Description
The Plusoptix S12C Mobile Vision Screener is a modern device. It quickly and accurately finds common vision problems in patients of all ages.
This portable screener makes vision screening easier. Useful for both local clinics and global healthcare facilities. It also improves patient care around the world.
The designers created the Plusoptix S12C Mobile Vision Screener for use in different exam rooms. You can also use it in various locations. You can document measurement results electronically or on paper.
Plusoptix vision screeners help check for vision problems in children. They can find issues like refractive error, anisocoria, and strabismus.
These screenings can start for kids as young as 6 months old. Because they are so easy to use, pediatricians and school nurses use them alike.
You can perform vision screening on any child. The only requirement is for the child to look at the camera briefly. A specially designed sound target, called a “warble” sound, provokes this fixation.
Key Features
- Designed to be used at different locations within the same building (optional carrying case is available)
- Runs on rechargeable, standard AA size batteries (operational while charging)
- Provides in-built patient database for up to 100,000 entries for follow-up management and studies
- Saves screening reports to SD card
- Can be connected to a DHCP network server using a WLAN connection for CSV data exchange (EMR) and screening report printing
- Prints self-adhesive labels for documentation in paper records (optional printer required)
- One year hassle-free warranty and continual free software updates
- Award-winning child-friendly design
Plusoptix Screening Devices
The Plusoptix S12 range of devices detects refractive errors and eye misalignment, which are the most common causes of amblyopia (lazy eye).
Measurements are non-invasive, requiring no physical contact with the child. A sound target attracts fixation, and no further cooperation is required to perform a measurement.
Features
- Binocular readings
- Measurement results are compared to age specific thresholds and a “Pass” or “Refer” vision screening result is displayed.
- Measurement from 1m distance to the child
- Measurement in less than one second
- Can be used in undilated pupils
- Fully automated function
- Children can be measured starting at 6 months of age
- Measurement is delegable and can easily be performed by a trained assistant
- Child friendly design
- Possibility to measure over glasses and contact lenses
The measuring principle is based on eccentric photoretinoscopy: infrared light is projected through the pupils onto the retina. The reflected light forms a specific brightness pattern within the pupil depending on the refractive error. The spherical refraction is calculated based on this crescent pattern.
To determine cylinder and axis, the exact measurement is repeated in three meridians. The measurement with infrared light is entirely innocuous. Infrared light is also contained in daylight and not visible.
Screening Results
Plusoptix vision screening devices provide reliable measurement values of:
With these measurement values it is possible to detect the following most prevalent childhood vision disorders that may lead to the development of amblyopia (lazy eye) including:
With the determined measurement values compared to age specific thresholds, a “Pass” or “Refer” vision screening result is displayed. Children with a “Refer” result must be sent to an eye care professional for an eye examination.
