Zeiss Cirrus 400 — Used Spectral-Domain HD-OCT with GPA and Windows 10

Why Practices Choose the Zeiss Cirrus 400
Most affordable Cirrus entry point — same Zeiss spectral-domain optics and Cirrus software platform as the 4000 and 5000 at the lowest price in the lineup; the most cost-effective way to access the Cirrus normative database and GPA analysis tools.
- 27,000 A-scans per second — spectral-domain OCT speed delivers high-resolution macular and optic disc imaging for the full Cirrus protocol suite with minimal motion artifact.
- Guided Progression Analysis (GPA) — serial RNFL comparison with statistical significance flags; the documentation standard for glaucoma change detection across all Cirrus models.
- Macular Cube 512×128 — dense macular sampling for retinal thickness mapping, AMD drusen analysis, and diabetic macular edema monitoring with the Cirrus normative reference.
- Optic Disc Cube 200×200 — full optic nerve head quantification with rim area, C/D ratio, and RNFL thickness map from the Cirrus normative database.
- Cirrus normative database — age-stratified RNFL and macular thickness normative values shared across all Cirrus models; data is fully consistent with any Cirrus 4000 or 5000 in the practice.
- Windows 10 updated — extended operating system life and continued software support; improved stability over older Windows XP/7 versions used in earlier Cirrus units.
Clinical Applications
- Glaucoma screening and progression monitoring — GPA-powered RNFL analysis with the Cirrus normative database; meets documentation requirements for glaucoma suspect management and co-management reporting.
- Macular disease management — retinal thickness maps for age-related macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema, epiretinal membrane, and central serous retinopathy.
- Optic nerve head documentation — quantified C/D ratio, rim area, and RNFL deviation map for ocular hypertension and glaucoma monitoring.
- First OCT for new practices — the Cirrus platform is the most widely used OCT in the US; the 400 lets practices establish Cirrus-based workflows at the entry-level price point.
- Second imaging lane overflow — identical workflow to Cirrus 4000 and 5000; staff trained on any Cirrus model can use the 400 immediately without retraining.
Who This Is For
- Practices adding OCT for the first time — the Cirrus 400 delivers proven platform reliability and the most widely referenced normative database in glaucoma at the lowest acquisition cost.
- Optometry practices entering glaucoma co-management — GPA and the Cirrus normative database are accepted across major co-management frameworks; the 400 provides everything needed for RNFL-based documentation.
- Practices upgrading from time-domain OCT — the Cirrus 400 provides a meaningful resolution, speed, and analysis upgrade from Stratus OCT and similar time-domain instruments.
- High-volume practices adding a second OCT lane — same software workflow as the Cirrus 4000 and 5000; identical normative comparisons across instruments in the practice.
- Budget-conscious buyers who want Cirrus reliability — the 400 shares the same Zeiss imaging architecture as the higher-tier Cirrus models at roughly $4,000 less than the Cirrus 4000.
