Executive Summary

The Slate Scan Ultrasonic A-Scan Biometer from Care Group is a state-of-the-art, precision ophthalmic diagnostic device designed for accurate measurement of the human eye. It is an essential tool for ophthalmologists and optometrists, primarily used for calculating the power of intraocular lenses (IOLs) to be implanted during cataract surgery. The device exemplifies reliability, user-friendliness, and clinical accuracy, making it a trusted choice in modern eye care practices.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

1. Core Measurement Capabilities:

• Axial Length (AL): Precisely measures the length from the cornea to the retina using A-Scan ultrasonography.

• Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD): Measures the depth of the anterior chamber of the eye.

• Lens Thickness (LT): Provides accurate measurement of the natural or artificial lens thickness.

• IOL Power Calculation: Integrates all measured data with built-in IOL formulas (e.g., SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay, Haigis) to recommend the optimal intraocular lens power.

2. Advanced Technology & Performance:

• A-Scan Ultrasonography: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves for reliable and direct measurements, independent of patient cooperation for fixation (ideal for patients with dense cataracts or other media opacities).

• High-Resolution Display: Features a clear, easy-to-read screen for real-time display of waveforms and measurement values.

• Immersion & Contact Techniques: Supports both immersion (using a saline-filled scleral shell) and contact (probe-to-cornea) techniques, offering flexibility to the practitioner. Immersion technique is often considered the gold standard for superior accuracy.

• Built-in IOL Database: Includes a comprehensive database of IOL constants from major manufacturers for seamless calculations.

3. User Interface & Data Management:

• Intuitive Operation: Designed with a straightforward interface, allowing for quick patient setup and measurement.

• Data Storage & Recall: Capable of storing patient data and corresponding scan results for future reference and comparison.

• Printing Functionality: Connects to a compatible printer for generating immediate, detailed reports for patient records and surgical planning.

4. Physical Design & Construction:

• Ergonomic Probe: Lightweight and ergonomically designed probe for ease of use and reduced operator fatigue.

• Robust Build: Housed in a durable casing suitable for the clinical environment.

• Compact Footprint: Designed to save valuable space in the examination room.

Intended Use & Applications

The primary application of the Slate Scan A-Scan Biometer is in cataract surgery planning. Its specific uses include:

• Pre-operative Cataract Evaluation: Precisely calculating the power of the IOL to be implanted.

• Diagnosis and Management of Other Ocular Conditions: Such as axial myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and assessment of certain tumors.

• Pediatric Ophthalmology: Measuring axial length in children to monitor eye growth and manage conditions like congenital glaucoma.

• Post-operative Assessment: Verifying IOL position and power after surgery.

Target Audience

This device is an essential tool for:

• Ophthalmologists (especially cataract and refractive surgeons)

• Hospital Eye Departments

• Ambulatory Surgery Centers

• Specialized Optometry Practices
