FEATURES
- Replaces back-lit ETDRS illuminated cabinets with automated protocol for greater accuracy and reliability
- Each presentation is randomized thereby eliminating the memorization effect and is consistent and repeatable
- Background luminance is carefully calibrated to 85 cd/m2 for standardized ANSI and ISO testing or any other background luminance from 80 to 320 cd/m2 or as required for a study
- Calibrate the system in meters at virtually any distance; is adjustable and precise to within 1 cm
- Forced calibration compliance prior to each subject test
- Eliminates technician bias and erroneous data collection; streamlines test results
- Eliminates manual recording and collection and dissemination of associated data
- Does not require a separate research or study room within the practice
- Significantly reduces data collection expense
- Saves space, no big bulky cabinet to wheel in, out, or store when not in use
- Published and peer reviewed American Journal of Ophthalmology, February, 2003
USE & OPERATION
- The system is controlled by a high resolution tablet via a standard Bluetooth connection utilizing our CustomLink® technology
- The testing mechanism interfaces seamlessly with CTS (Clinical Trial Suite) to allow the technician to follow the protocol as determined by the sponsor
- The protocol displays a single letter surrounded by crowding bars to simulate the crowding effect
- The subject responds accordingly and the technician simply inputs “correct” or “incorrect” which is followed by a prompt of “are you sure”, allowing the technician to re-enter if a mistake was made
- The chart then randomizes, displays another optotype and continues through the algorithm until VA threshold is established
- When the test is complete the results are reported in the standard ETDRS Letter Score, Visual Acuity equivalent and logMAR equivalent
