Introduction RETeval-DRTM Electroretinograph is designed as an aid in diagnosis and disease management of visual pathway dysfunctions or ophthalmic disorders such as diabetic retinopathy (DR). The DR Assessment Protocol has been clinically validated to match the diagnosis from seven-field stereoscopic fundus images. Test results are visible immediately on the device screen. The device automatically creates PDF reports that include test results, patient information and your practice or institution information. These PDF reports can be transferred to any PC via a USB cable. Before using the device, read the sections of the manual that pertain to your use of the RETeval-DR. For information about any Welch Allyn product, contact Welch Allyn at www.welchallyn.com/about/company/locations.
Intended use The RETeval-DR device is intended to generate photic signals and measure and display evoked responses generated by the retina and the visual nervous system. The operators of the device are intended to be physicians, optometrists, medical technicians, clinical medical assistants, nurses, and other health-care professionals.
Indications for use RETeval-DR is indicated for use in the measurement of visual electrophysiological potentials, including electroretinogram (ERG). RETeval is also indicated for use in the measurement of pupil diameter. RETeval-DR is intended as an aid in diagnosis and disease management in visual pathway dysfunctions or ophthalmic disorders (e.g., diabetic retinopathy).
Contraindications Use of the RETeval-DR device is contraindicated under these conditions: •
Do not use with patients diagnosed with photosensitive epilepsy.
•
Do not use with patients who are allergic to the sensor strip gel.
•
Avoid use when the orbit structure is damaged or surrounding soft tissue has an open lesion.

Introduction
Some patients may feel discomfort when viewing the flickering light that the RETeval-DR device creates to test their eyes. This discomfort usually subsides quickly when the test procedure completes.

This includes all items that could be contacted during normal operation, and all other functions, such as user maintenance and cleaning, as are defined in the Directions for use. No internal components are known to be made with natural rubber latex.
Applicability Regulatory and Safety requirements are occasionally revised. Please refer to the user manual that originally accompanied your RETeval device for regulatory and safety information relevant to that specific device.

Connect the power cord The RETeval-DR device is shipped with a partial charge. However, it is strongly recommended that you fully charge the device prior to testing. 1. Attach the power brick plate that matches your mains outlet to the power brick power plug. 2. Insert the power cord receptacle into the power brick port on the back of the docking station. 3. Insert the power brick power plug into the mains outlet. The power supply accepts 100 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Charge the battery using the power brick The RETeval-DR lithium-ion battery charges when in the docking station from either the computer or laptop via the USB cable or the power brick connection to a mains outlet. If the power brick is connected, charging will be significantly faster than if a USB connection is used. The charging status is shown on the display. If the display is blank, press the power button to turn it on. The RETeval-DR device is shipped with a partial charge. 1. Insert the power cord receptacle for the power brick into the power brick port on the back of the docking station. 2. Insert the power brick plate that is appropriate for your location into the power brick power plug. 3. Insert the power brick power plug into the mains outlet.
Charge the battery using the USB port Charging the RETeval-DR device using the USB cable is significantly slower than charging the device using the power brick and a mains outlet. The charging status is shown on the display. If the display is blank, press the power button to turn it on. The RETeval-DR device is shipped with a partial charge. 1. Insert the USB connector into the port on the back of the docking station. 2. Insert the USB connector into an available USB port on your computer or laptop.
Connect the sensor strip lead The RETeval-DR sensor strip lead connection is above the battery compartment on the front of the device. Connect the sensor strip lead to the blue sensor strip lead connector.
Thumb joystick The joystick provides a simple and intuitive user interface. Use your thumb to push the joystick in the desired direction.
