1 DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE
This manual explains the details of the function and method of application to make a good use
of the SOCT system. Before using the device, read this manual carefully to ensure that you
operate it efficiently and safely. Always keep this manual at hand for reference.
SOCT uses Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography method to obtain 3-dimensional
and cross-sectional images of the retina.
SOCT is an optical coherence tomography system indicated for the in vivo imaging and
measurement of the retina layers, retina nerve fiber layer, and optic nerve head as an aid in
the diagnosis and management of posterior segment diseases as well as imaging of anterior
segment structure. The device produces a light beam, which is focused on the human eye
tissue. The light that reflects from internal structures of an eye is then interferometrically
analyzed by the device. The raw data are processed by a PC to obtain images of eye tissue
cross-sections.
The SOCT contains features including: Retina Thickness, Optical Nerve Head, Retinal Nerve
Fiber Layer, Angle assessment, Cornea measurement, Blood vessels visualization, measuring
distances along the visual axis.
The SOCT software with optional OCT Angiography visualization functionality is indicated as
an aid in the visualization of vascular structures of the retina and choroid.
The SOCT software with optional Corneal Topography function is intended to measure and
visualize anterior and posterior corneal curvatures.
The SOCT software with optional OCT Biometry function is intended for biometric
measurements and visualization of ocular structures and performing IOL power calculations
based on the patient’s biometric data and a selection of recognized IOL calculation formulas.
REVO FC version allows non-contact biomicroscopic imaging that incorporates a high-
resolution digital camera for photographing, displaying and storing images of the retina and
surrounding parts of the eye to be examined under Mydriatic and non-Mydriatic conditions.
REVO FC version provides images which are display only and the device does not provide any
diagnostic, pathological analysis or classification of ocular health based on the acquired
images.
Intended use
The SOCT is intended for use as a diagnostic device to aid the detection and management of
ocular diseases, including but not limited to, age-related macular degeneration, macular holes,
diabetic retinopathy, macular edema and glaucoma.
With optional OCT Biometry software feature the device is intended to measure ocular
structure along the eye axis. It measures the following parameters: Axial Length (AL), Central
Corneal Thickness (CCT), Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD), Lens Thickness (LT), Pupil Diameter
13 / 387
(P), White-to-White distance (WTW). The measurement and visualization assist in the
determination of the appropriate power and type of intraocular lens.
With optional OCT Topography software feature the device is intended to quantify curvatures
of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea. It measures the following parameters:
Corneal curvature (K1 and K2 keratometry values), Cylindrical power (CYL) and Axis, Average
and Total corneal power (ACP and TCP), anterior and posterior power and Keratoconus
prediction index (KPI).
With optional OCT Angiography software feature the device is indicated as an aid in the
visualization of vascular structures of the retina and choroid.
FC version provides the images of the retina and external area of the eye and are intended for
use as an aid to clinicians in the evaluation, diagnosis and documentation of ocular health.
NOTE: The SOCT is not intended to be used as the sole diagnostic aid for disease
identification, classification and management. A patient diagnosis is the sole
domain of eye care clinician.

directly to the main power supply socket or to the dedicated supply socket in the
dedicated table.
WARNING: In situation when the cameras housing cover is removed, while

examining the patient, the system operator must not touch at the same time the
patient and uncovered parts of the device.
WARNING: Use an isolating transformer if non-medical external devices are located

within 1.5 meters from the patient (patient environment). If the non-medical
external devices are connected to the medical device and located outside the
36 / 387
patient environment, a separation device must be used in the system or there shall
be no electrical connection between the non-medical external devices and the
device.
WARNING: Ignoring or disregarding the statements above may lead to danger of

death or serious injury.
WARNING: The user should not rely solely on measurements made using the REVO
in making decisions regarding the treatment, calculation and implantation of IOL
lenses or other therapeutic procedures, but should rely on their own expertise and
judgment.
WARNING: The user is fully responsible for the verification of provided data using
to IOL implementation or any other medical procedure.
WARNING: The user is fully responsible for all values entered or changed
manually.
WARNING: The white-to-white distance value is merely an indirect measurement of

the inner lateral dimensions of the anterior ocular section. For this reason, it
provides only approximate indications of the actual inner lateral dimensions of the
anterior ocular section and of the size of the implant used.
Cautions
Cautions indicate hazards that, if not avoided, may result in property damage or injury.
CAUTION: This manual does not provide guidance on interpretation of clinical
results. The clinician must ensure that he or she has received appropriate medical
training in such interpretation. OPTOPOL Technology Sp. z o. o. cannot be held
responsible for misdiagnosis of results.
CAUTION: Do not use this instrument for purposes other than intended and
specified.
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician
or practitioner (CFR 801.109(b) (1)).
CAUTION: Before the first use, the device operator should be trained how to use
the system efficiently and safely.
CAUTION: Applicable Phototoxicity Statements (FDA CDRH Ophthalmologist

