The NIDEK REFRACTOR Model RT-3100 is a computerized refractor used for subjective refraction with the NIDEK AUTO REFRACTOMETER (AR), AUTO REF/KERATOMETER (ARK), AUTO REF/ KER/TONOMETER (RKT), or AUTO LENSMETER (LM) via Eye Care card. The RT-3100 includes a refractor head, control box, and relay box. The relay box not only connects the other two units, but also connects the Chart Presenting device or PC. The control box includes the key panel, display, and printer. The display is a touch-screen panel. The control box displays the data and can be used for almost all operations. In addition, the control box operates the refractor head and the connected chart presenting device. It allows the refractor and charts to be controlled together. Normally, the relay box is installed on the system table (not included in the RT-3100 package.)

Recalls
2 of these are Class II. Class II means a temporary or reversible health consequence. Class III is unlikely to cause harm at all → typically a labelling or documentation fault. Volume alone is not a quality signal: a manufacturer that ships more recalls more.
