Condition & Warranty
Used. This unit has been inspected and tested for power-up, touchscreen response, auto-alignment and image capture before listing. Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship.
⚠️ IMPORTANT — SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED: the RetinaVue 700 Imager works only with the Welch Allyn RetinaVue Network software. An active subscription, purchased separately from the manufacturer and billed per camera, per month, is required to save and send patient exams. Without registration, the camera runs only in Practice mode, which does not store images.
Welch Allyn RetinaVue 700 — Used Handheld Retinal Camera
The Welch Allyn RetinaVue 700 Imager is a handheld, non-mydriatic retinal camera built for diabetic retinal exams at the point of care. The Welch Allyn RetinaVue 700 automates the hardest part of fundus photography: it aligns to the pupil, focuses and captures on its own, so medical assistants and technicians can acquire gradable images with minimal training. Each capture receives an immediate on-screen quality score, so a retake happens while the patient is still in the chair.
With a 60° field of view and a 2.5 mm minimum pupil size, most adult patients can be imaged without dilation drops. The 5-megapixel sensor records 2592 × 1944 images that are reviewed on a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, and Wi-Fi connectivity sends exams to the RetinaVue Network without a dedicated laptop (subscription required). This used unit ships with its protective hard-shell case, ready for exam rooms, satellite clinics and mobile screening programs.
A study published through the National Library of Medicine describes a rural family medicine practice that used a RetinaVue 700 Imager to offer in-office diabetic retinal exams, with images sent to an ophthalmologist for interpretation, closing annual-exam quality-measure gaps for an underserved patient population.
Why Practices Choose the Welch Allyn RetinaVue 700
- Auto-alignment, auto-focus and auto-capture — the camera locates the pupil and fires on its own, reducing the operator skill needed for consistent images
- 60° field of view — a wider retinal view per image than the 45° field of typical tabletop non-mydriatic cameras
- 2.5 mm minimum pupil — images most patients through undilated pupils, saving drop and wait time
- Immediate image quality score — confirms readability before the patient leaves, supporting high gradable-image rates
- Wireless workflow — Wi-Fi and EMR connectivity for transferring orders, images and reports
- Truly portable — battery-powered handheld design that moves between exam rooms, sites and mobile units
- Hard-shell carrying case included — protects the optics and electronics during transport
