Zeiss Cirrus 5000 OCT — Refurbished HD-OCT with GPA and Ganglion Cell Analysis
The Zeiss Cirrus 5000 is the fastest structural OCT in the Cirrus lineup — delivering 68,000 A-scans per second acquisition speed, 5-micron axial resolution, and a full suite of advanced analysis tools including GPA glaucoma progression analysis, Ganglion Cell Analysis, and Advanced RPE Analysis in a single instrument. This refurbished Zeiss Cirrus 5000 HD-OCT has been fully inspected and verified to factory specifications, giving practices access to Zeiss’s clinical reference platform for glaucoma and retina imaging at significantly below new pricing. The Cirrus 5000’s FastTrac™ retinal tracking reduces motion artifact without sacrificing throughput — enabling precise scan-to-scan comparison for progression monitoring.
Research published by the National Library of Medicine confirms that the Cirrus HD-OCT normative database provides validated probability codes for RNFL assessment — the same reference dataset used in the Zeiss Cirrus 5000’s GPA and RNFL thickness reports that drive glaucoma management decisions in clinical practice.
Why Practices Choose the Zeiss Cirrus 5000 HD-OCT
- 68,000 A-scans per second — high-speed acquisition with FastTrac™ retinal tracking minimizes motion artifact in macular and disc cubes; significantly faster than the Cirrus 400/4000 at 27,000 A-scans/sec
- 5-micron axial resolution at 840 nm — resolves individual retinal layers for RNFL thinning detection, GCC mapping, and structural AMD progression monitoring
- Guided Progression Analysis (GPA) — detects statistically significant RNFL thinning between serial scans and generates summary progression reports for documentation and referral
- Ganglion Cell Analysis (GCA) — maps the macular ganglion cell and inner plexiform layer complex; detects glaucoma earlier in some patients than RNFL alone
- Advanced RPE Analysis — tracks retinal pigment epithelial integrity over time; enables precise assessment of change in AMD and other macular pathology
- Full protocol suite — Macular Cube 512×128, Optic Disc Cube 200×200, HD 5-Line Raster, Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI), and anterior segment protocols built in
- Cirrus normative database — age-stratified RNFL and GCC normative values from the most-cited Cirrus reference dataset in published glaucoma research
Clinical Applications
- Glaucoma progression monitoring — GPA identifies statistically significant RNFL thinning between visits; supported by the Cirrus normative database validated in peer-reviewed glaucoma literature
- Macular disease surveillance — AMD, DME, ERM, and vascular occlusion imaging at 68,000 A-scans/sec with high-resolution B-scans and RPE change analysis
- Optic disc documentation — Optic Disc Cube 200×200 captures full disc and peripapillary RNFL in one acquisition; disc parameters for baseline and follow-up reporting
- Pre- and post-operative evaluation — macular thickness maps and RNFL status for cataract, vitreoretinal, and glaucoma surgical planning and outcomes tracking
- Anterior segment imaging — optional anterior segment lens enables cornea, angle, and lens imaging without a separate instrument
Who This Is For
- Glaucoma specialists — GPA and GCA provide statistically validated progression tracking; the Cirrus platform is the reference device for most long-term glaucoma studies
- Retina practices — 68,000 A-scan speed and Advanced RPE Analysis support AMD, DME, and vascular occlusion workflows with precise longitudinal change detection
- Comprehensive ophthalmology practices — single instrument covers macular screening, RNFL analysis, and optic disc documentation for the full patient panel
- Practices upgrading from Cirrus 400/4000 — same familiar Cirrus workflow and software, meaningfully faster acquisition, GCA and FastTrac added
- Optometry groups entering glaucoma co-management — GPA and the Cirrus normative database provide the clinical documentation required for co-management reporting
