Icare USA has announced the release of two exciting new diagnostic technologies: the Centervue DRSplus confocal fundus imaging system and the Icare ic200 handheld tonometer for portable measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP).
The DRSplus confocal fundus imaging system uses white LED illumination, which includes the entire visible spectrum, to produce TrueColor and detail-rich images, setting a new standard for retinal imaging. Compared to traditional fundus camera imaging, DRSplus images are sharper, with better optical resolution and greater contrast, even through cataracts. Physicians can view detailed 45° retinal images as well as panoramic 80° images using the Mosaic function. Fast, fully automated operation speeds up exam time and requires minimal training.
“The DRSplus is a revolutionary retinal imaging camera that truly provides outstanding diagnostic caliber, non-mydriatic color fundus photographs that exceed the expectations of even the most particular of retina specialists, said Atul Jain, MD, of Retinal Specialists San Diego.
“Furthermore, its ease of use and ability to reproduce consistently high-quality color images of both eyes in under 10 seconds, with the push of a single button, makes it an invaluable staple in any clinic requiring assessment of macular diseases and pathology. This technology has the power to replace traditional slit lamp biomicroscopy in the majority of retinal patients, allowing the physician more time to discuss important findings with the patient as well as documenting relevant pathology. Our staff finds the system's fully automated capabilities and optimized patient comfort enhance efficiency and workflow."
The Icare ic200 is the next generation in Icare’s trusted handheld tonometer line. Based on a rebound measuring principle, the device measures IOP without any anesthetic drops, air puffs or specialized skills. Enhancements to the ic200 include the ability to test patients while they are sitting, supine or elevated. A new streamlined design and user interface include light indicators that confirm the tonometer is positioned properly for measurement.
“The ic200 is an incredible machine that has improved the workflow of our practice, and allowed us to provide better care for our glaucoma patients, said Philip Ngai, MD, glaucoma specialist at San Gabriel Valley Eye Group.
