BQ 900 Slit Lamp: Detailed Eye Examination with Precision and Versatility
The BQ 900 slit lamp stands as a testament to the crucial role that the optical system plays in determining the efficacy of any application it is utilized for. At the core of the BQ 900 lies an intricately designed optical system, meticulously crafted to meet the highest quality standards. This results in an unparalleled visual experience, providing clinicians with a clear and precise view necessary for accurate diagnostics, safe patient treatment, and remarkable imaging outcomes.
In addition to its exceptional functionality, the BQ 900 slit lamp is designed with ergonomic considerations to promote comfortable and fatigue-free working conditions for clinicians. The inclined eyepiece adaptor tilts the view into the microscope at a 20-degree angle to the horizontal, allowing examiners to use the slit lamp in a more relaxed position, reducing strain during prolonged examinations.
Furthermore, the BQ 900 incorporates unique features to enhance the view of the fundus, such as the stereo variator. This innovative component reduces the angle of stereoscopic observation from 13° to 4.5°, facilitating detailed examination of the fundus, peripheral retina, and vitreous. Even under challenging conditions like high myopia and small pupils, the reduced angle expands the stereoscopic field of view, ensuring depth information is preserved for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Analog co-observing is a valuable feature of Haag-Streit's slit lamps, allowing professional colleagues, students, or technicians to actively participate in examinations. The second observer tubes are specifically designed to accommodate this function, with two versions available: a short version for co-observing in a sitting position and a long version for co-observing in an upright position. This feature promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing during clinical assessments, enhancing the educational and diagnostic capabilities of the slit lamp system.
Another noteworthy enhancement offered by the BQ 900 slit lamp is fluorescence enhancement, facilitated by a yellow barrier filter. This filter adds contrast to fluorescein images, aiding clinicians in detecting subtle changes or abnormalities in ocular tissues. Easily mountable on the slit lamp, the filter can be inserted or removed as needed, providing flexibility and convenience during examinations.
Moreover, the EyeSuite software is seamlessly integrated with the BQ 900 slit lamp, optimizing patient flow in busy clinical settings. Compatible with Haag-Streit imaging solutions, this software enables network connectivity between the slit lamp and other Haag-Streit devices, as well as with the practice network. Notably, EyeSuite eliminates the need for proprietary third-party software for connectivity, simplifying the setup process.
By connecting the slit lamp to an EyeSuite server, clinicians gain remote access to all captured images from any viewing station linked to the same database. This remote accessibility enhances collaboration among healthcare professionals and facilitates comprehensive patient care, regardless of location.
Furthermore, the EyeSuite software offers extensive compatibility with electronic medical record (EMR) systems through standardized interfaces like GDT or DICOM. Patient orders received from the EMR system can be seamlessly integrated with the slit lamp workflow, ensuring efficient data management and streamlined documentation. Additionally, captured images are automatically transferred back to the EMR system, ensuring comprehensive patient records and facilitating continuity of care.
