Description
CLARUS 500 from ZEISS HD Ultra-widefield Fundus Imaging
Compromising image quality may leave some pathology unseen.
Signs of early disease are often subtle and can occur in the far periphery of the retina. Widefield imaging has shown to reveal more pathology than standard fields and allows for more thorough documentation and detection of peripheral retinal pathology. However, traditional fundus imaging remains the standard for macular and optic nerve diagnosis and documentation.
CLARUS 500 is the next generation, ultra-widefield fundus imaging system from ZEISS that provides true color and high-resolution across an ultra-wide image.
Manage your patients with confidence:
• COLOR. Capture True Color to aid in differential diagnosis
• CLARITY. See high-resolution details from the posterior pole to the periphery
• COMFORT. Create a comfortable patient experience that ensures image integrity
ZEISS CLARUS 500 captures clear Ultra-widefield images (200°-267°) and accurate images from the macula to the far periphery. Early indications of disease can often be subtle and difficult to see through direct observation or low-resolution fundus imaging. Leveraging ZEISS optics, ZEISS CLARUS 500 is an ultra-widefield retinal camera that captures a high-resolution image down to 7 microns and generates images that closely resemble the coloration of the fundus as seen during clinical examination.
The advent of widefield retinal imaging has shown us that indications of disease are often located in the far periphery of the retina. CLARUS 500 is the next-generation fundus imaging system from ZEISS that delivers true color and high resolution across an entire ultra-widefield image.
The CLARUS 500 allows clinicians to track subtle changes in pathology over time. In addition to true color imaging, it also captures high resolution fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images–FAF-Blue and FAF-Green–and Infrared (IR) and external eye images. Along with an intuitive review software, the ultra-high-resolution of this next-generation retinal camera from ZEISS allows clinicians to manage change with confidence.
True Color:
Aids in diagnosis and documentation
CLARUS 500, the newest ultra-widefield retinal camera from ZEISS, allows clinicians to use color to their diagnostic advantage. It also generates images that closely resemble the coloration of the fundus as seen during clinical examination. Color fundus imaging can aid in the diagnosis and documentation of ocular disease, ensuing confidence when evaluating the optic disc, nevi and lesions where color is important.
Clarity:
From the macula to the periphery with ONE system
Legacy ultra-widefield imaging systems require doctors to maintain a traditional high-resolution fundus camera for optic nerve and macular disease diagnosis and management. CLARUS 500 from ZEISS is the first fundus imaging system to provide true color and clarity within an ultra-wide field of view, enabling clinicians to capture high-resolution fundus images from macula to the far periphery.
Comfort:
For a satisfying patient experience that ensures image integrity
Simple, Stable and intuitive, ZEISS CLARUS 500 is an ultra-widefield retinal camera that has been purposefully designed to optimize each patient’s experience. By bringing the optics to the patient, ZEISS CLARUS 500 helps create a comfortable, satisfying patient experience that provides images free of obstructions, such as lids and lashes, and requires fewer recaptures. A stable and neutral head and chin rest brings the optics to the patient, facilitating an easier and more comfortable scan. The ability to swivel the device between the right and left eye helps technicians capture a high-quality image without realigning the patient.
Color and clarity to guide your decisions.
With ZEISS CLARUS 500, meet the fundus imaging needs of a range of patients.
See images that closely resemble the coloration of the fundus as seen during clinical examination.
• Color accuracy is important for the diagnosis and documentation of ocular disease
• All True Color images can be separated into red, green and blue channel images to help enhance the visual contrast of details in certain layers of the retina In addition, a complete fundus autofluorescence solution allows clinicians to visualize lipofuscin fluorescence in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), an indicator of RPE health.
Capture clear and accurate images from the macula to the far periphery.
• Leveraging ZEISS optics, CLARUS 500 captures a high-resolution ultra-widefield image down to 7 microns
• Ultra-high resolution, along with an intuitive review software, allows clinicians to track subtle changes in pathology as well as view, compare and annotate images
