Manufacturer: HUB Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Product Description:

TearFlo™ Schirmer Tear Test Strips are sterile, individually wrapped diagnostic tools designed to accurately measure tear production. These high-quality filter paper strips are primarily used to diagnose Dry Eye Syndrome and other conditions related to tear secretion abnormalities.

Indications for Use:

• Dry Eye Syndrome Diagnosis – Assess tear production levels to identify and monitor dry eye conditions.
• Tear Secretion Evaluation – Measure basal and reflex tear production to detect hyposecretion or hypersecretion disorders.
• Preoperative Assessment – Evaluate tear film stability before ocular surgeries to ensure optimal postoperative outcomes.

Directions for Use:

Preparation:

• Perform the test in a dimly lit room to minimize reflex tearing.
• Instruct the patient to look straight ahead or slightly upward and avoid excessive blinking during the procedure.

Application:

• Fold the strip at the pre-marked notch using sterile forceps.
• Gently insert the folded end into the lower conjunctival sac at the junction of the lateral third and medial two-thirds of the lower eyelid.

Measurement:

• After 5 minutes, remove the strip carefully.
• Measure the length of the moistened area in millimeters from the notch to determine tear production.

Interpretation of Results:

• Normal Tear Production: ≥15 mm of moisture.
• Mild Tear Deficiency: 10–14 mm.
• Moderate Tear Deficiency: 5–9 mm.
• Severe Tear Deficiency: <5 mm.

Note: Values may vary based on clinical judgment and patient history.

Storage & Handling:
