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
