Executive Summary

The SLATE SCAN Ultrasonic A-Scan Biometer is a state-of-the-art, portable diagnostic device designed for precise and reliable ocular biometry. 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. Manufactured under the CARE GROUP brand, this device exemplifies a commitment to clinical accuracy, user-friendly operation, and robust patient care.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

1. Core Technology:

• A-Scan Ultrasonography: Utilizes high-frequency sound waves to accurately measure the axial length of the eye—the distance from the cornea to the retina. This is the most critical parameter for IOL power calculation.

• Immersion and Contact Techniques: Supports both immersion (using a saline-filled scleral shell) and contact (direct probe-to-cornea) measurement methods, providing flexibility to the practitioner based on patient condition and clinical preference. The immersion technique is often considered the gold standard for maximum accuracy.

2. Measurement Parameters:
The device is capable of measuring and calculating the following key ocular dimensions:

• Axial Length (AL): The primary measurement for IOL calculations.

• Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD): Depth of the space between the cornea and the iris.

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

• Vitreous Depth:

• IOL Power Calculation: Integrated with various IOL calculation formulas (e.g., SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay, Haigis) to recommend the optimal lens power for emmetropia (normal vision) post-surgery.

3. Display and Interface:

• High-Resolution Display: Features a clear, easy-to-read screen that displays the A-scan waveform and all numerical data simultaneously.

• Intuitive Keypad/Interface: Simple controls for easy operation, allowing for quick patient setup, measurement, and data review.

• Waveform Quality Display: The A-scan waveform is displayed in real-time, enabling the operator to ensure proper alignment and signal quality for the most accurate results.

4. Data Management:

• Internal Memory: Capable of storing a significant number of patient records with associated measurements.

• Data Export: Likely includes connectivity options (e.g., USB, RS-232) for transferring patient data to an external computer or printer for record-keeping and surgical planning.

5. Design and Build:

• Portable and Compact: Its design makes it suitable for use in various clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and mobile eye camps.

• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of daily use in a medical environment.

• Probe: Comes with a specialized, ergonomic ultrasonic probe designed for patient comfort and precise application.

Primary Applications & Uses

• Cataract Surgery Planning: The primary use is for precise IOL power calculation to achieve the desired post-operative refractive outcome.

• Diagnosis of Ophthalmic Conditions: Used in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as:

  • Axial Myopia (nearsightedness) and Hyperopia (farsightedness)

  • Choroidal Tumors

  • Retinal Detachments

• Pre-Operative Assessment for Phakic IOLs: Measuring anterior chamber depth for implants used to correct high refractive errors.

• General Ocular Biometry: For routine eye examinations where precise anatomical dimensions are required.

Target Audience

• Ophthalmologists (especially cataract and refractive surgeons)

• Hospital Eye Departments

• Ambulatory Surgical Centers

• Optometry Clinics with a focus on co-management of surgical patients
