| Regulation Description |
Strabismus detection device. |
| Definition |
For the automated detection of misalignment of the visual axes for prescription use only. |
| Physical State |
Hardware components are integrated in a housing (e.g., plastic enclosure), which includes the image acquisition optics, the system computer and visual display. User input is limited to only basic device function, such as: “Background” button for background measurements and “Measure” button to perform the measurement of the patient. Device output is conveyed to the operator through LED indicator lights on the surface of the instrument. The device is designed as a non-contact device and is AC powered. |
| Technical Method |
Includes a laser diode (Scanning Laser) that emits a beam of polarized laser light onto the retina based on the principle of retinal birefringence scanning (birefringent nerve fibers that surround the fovea change the polarization state of reflected light). A separate laser diode (Rangefinder light) assists the operator to determine the correct distance of the device from the patient. The patient fixates on a fixation target LED. Photo sensors detect the polarization characteristics of reflected laser light from the fovea. A software algorithm is used to determine whether central fixation is present in both eyes (“Not Refer”), or in only one eye (“Refer”). |
| Target Area |
The target area is the eye. |
