Fundus Photo specializes in digital upgrades for fundus cameras with the only FDA cleared open platform digital imaging solution in the industry. Fundus Photo offers the only ophthalmic imaging software that transfers images and data to any EMR/EHR. The company also offers the only digital upgrade for fundus cameras with no annual technical support fees or contracts.
Ophthalmic equipment and imaging expert Dale Brodsky is Founder and President of Fundus Photo, LLC and St. Louis Ophthalmic Equipment Company. A 21 year veteran of the industry, Mr. Brodsky launched Fundus Photo in 2007 when he recognized the need for more flexible and affordable imaging for the eye care community.
According to Mr. Brodsky, “Prior to Fundus Photo, mydriatic digital imaging was proprietary, hard to use, required complex technical support and was very expensive for both the initial product investment and on-going support. Many doctors could not email retina images they own to a colleague or make a copy for themselves without additional, costly software purchases. We examined all phases of the digital experience and committed to providing affordable, powerful, easy to use solutions for our doctors, and did it the right way.”
“We eliminated expensive proprietary software and hardware and gained US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance, making Fundus Photo the only digital imaging provider in the segment to achieve the highest level of quality, safety and performance the FDA and ISO require.”, continues Mr. Brodsky.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires FDA approved medical devices for payment and FDA reports all device approvals to CMS. Because digital upgrades are used for diagnosis and treatment, FDA requires these devices have 510(k) clearance to be placed in commercial distribution in the US. (https://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and- Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/downloads/bp102c14.pdf). See Chapters 10 and 80.
Furthermore, Mr. Brodsky says, “We so strongly believe in our product, service and training capabilities that we do not sell support contracts. Our doctors may call us free for assistance for as long as they own their Fundus Photo system. Our doctors do not need a credit card to ask us a question. If there is a new technician or photographer, we help teach them. Our long-term commitment and partnership with our doctors is best described ‘It’s this good!’”
