iCare EIDON UWF Ultra Wide Field Confocal Scanner

iCare EIDON is the first TrueColor Confocal system. It combines the best features of Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and standard fundus imaging. This sets new performance standards in retinal imaging.

The ideal retinal imaging system offers TrueColor and wide-field views across multiple imaging modalities. iCare EIDON provides excellent image quality. It gives a unique, live, confocal view of the retina without needing dilation.

I have absolutely loved using the EIDON UWF Module (1). It has two main benefits over the standard EIDON. The EIDON was already better than any other fundus camera I have used.

First, Ultra-Widefield gives me a larger field of view than before.

With a single shot, I can capture an image at 120 degrees. I can even capture up to 200 degrees using the mosaic feature. This lets me see everything I need in one take for most of my patients.

The EIDON UWF Module has very precise focusing technology. This allows me to capture high-definition images through pupils as small as 2.5 mm. I need to dilate fewer pupils, which is a benefit for both me and my patients.

iCare EIDON uses advanced confocal technology. It provides sharper images, better optical resolution, and more detail. This improves contrast and enhances retinal diagnostics.

The iCare EIDON has an easy-to-use interface and patient-friendly features. This makes it a valuable and efficient tool in any clinical setting.

Key features

• Multiple imaging modalities including TrueColor, blue, red and Red-Free and infrared confocal images
• Widefield, ultra-high-resolution imaging
• Capability to image through cataract and media opacities
• Dilation-free operation (minimum pupil 2.5 mm)
• Flexibility of fully automated and fully manual mode
• All-in-one compact design, no additional PC required

200° Ultra-widefield details in high definition

iCare EIDON’s ultra-widefield optics provide a field of view from 120° to 200°. This allows imaging of both the central retina and the periphery.

iCare’s TrueColor confocal technology is important for ultra-widefield imaging. It helps improve the detection, analyzing, and monitoring of problems in the retina’s periphery. The iCare EIDON’s Ultra-widefield feature keeps images sharp and clear, even at the edges. This helps with better and earlier diagnosis.

Harnessing the power of confocal imaging

Confocal imaging is a standard in excellent image quality. Better than regular fundus photography.

It blocks light that bounces back from outside the retina. This results in clearer images with sharper details, improved optical resolution, and enhanced contrast. It maintains high image quality, even with media opacities like cataracts. It can also work with pupils as small as 2.5mm without needing dilation.

TrueColor retinal images for unsurpassed quality

iCare EIDON uses white light LED to provide TrueColor imaging with no distortion and superior color fidelity. Using white light LED, the retina looks the same as when we see it directly. This is because the entire visible spectrum is captured in the image.

iCare EIDON TrueColor can facilitate the diagnosis and monitoring of retinal diseases and improve retinal diagnostics capabilities. A clinical study found that iCare EIDON gives better color images. It shows a wider range of colors than a regular flash fundus camera. The overall higher chromaticity of iCare EIDON may provide benefits in terms of discriminative power and diagnostic accuracy.

Multiple imaging modalities for a complete picture

iCare EIDON provides crisp and sharp wide-field images that accurately represent the retina’s actual appearance across multiple imaging modalities. White LED lights give high-quality TrueColor images. Red-free filtering helps us see the retina’s blood vessels better.

Blue images improve the view of the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL). The red channel lets light reach the deeper layers of the retina. Infrared light provides detailed information corresponding to the choroid.

Fully automated, comfortable and easy-to-use experience

iCare EIDON lets you switch between fully automatic and fully manual operations. It has features like auto-alignment, auto-focus, auto-exposure, auto-capture, and auto-mosaic. iCare EIDON is simple to use.

It needs little staff training. This can speed up exam times and improve patient flow. The iCare EIDON has a comfortable, motorized chin rest. It uses a soft flash and does not require dilation. This enhances the patient experience.

Connectivity, anytime and anywhere

iCare EIDON multi-touch tablet makes magnification and review easy. The remote viewer feature enables easy data review from anywhere. Any computer or laptop on the same local area network (LAN) can access iCare EIDON images. This allows for data access and detailed analysis at multiple review stations.
