Haag-Streit Launches the Imaging Module 910 Slit Lamp

Haag-Streit announced the launch of the Imaging Module 910 slit lamp. The device is instantly ready by the turn of a knob and does not require using software. Haag-Streit says capturing images is equally easy—pressing the camera trigger button is all that it takes.

"The Imaging Module 910 is equipped with an improved camera sensor and superb optics. Smart features in the background, such as a performant auto-exposure mode and automatic aperture control, guarantee great illumination at all time. Additionally the image selection algorithm chooses the best image possible. The result is a striking image with every shot," according to a company news release.

The Imaging Module 910 can be used in different ways. In "standalone" mode, it stores images directly in the EMR system and no extra software is needed. When working in "EyeSuite mode," image editing and other features are available.

"By now, most eye care specialists appreciate the benefits of slit lamp documentation to record findings and educate patients. However, only a small fraction finds the current solutions completely satisfactory,” Frank Wenger, Head of Product Management, General Diagnostics, at Haag-Streit said in a company news release.

He added: “The success rate of conclusive images is often disappointing and spending more than a couple of seconds on image capturing is heavily disrupting to clinical workflows. As the leader in slit lamp imaging, we felt obliged to overcome these challenges, that’s why we designed the Imaging Module 910."
