M&S Technologies and Bruder Healthcare have announced the launch of the M&S Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer, an all-in-one device that captures and provides test results for dry eye disease in as little as 15 seconds per eye.
“With the system’s unmatched speed, accuracy and ease of use, doctors can manage dry eye patients more efficiently and effectively, improving outcomes through better data and boosting revenues through time savings,” Brent Jones, global head of vision care solutions at Hilco Vision, parent company of M&S Technologies and Bruder Healthcare, said in a company press release.
According to the release, the M&S Bruder Ocular Surface Analyzer (BOSA) consolidates multiple tests for dry eye in one device, offering a comprehensive solution in a single practice location. The device’s noninvasive tests include auto interferometry to measure lipid layer thickness, auto tear meniscus height measurement, auto tear breakup time and auto blink evaluation, all of which generate results in 15 seconds per eye.
Other tests that provide results in minutes include auto meibography, bulbar redness, fluorescein staining, lissamine green staining, pupillometry test and white to white test. The device also provides documentation for Demodex and blepharitis, the release stated.
In addition, BOSA enables providers to create customizable treatment plans for patients and saves test results from each session.
“BOSA provides a ready-made hub to help identify, quantify and rectify OSD — with recommended treatments tailored to each patient’s test results,” Paul Karpecki, OD, FAAO, of the Kentucky Eye Institute, said in the release.
