Executive Summary

The SLATE SCAN Ultrasonic A-Scan Biometer by CARE GROUP is a state-of-the-art, non-invasive diagnostic device designed for precise ocular biometry. It is an essential tool for ophthalmologists and optometrists, providing critical axial length (AL) measurements necessary for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power prior to cataract surgery. Additionally, it functions as a highly accurate pachymeter for measuring corneal thickness, a key parameter in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma and for pre-operative screening for refractive surgery.

This device combines reliability, user-friendly operation, and high-precision results, making it a cornerstone of modern ophthalmic practice.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

1. Dual-Function Capability:

• A-Scan Biometry: Precisely measures the axial length of the eye from the cornea to the retina.

• Pachymetry: Accurately measures central corneal thickness (CCT).

2. Advanced Measurement Modes:

• Automatic Mode: The device automatically identifies and captures the optimal waveform, ensuring rapid and consistent measurements with minimal operator dependency. Ideal for routine screenings.

• Manual Mode: Provides full control to the operator for capturing waveforms in complex cases, such as with dense cataracts or staphylomas, allowing for expert interpretation.

3. High-Resolution Display & Intuitive Interface:

• Features a clear, high-resolution SLATE display that shows real-time A-scan waveforms, measurement values, and patient data simultaneously.

• User-friendly menu and keypad for easy navigation and data entry.

4. Comprehensive IOL Power Calculation:

• Integrated IOL Formulas: Comes pre-loaded with all major IOL calculation formulas (e.g., SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1 & 2, Haigis).

• IOL Constant Optimization: Allows surgeons to personalize and optimize A-constants based on their surgical outcomes for enhanced post-operative refractive results.

5. Precision & Data Management:

• High Accuracy: Utilizes a high-frequency ultrasound probe (typically 10 MHz) for micron-level precision in both axial length and pachymetry measurements.

• Built-in Data Storage: Capable of storing thousands of patient records with examination data for future reference and tracking.

• Data Export: Includes connectivity options (like USB or RS-232 port) to transfer patient data to an external computer or printer for reporting and inclusion in patient files.

6. Ergonomic & Durable Design:

• Compact and robust design suitable for any clinical setting.

• Lightweight and portable probe for comfortable handling during examinations.
