Topcon NW500 Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera arrives in Australia

Must read

Device Technologies is now supplying the latest device from Topcon Healthcare, the NW500 non-mydriatic retinal camera, to the Australian ophthalmic market.

The NW500 is said to offer clinical businesses comprehensive features that make it a significant asset for busy clinics.

“The user-friendly fundus camera is fully automated, meaning a single button touch initiates alignment, focus and capture process. The simplicity of use gives clinicians the option to confidently delegate screening to staff, thereby offering opportunities to enhance the clinical workflow,” Device Technologies stated.

Topcon Healthcare suggests that the new system design can increase workflow, with striking images easily captured by any staff member.

The 12-megapixel image sensor delivers sharp and consistent images, while the slit scan illumination and rolling shutter mechanism further enhance the NW500’s image quality, enabling the camera to overcome the issue of images unsuitable for grading, thereby streamlining the diagnostic workflow. Even in well-lit conditions, the NW500 can deliver images with less flare and shadow than its predecessor, the TRC-NW400.

“Adding to the image quality offered by the NW500 is its ability to provide clinicians with 50-degree imaging across the three traditional fixation positions (disc, centre, and macula). The peripheral photography mode allows further fixation points in the traditional nine directions of gaze,” Device Technologies said.

“The NW500 represents a significant opportunity for clinical businesses, delivering innovative technology that enhances diagnostic imaging and streamlines the imaging process.”
