Topcon Medical Systems, Inc.
PARAMUS, NJ, February 8, 2008 – Topcon Medical Systems, Inc. (TMS), of Paramus, NJ, is pleased to
announce that its 3D OCT-1000 Fourier-domain OCT now has a direct interface to the Topcon EyeRoute®
Image Management System.
The 3D OCT-1000 is the world’s only Fourier Domain OCT combined with a non-mydriatic retinal camera.
It provides a true three-dimensional cross-sectional view of the retina and features Topcon’s TrueMap™
software with accurate Pin-Point™ registration of the OCT image and the fundus image.
The new direct interface to EyeRoute® allows the practitioner dynamic viewing of 3D images in real time.
The complete 3D data generated by the OCT is now automatically transferred to the EyeRoute® system
within minutes of being captured. EyeRoute® is a sophisticated image management system which
integrates images and reports from all types of ophthalmic instruments into a single, secure, digital
environment, allowing the eye care professional instant access to their patients’ tests in a single
document. EyeRoute® dramatically improves work flow for the doctor and is currently being used by
hundreds of Retina, Glaucoma, and general ophthalmologists across the United States.
The powerful new interface to EyeRoute® provides full 3D rendering functionality rather than a mere
connection to a static report. The doctor can view, edit, and manipulate a variety of images such as B
scans, digital retinal images, and visual fields, and then directly compare them to the 3D OCT images.
This will not only enhance the doctor’s diagnostic capabilities by allowing them to map the exact location of
retinal abnormalities, but it will also improve visualization for the purpose of patient education.
“The new 3D OCT-1000 represents the world’s most versatile retinal evaluation tool, bringing together
speed, accuracy, cutting-edge technology and clinical versatility,” stated Paul Iwasaki, President of
Topcon Medical Systems, “With the powerful new interface to our EyeRoute® Image Management
System, the practitioner will have another valuable tool to improve diagnosis and enhance patient care.”
