• Model/Serial Number: SL NO. 013 #13

• Device Type: A-Scan Biometer / Ophthalmic Ultrasound System

Executive Summary

The SLATE SCAN is a compact, reliable, and user-friendly A-Scan Biometer designed for precise ocular measurements in ophthalmic practice. It utilizes high-frequency ultrasound to accurately calculate the power of an intraocular lens (IOL) required for cataract surgery. Manufactured by the CARE GROUP, this device is an essential tool for ophthalmologists to achieve optimal post-operative visual outcomes for their patients.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

1. Core Measurement Capabilities:

• Axial Length (AL): Measures the length of the eye from the cornea to the retina with high precision. This is the most critical measurement for IOL power calculation.

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

• Lens Thickness (LT): Measures the thickness of the natural crystalline lens.

• Automated IOL Power Calculation: The device comes pre-loaded with multiple, modern IOL calculation formulas (e.g., SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay, Haigis) to suit various eye types and surgeon preferences.

2. User Interface & Operation:

• Simple, Intuitive Interface: Designed for efficiency in a busy clinical setting.

• Automated and Manual Modes: Allows for fully automated measurements for speed, as well as manual mode for experienced users to fine-tune results in difficult cases.

• Clear Signal Display: The A-scan waveform is displayed on the screen, allowing the operator to verify the quality and accuracy of each measurement.

3. Data Management:

• Integrated Data Storage: Capable of storing thousands of patient records with examination data.

• Print Functionality: Features a built-in thermal printer for generating instant, clear reports for patient records and surgical planning.

• Patient Database: Easy search, review, and management of patient history.

4. Design & Construction:

• Compact and Portable: Its design saves valuable space in the examination room.

• Robust Build Quality: Ensures durability and a long operational life.

• Ergonomic Probe: The ultrasound probe is designed for patient comfort and ease of use by the technician.

5. Technical Specifications (Typical for this class of device):

• Measurement Principle: A-Scan Ultrasonography (Immersion or Contact technique capable).

• Transducer Frequency: Typically 10 MHz for optimal resolution and penetration.

• Measurement Range (Axial Length): Approx. 14mm to 40mm.

• Resolution: High resolution for accurate differentiation of ocular interfaces.

• Power Supply: Standard AC power supply.

Intended Use & Applications

The primary use of the SLATE SCAN A-Scan Biometer is for biometry—the process of measuring the eye’s dimensions to determine the correct power of an intraocular lens (IOL) to be implanted during cataract surgery.

Primary Applications:

• Pre-operative planning for cataract surgery.

• Screening and diagnosis in conjunction with other ophthalmic tests.

• Monitoring axial length growth in pediatric ophthalmology (e.g., for myopia progression).

Target Audience

• Ophthalmologists

• Hospitals and Eye Clinics

• Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs)

• Optometrists (for co-management or diagnostic purposes)
