Compact
All of Kowa's manufacturing expertise were put together to design a flare meter with all the necessary functions in a compact body.
Simple & Quick
With operations made while facing the patient and all buttons located within hands reach, the flare meter is easier to use than ever.
Easy Alignment
Quick and precise measurement is capable in SP (small pupil) mode and front / side view alignment modes.
Working distance adjustment
Position the alignment dot in the center circle while bringing the dot into focus.
■Side view alignment
Measuring point adjustment
Measurement is possible when the measurement window at the center is green.
Measuring window
The color and view of the measurement window depends
on the alignment. Measurement cannot be made when
the central square is white; measurement is possible
when the same square is green.
■Front view alignment
Measuring point adjustment
Press the measurement button and scan laser.
Measurement is possible when the center circle for alignment is green.
SP mode
The alignment position for patients with small pupils
is displayed when the SP button is pressed.
The scattered light is converted into an electrical signal and its intensity is displayed as flare value on the LCD monitor. All flare and dispersion data is analyzed, providing reliable and accurate measurements.
Printout
Built-in thermal printer with easy paper change supports quick operations.
Calibration
Pre-installed calibrator on the body for easy calibration.
The FM-600 is based on a measurement principle of
laser light scattering detection. The instrument uses a
diode laser beam to scan a measurement window that is
projected inside the anterior chamber of the eye. As an
aqueous protein (component of inflammation) passes
through the focal point of the laser,light scattering
occurs. The intensity of the scattered light (directly
proportional to the amount of protein particles-flare) is
detected by a photomultiplier tube (PMT), which
generates an electrical signal. This signal is
immediately digitized to eliminate outside noise
interference and is processed by a computer which
displays the results for user analysis. The unit of
measurement employed by the FM-600 is "Photon
Count" per millisecond.
The KOWA FM-600 is classified Class 1 laser product.
