PACHETTE 4
GLOBAL LEADER IN DESKTOP
PACHYMETRY
The Pachette 4 is globally recognized as the leading portable, desktop pachymeter. It’s designed for performance, portability and convenience. Turn on power, contact the probe tip to any location on the cornea, including the periphery, and the Pachette 4, using DGH’s proven measurement algorithm, will obtain accurate, reproducible measurements in a fraction of a second. The angled probe is detachable and can be sterilized, making the Pachette 4 perfect for intra-operative use. Clinical applications for corneal thickness measurements include preoperative evaluation of laser correction procedures, CCT measurements for glaucoma screening, accurate monitoring of keratoconus treatment, and in the general assessment of corneal health related to pathologies.

GOLD STANDARD IN DESKTOP PACHYMETRY
The Pachette 4 is globally recognized as the leading portable, desktop pachymeter. It’s designed for performance, portability and convenience. Turn on power, contact the probe tip to any location on the cornea, including the periphery, and the Pachette 4, using DGH’s proven measurement algorithm, will obtain accurate, reproducible measurements in a fraction of a second. The angled probe is detachable and can be sterilized, making the Pachette 4 perfect for intra-operative use. Clinical applications for corneal thickness measurements include preoperative evaluation of laser correction procedures, CCT measurements for glaucoma screening, accurate monitoring of keratoconus treatment, and in the general assessment of corneal health related to pathologies.
Turn on power and the Pachette 4 is ready to take measurements. Contact the probe tip to any location on the cornea, and the Pachette 4 will obtain and store up to 25 measurements in a fraction of a second. Audible feedback indicates when a valid measurement is complete. After bilateral measurements have been completed, the measurements can be reviewed on the 16 character by 2-line LCD display which provides easy visibility of the current measurement, the average, and the standard deviation of all measurements taken.
Proven measurement algorithm yields accurate, reproducible measurements in a fraction of a second. The measurement capability of the Pachette 4 is an enhancement of the proven technology that has set the standard for measuring corneal thickness since 1982.
When you receive your Pachette 4, the unit is ready to take corneal measurements at initial power up. It is not necessary to set up or configure any parameters. However, the Pachette 4 has been designed to allow the user to personalize the operational mode, number of measurements taken, adjustment of time delays etc. Once modified, these parameters are permanently stored in its memory.
The Pachette 4 can be upgraded to extend its range from the standard range of 200-1100 microns, to an extended range of 95-1100 microns to help operators measure corneal thickness during corneal procedures. The Pachette 4 probe is detachable for easy cleaning and replacement. The probe is sterilizable with a cold soak so it can be used intra-operatively.
The Pachette 4 probe can be stored in the custom molded probe holder cavity and cord wrap, protecting the probe during transportation or storage.
The Pachette 4 runs on two (2) alkaline AA batteries. It’s supplied with four (4) alkaline batteries, and can also be used with NiMh rechargeable batteries.
Mapping Mode for obtaining and storing up to 33 actual and biased corneal mapped measurements. These measurements can be obtained at any point on the cornea, including the periphery.
Pachette 4 is designed for performance, portability and convenience while using limited counter space. The Pachette 4 is encased in a durable rubber holster with a built-in tilt stand. The Pachette 4 has a lifetime of 10 years and an industry leading warranty.
