Santinelli Expands Access to Technical Support
Product: AdvantEdge
Top Line: Santinelli International has created a convenient way for customers to directly access its library of over 30 proprietary “AdvantEdge” technical support videos by utilizing QR code technology.
Close Up: The idea for the initiative came about through recent Santinelli focus groups, where customers expressed a need for timely product information and “24/7” support. Now by simply scanning a QR Code with a smart phone QR Reader App, the operator can locate the necessary videos needed for best practices, calibration, troubleshooting and more. High-definition, Vimeo video technology allows for the viewer to clearly see the intricate details of the various equipment elements on either a mobile device or desktop computer.
“With the QR Code scanning initiative, customers can more easily keep their equipment in top shape, save time and money, and virtually eliminate downtime,” said Matthew McKenna, vice president of client services.
Vital Stats: The self-adhesive labels with QR Codes for the company’s two most popular models, the LE-1200 and LEX-1200 lens edgers, are presently being distributed. The labels can be placed directly on the edger for quick reference. Santinelli International plans to develop QR Codes for all of its current models in the coming months. To request QR Code labels, please contact the company’s technical call center at (888) 645-EDGE (3343).

FDA Clears Icare Home Tonometer
Product: Icare Home
Top Line: Icare USA, a subsidiary of Icare Finland, announced that the Icare Home tonometer has been cleared by the FDA and is now available for use in the U.S.
Close Up: The Icare Home provides eyecare professionals with clinical data about how their patients’ IOP fluctuates throughout the day. Instead of using a puff of air, the device uses the same patented rebound technology other Icare tonometers, such as the ic100 and the TA01i. No eye drops are required and patients do not need specialized skills to use it.
“The fact that we can put a tonometer of this caliber in the hands of patients is truly unprecedented,” said John Floyd, president and CEO of Icare USA. “The Icare Home makes doctors aware of dangerous spikes that they may never have known about otherwise. The impact and level of care that this provides cannot be overstated.” The unit requires no specialized skills for patient use.
Vital Stats: Several features make the Icare Home easy for patients to use. For instance, the unit’s built-in Icare EyeSmart technology performs automatic OD/OS recognition. Positioning is also easy thanks to Icare EasyPos, which uses red and green light signals to help patients correctly position the tonometer. The Icare Home also features Icare AMS, an automated measuring sequence that can take either a single measurement or a series of six measurements with one touch of a button.
