LAS VEGAS — Visionix introduced the VX 610 nonmydriatic automated fundus camera to attendees at Vision Expo West.
Features include auto alignment, focus and capture functions and a compact footprint, according to a company press release. Pupil dilation is not necessary with the instrument’s cross-polarized light technology.
Visionix distribution sales manager Justin Davidson told Healio that the space-saving instrument requires only a 2-mm pupil.
“And as opposed to using a chin rest, we use a forehead rest,” he said. “Darkness is key when you’re not dilated.”
Because the instrument is tablet-driven, technicians need not interact with the device itself, Davidson said.
“When you capture an image, you select the field you want on the tablet,” he said. “At the end it can stitch images together into a mosaic.”
According to the release, it has a 45-degree field of view and 90-degree mosaic function.
Davidson said the technology is telehealth-ready.
“It can export the JPEG or DICOM image and import it into any image management software or EMR,” he said.
The VX 610 offers comprehensive retinal screening capabilities, allowing practitioners to easily screen for diabetic retinopathy, the company said in the release.
“We’d love to get them in primary care clinics,” Davidson added.
Visionix also provides Optovue OCT/OCT-A, Visionix screening and refraction systems and Briot/Weco lens finishing equipment.
