No, your screener will arrive calibrated as part of the manufacturing process and won’t require calibration from that point.
When the Spot Vision Screener is fully charged, how many screenings can occur on average before needing to be charged again?
There is no set number of screenings per charge due to variation in screening time needed for each particular patient; however, your screener should operate for over four hours before requiring a recharge.
