Topcon Medical Systems, Inc.
PARAMUS, NJ, January 15, 2009 – Topcon Medical Systems, Inc. (TMS), the leading supplier of
ophthalmic diagnostic equipment and image management solutions, is pleased to announce that it has
received FDA clearance for its enhanced 3D OCT-1000 TrueMap™ Measurement Software as an addition
to its previously cleared
3D OCT-1000 Optical Coherence Tomography System.
This innovative software allows the practitioner to visualize four layers of the retina, including the inner
limiting membrane (ILM), the IS/OS junction, RPE, and Bruch’s membrane. In addition, the software can
seamlessly import and read data from the Stratus® 1 time domain OCT.
“Unlike other fourier or spectral domain OCT’s, the Topcon 3D OCT-1000’s thickness reports correlate
directly to the legacy Stratus 3.0 data since the Topcon 3D OCT-1000 has the ability to set the thickness
measurements to exactly the same parameters as the Stratus,” said Nobu Ryu, President of Topcon
Medical Systems.
The cost of the new measurement software is included in the cost of the Topcon 3D OCT-1000 and the
measurement software upgrade package is included in the cost of the 3D OCT-1000 warranty, so 3D OCT
customers who are under warranty, will be upgraded to the measurement software at no additional charge.
The new software will be on demonstration during the upcoming Macula Foundation meeting in New
York, January 16-17, and the Hawaiian Eye meeting in Wailea, Maui, January 18-23, 2009. For more
information about the 3D OCT-1000 or the measurement software module, please contact Topcon
