ECP Schirmer Strips - Box of 100

ECP Schirmer Strips are essential diagnostic tools in ophthalmic examination, designed to quantitatively measure tear production for the diagnosis of conditions such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca and dry eye. These strips aid clinicians in evaluating a range of ocular symptoms, including foreign body sensations, burning/stinging, tearing, and photophobia, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of patient discomfort.

Each strip is crafted from Whatman No 41 filter paper, ensuring reliable absorption for accurate tear assessment. Supplied sterile in individual pouches, ECP Schirmer Strips maintain hygienic standards for clinical use, with sterilization commonly achieved through Ethylene Oxide (EO).

Optimal storage conditions for these diagnostic strips include temperatures between 5ºC and 55ºC and a relative humidity ranging from 55% to 75%. As a Class I medical device, ECP Schirmer Strips are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under 21 CFR 886.1800, indicating compliance with general controls for safety and effectiveness.
