Product Description: SLATE SCAN ULTRASONIC A-SCAN BIOMETER
Model:Â SLATE SCAN
Manufacturer/Brand:Â CARE GROUP
Serial Number:Â 009
Product ID:Â #14
Device Type:Â Ultrasonic A-Scan Biometer (A-Scan Biometry System)
Overview
The SLATE SCAN Ultrasonic A-Scan Biometer is a precision ophthalmic diagnostic device designed for accurate measurement of the human eye. It is an essential tool for ophthalmologists and optometrists, primarily used to calculate the power of an intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted during cataract surgery. By utilizing high-frequency A-scan ultrasound, it provides critical axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and lens thickness (LT) measurements.
This device, identified as SLATE SCAN from the CARE GROUP (SL No. 009, Product #14), represents a reliable and user-friendly solution for modern clinical practice.
Key Features
-
High-Precision A-Scan Biometry:
