The Icare TP01 Tonometer Probe is a sterile, single-use rebound tonometry probe designed for the Icare TA01i rebound tonometer, as well as the Icare IC100, IC200 and ST500 models. Supplied 100 probes to a box, each TP01 probe gives a fresh, sterile contact point for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), making it a core consumable for ophthalmology clinics, optometry practices and glaucoma screening programs across Australia.
Accurate IOP measurement is central to diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma. Because the TP01 probe is used once and then discarded, it removes the cross-contamination risk and cleaning downtime associated with reusable tonometer tips, while keeping reading-to-reading accuracy consistent.

Key Features of the Icare TP01 Tonometer Probe
Precision Rebound Design
- Fine metal wire probe with a small medical-grade plastic tip
- Manufactured to tight weight and straightness tolerances for repeatable readings
- Balanced tip geometry for gentle, consistent corneal contact
Sterile, Single-Use Construction
- Individually packed in a protective probe tube for one-time use per patient
- Removes cross-infection risk between patients
- No cleaning, disinfection or sterilisation cycle required
Purpose-Built Fits These Models
- Fits the Icare TA01i, IC100, IC200 and ST500 rebound tonometers
- Drops directly into the tonometer’s magnetic probe base no modification or adapter needed
- Consistent fit and rebound characteristics across the supported model range
Bulk 100-Pack Convenience
- 100 disposable probes supplied per box
- Suited to busy ophthalmology and optometry clinics
- Compact packaging for easy consult-room storage
Fits These Models
The TP01 probe fits the following Icare rebound tonometer models:
- Icare TA01i
- Icare IC100
- Icare IC200
- Icare ST500
If your device is an Icare TonoVet veterinary tonometer (TV01, TV011, TV012 or TV031), use the site’s TVP01 disposable tonometer probe instead it is a different part number to the TP01.
Benefits of Using Icare TP01 Probes
Better Infection Control
A fresh TP01 probe for every patient gives a sterile contact point on every measurement, reducing the risk of cross-infection between consultations.
Faster Clinic Workflow
- No sterilisation cycle between patients
- Quicker turnaround during busy clinic sessions
- Simple, grab-and-go probe changes
Consistent, Reliable Readings
- Stable rebound characteristics probe to probe
- Supports reliable IOP trend tracking over repeat visits
Use Cases & Applications
Ophthalmology & Optometry Clinics
Routine and specialist IOP testing during comprehensive eye examinations.
Glaucoma Screening & Monitoring
Early detection, pre- and post-operative eye pressure checks, and ongoing monitoring of at-risk patients.
Hospitals & High-Volume Practices
Standardised, infection-controlled testing for busy eye clinics and hospital outpatient departments.
How Rebound Tonometry Works
The TP01 probe operates on rebound tonometry technology: the probe briefly and gently touches the cornea, then rebounds. The connected Icare device measures the deceleration and contact time of that rebound to calculate intraocular pressure.
Why Clinicians Choose Rebound Tonometry
- Typically no topical anaesthetic required
- Minimal patient discomfort
- Fast reading time, well suited to sensitive or anxious patients
Storage, Handling & Best Practice
- Store the sealed box in a clean, dry environment away from moisture
- Use one new probe per patient, per eye where required by protocol
- Avoid touching the probe tip before use
- Dispose of each probe immediately after use
- Follow your tonometer manufacturer’s operating guidelines
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Icare TP01 tonometer probe used for?
The Icare TP01 is a sterile, single-use probe used with supported Icare rebound tonometers to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) during eye examinations and glaucoma screening.
Which tonometers is the TP01 probe fits?
TP01 probes are designed for the Icare IC100, IC200, ST500 and TA01i rebound tonometers, as specified by the probe manufacturer.
Does the TP01 probe fit the Icare TonoVet veterinary tonometer?
No. The TonoVet veterinary tonometer range (TV01, TV011, TV012, TV031) uses the separate TVP01 probe, not the TP01. Check your device model before ordering.
Can TP01 probes be reused on multiple patients?
No. Each TP01 probe is intended for single use only. Use one new probe per patient and discard it after the measurement to prevent cross-contamination.
How many probes come in one box?
Each box contains 100 individually packed, sterile TP01 disposable probes.
Do I need anaesthetic drops to use these probes?
No. Rebound tonometry with the TP01 probe briefly and gently contacts the cornea, and typically does not require topical anaesthetic or numbing drops.
What is the TP01 probe made from?
The probe consists of a fine metal wire with a small tip made from medical-grade plastic, manufactured to tight weight and straightness tolerances for repeatable readings.
How should I store TP01 tonometer probes?
Keep the sealed box in a clean, dry environment away from moisture, and avoid touching the probe tip before use.
