioner’s work. Many customisation options are available, including matching desks and storage units and a variety of chairs.

Since 1993, NIDEK France has been designing and producing its consultation units in its plant, near Saint-Priest, in the suburbs of Lyons. The design office is integrated to the plant, the supplies and the fabrication are local; that is why more than 75% of NIDEK S.S units are awarded the label « Origine France Garantie », only certification able to guarantee, today, that at least 50% of the design and the fabrication of a product are French.

All the consultation units developed by NIDEK France are thoroughly studied to meet three excellence criteria:

Usability for the practitioner

Offering intuitive and natural accessibility to all of the functions, NIDEK units automate and motorise all repetitive movements to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDS), which have become a serious health problem, since they are the main cause of work disabilities and loss of productivity across the European Union.

The settings are performed at the beginning of the exam, thanks to the “constant eye height” of the units and to the refractor arm. This means adjusting plate and seat heights is not required when switching from an instrument to another.

Durability

NIDEK prefers taking on local suppliers to make sure its units are reliable and robust. The quality of the materials and elements used for the fabrication is continuously controlled. We use digital stepper motors and motherboards specially developed in France for NIDEK, to build our consultation units.

Many technical tests are performed to ensure the operation during at least one hundred thousand cycles, representing fifty cycles per day, two hundred days per year for ten years. NIDEK units can be used by all types of ophthalmology centers and fit all patient flows. An unclutching system is included to make possible operating manually the units in case one of the systems is faulty, so that the practitioner can carry on with its activity, in all circumstances.

Patient’s comfort

The patient’s movements are limited during the consultation, because of the settings performed at the beginning of the exam.

As the patient’s sitting position is stable and comfortable, the patient is perfectly positioned, thus making the consultation more efficient and the result more precise.

Many settings are proposed, such as the rotation or the anterior-posterior and a large range of swivel-chair seats and accessories are available, such as armrests and footrests, to optimise the patient’s comfort and position.
