OIS (Ophthalmic Imaging Systems)
New Multi-Modality, Portable Imaging Device To Help Physicians Deliver Better Care
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – October 1, 2009 -- OIS (Ophthalmic Imaging Systems) today
announced plans to launch the OIS EyeScan(TM) at the 2009 Annual Meeting of the
American Academy of Ophthalmology. The OIS EyeScan is a multi-modality, portable
imaging device that will revolutionize the way that ophthalmologists screen and capture
diagnostic images by delivering a new level of flexibility, efficiency, and image quality
to the market. At launch, the OIS EyeScan will have six imaging modules including:
- Mydriatic Color
- Fluorescein Angiography
- Stereo Optic Nerve Head
- Red Reflex
- Corneal Fluorescence
- Tear Film Analyzer
- Imaging modules to be released post launch.
"We are excited about the possibilities that the OIS EyeScan will open up to eye care
professionals around the world." Commented Gil Allon, CEO of OIS "With the OIS
EyeScan, we are aiming to help physicians obtain high-quality diagnostic images from
every one of their patients by eliminating the financial and physical constraints posed by large, single location and single modality devices."
The OIS EyeScan is a portable diagnostic imaging device capable of being used from its
own custom chin rest and base, a slit lamp adapter, or as a hand-held unit. This flexibility will enable physicians to capture images on patients who previously could not physically be imaged on traditional cameras - as well as minimize the footprint within the practice.
Each of the OIS EyeScan imaging modules capture 5.3 megapixel images and use a
proprietary LED illumination system. This highly advanced digital architecture will
deliver consistent results with even novice photographers.
The OIS EyeScan is patent protected, uses the market leading OIS WinStation(TM) capture
software, and is fully integrated with the OIS Symphony(TM) Image Management System.
"Prior to the OIS EyeScan, this level of image management integration, and software
refinement had never been available in a portable device before." commented Brad Yates,
Director of Product Management at OIS, "With the OIS EyeScan, practices will no longer
be forced to decide between a space-efficient portable device, and a feature rich device - they can now have both."
