Condition & Warranty
Refurbished. This Zeiss Cirrus 5000 is a refurbished hardware Revision 1 unit running Windows 10. Please note that this Rev 1 unit cannot be upgraded to AngioPlex OCT angiography — it is a structural OCT. Covered by a 6-month warranty on parts and workmanship.
Zeiss Cirrus 5000 HD-OCT — Refurbished Spectral-Domain OCT
The Zeiss Cirrus 5000 is the FastTrac™-equipped model of the Cirrus HD-OCT family. It combines 27,000 A-scans per second spectral-domain imaging at 840 nm and 5 µm axial resolution with FastTrac retinal tracking, which uses a 20 Hz line-scanning ophthalmoscope to reduce eye-motion artifacts and re-scan the same location at each visit. This refurbished Zeiss Cirrus 5000 includes the core Cirrus analysis suite — Guided Progression Analysis, Ganglion Cell Analysis and Advanced RPE Analysis — and ships with an electric table and a Windows 10 computer. For practices that already use Cirrus data, the Zeiss Cirrus 5000 keeps baselines and progression reports on the same platform.
Research indexed by the National Library of Medicine examined patterns of progressive ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer thinning in glaucoma detected by OCT — the type of serial macular analysis the Cirrus 5000 performs with Ganglion Cell Analysis and GPA.
Why Practices Choose the Zeiss Cirrus 5000
- FastTrac™ retinal tracking — a 20 Hz LSO and single-pass alignment scanning reduce motion artifacts without slowing patient flow; this is the main hardware step up from the Cirrus 500
- Guided Progression Analysis (GPA™) — flags statistically significant RNFL and ganglion cell change across serial visits for glaucoma follow-up
- Ganglion Cell Analysis — maps the macular ganglion cell–inner plexiform layer, a structural marker that complements RNFL analysis in glaucoma
- Advanced RPE Analysis — measures and tracks RPE elevation and sub-RPE changes for AMD follow-up
- Dense data cubes — tightly spaced B-scans (30 or 47 µm apart) help image small areas of pathology
- 5 µm axial resolution at 840 nm — clear layer separation for macular thickness maps and change analysis
- Anterior segment ready — anterior imaging is available with the optional Cirrus anterior segment lens kit

Clinical Applications
- Glaucoma diagnosis and progression — RNFL, optic nerve head and ganglion cell analysis with GPA for serial comparison
- AMD monitoring — Advanced RPE Analysis and macular thickness change maps between visits
- Diabetic macular edema — macular thickness maps to document edema and treatment response
- Vitreomacular interface disease — high-resolution B-scans of epiretinal membranes, macular holes and traction
- Pre- and post-operative documentation — macular status before and after cataract and retinal surgery
Who This Is For
- Glaucoma and comprehensive ophthalmology practices — GPA and Ganglion Cell Analysis for structured progression follow-up
- Retina practices — macular thickness, change analysis and Advanced RPE Analysis for AMD and DME
- Optometry practices adding OCT for glaucoma co-management and macular screening
- Cirrus 400/4000/500 owners who want FastTrac and keep their Cirrus data on the same platform
- Practices that do not need OCT angiography and want a structural Cirrus 5000 below the cost of an AngioPlex system
