"Performance" units

User-friendliness and durability for your practices

To meet the need in high-speed consultations, with increase efficiency, NIDEK has designed a range of robust, reliable and user-friendly units for 2 or 3 instruments, to smoothen the exams. Thanks to quick motors, the practitioner’s physical effort is reduced as much as possible. The settings are made at the beginning of the consultation and remain adapted to all the instruments, whatever the patient’s morphology.

The Affinity is a unit for 2 instruments and a refractor arm. Its features and style have been designed so that it can integrate all consultation rooms. This unit a perfect compromise between the performance, the durability and the volume. All our units can be equipped with a folding swivel chair (optional), but the OT-4200 is the only unit designed to host people with reduced mobility. Many options are available for all the units to meet each user’s requirements.

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. labélisées « Origine France Garantie », the only certification currently guaranteeing a minimum of 50% French design and manufacture of a product.

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

Usability for the practitioner

Accessing all the functions is intuitive and as natural as possible. On the NIDEK units all repetitive motions are powered and automated to prevent musculoskeletal disorders that have become a serious health problem. They are the main incapacity for work and the main cause of productivity losses inside 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.
