1. Executive Summary
The SLATE SCAN ULTRASONIC A-SCAN BIOMETER is a sophisticated, non-invasive ophthalmic diagnostic device designed for precise measurement of the human eye. It utilizes A-Scan (Amplitude Scan) ultrasonography to deliver highly accurate biometric data, which is critical for calculating the power of intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery. Manufactured by the Care Group, this device is a reliable tool for ophthalmologists to ensure optimal surgical outcomes.
2. Key Features & Technical Specifications
-
Technology:Â A-Scan Ultrasonography (Contact or Immersion method capable).
-
Primary Function:Â Ocular Biometry – measuring the axial length (front-to-back) of the eye.
-
Key Measurements:
-
Axial Length (AL):Â The primary measurement for IOL power calculation.
-
Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD):Â Depth of the space between the cornea and the iris.
-
Lens Thickness (LT):Â Thickness of the natural crystalline lens.
-
Vitreous Depth:Â Depth of the vitreous chamber.
-
-
Probe Frequency:Â Typically operates at a standard 10 MHz ultrasound probe for optimal tissue differentiation and resolution.
-
Display:Â High-resolution LCD screen that displays the A-scan waveform in real-time, allowing the operator to assess the quality and accuracy of the signal.
-
Data Management:
-
Built-in database for storing patient records and examination data.
-
Integrated IOL Power Calculation Formulas (e.g., SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay, Haigis).
-
Connectivity options (likely USB or RS-232) for data export to electronic medical records (EMR) or printers.
-
-
Ergonomics & Usability:
-
User-friendly software interface for efficient workflow.
-
Adjustable parameters for signal gain and velocity to account for different ocular media (aphakic, pseudophakic).
-
Footswitch for hands-free operation during measurements.
-
3. Intended Use & Applications
The SLATE SCAN A-SCAN BIOMETER is primarily used in ophthalmology clinics, hospitals, and ambulatory surgery centers for:
-
Pre-operative Cataract Surgery Planning:Â The primary application is to calculate the correct power of the IOL implant.
-
Diagnosis and Monitoring of other ocular conditions:
-
Assessing axial length in myopia (nearsightedness) and hyperopia (farsightedness).
-
Measuring tumor dimensions (e.g., intraocular melanomas).
-
Detecting and monitoring choroidal detachments or effusions.
-
Differentiating between certain types of retinal pathologies.
-
4. Target Audience (End-Users)
-
Ophthalmologists
-
Optometrists (in certain practice settings)
-
Certified Ophthalmic Technicians / Sonographers
-
Hospital and Clinic Procurement Departments