Guidance #71): Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina,
the use of the device for ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged.
While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for direct or indirect
ophthalmoscopes, it is recommended that the exposure time for the patient’s eye
37 / 387
be limited to the minimum time that is necessary for image acquisition. Infants,
aphakes, and persons with diseased eyes will be at greater risk. The risk may also
be increased if the person being examined has had any exposure with the same
instrument or any other ophthalmic instrument using a visible light source during
the previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye has been exposed to
retinal photography. This medical device has no user adjustable intensity settings
for light incident on the retina, nor does it produce UV radiation or short wavelength
blue light.
CAUTION: Be extremely cautious when examining high risk group of optical

radiation, patient without crystalline lens, infants and patient who is insensitive to
light for having ocular fundus disease with optical coherence topographer (OCT).
CAUTION: The SOCT weighs approximately 23 kg or 30 kg. It should be lifted by at

least two persons. Use only the indicated positions for lifting.
CAUTION: Be careful when mounting anterior adapter in order not to scratch the
objective lens.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the patient’s face away from the chin rest and forehead
rest when the Anterior Chamber Adapter is still attached. Otherwise, a patient may
be injured by the Anterior Segment Adapter making contact with him/her when the
scanning head moves in any direction.
CAUTION: DDLS scale bases on a publication by George L. Spaeth, MD in 2002, and

can only be treated as supplementary information and cannot be treated as disease
confirmation. Use for reference only.
CAUTION: KPI bases on a publication by Naoyuki Maeda in 1994*, and can only be
treated as supplementary information and cannot be treated as disease
CAUTION: Prior to the measurement, the user must verify that the patient is not
wearing contact lenses. Wearing contact lenses will result in erroneous measuring
results.
CAUTION: The wearing contact lenses (soft or hard) may have an effect on the
surface geometry of the cornea and thus the optics of the eye. Therefore, for
measurements conducted on wearers of contact lenses using SOCT topography
module, a rest period should be observed from the time the contact lens is removed
to the time of measurement. The required duration of the time from removal of the
lens to the time of measurement may vary individually and must be determined by
a qualified physician.
38 / 387
CAUTION: Use of eye drops prior to topography measurement may lead to
incorrect results in the measurement of corneal curvature. The use of tear drops
substitute may impact the measured keratometry values.
CAUTION: Calculation constants used in the IOL Calculation tab do not depend
solely on the IOL type and calculation formula used. They can also be influenced by
factors such as measurement technology and surgical technique which is why the
user is strongly advised to optimize the constants for their particular conditions and
practice.
CAUTION: While using an A-constant for IOL Calculations Remember that it is an

estimate and should only be used for reference if no better constants are available.
Use only IOL constants optimized for optical biometers.
CAUTION: The software for taking measurements and performing IOL calculations
must be operated only be appropriately trained and experienced staff with
knowledge suitable for interpreting the results. All members of the stuff must read
this user manual thoroughly, paying special attention to the safety related points
and instructions.
CAUTION: Do not perform any contact measurements or examinations in which

the eye is touched. They may result in incorrect readings, particularly for biometry
and corneal topography measurements. Contact measurements or examinations
should only be performed after the patient has been measured with the SOCT.
CAUTION In patients with strong nystagmus may not be possible to take a reliable
examination data.
CAUTION The measurements taken with REVO may serve as the central element
for the calculation of intraocular lenses (IOL). A further important parameter in
calculating the lens to be implanted is the IOL constant. When using the REVO
devices only IOL constants optimised for optical biometers should be used. Please
contact your IOL manufacturer for information on optimised IOL constants for
optical biometry.
CAUTION: Risk due to measuring errors. Unstable fixation can lead to measuring
errors and the calculation of incorrect IOL refractive powers. Check that the patient
fixates correctly on all the scan and the fovea is visible in the all tomograms. Repeat
the measurement in case of doubt or check the measuring results by using
alternative methods, if necessary.
39 / 387
CAUTION: In patients with morphological changes of the retinal anatomy in the
region of the fovea (e.g. retinal detachment, edema), the axial length measurement
result may be erroneous and thus is not usable or only of limited use for IOL
calculation. In case of retina segmentation errors user can do correction after
verification of the region of interest.
CAUTION: Correct detection of boundaries should be checked with particular care

during measurement, especially when measuring very long eyes, eyes with dense
cataracts, pseudophakic or aphakic eyes, eyes with any kind of pathology. Despite
various plausibility checks, measuring errors can be manually be excluded or
corrected in individual cases.
CAUTION: The IOL calculation is valid only if the biometric measurement was
correct, an appropriate IOL calculation formula was selected and the IOL constants
were optimized for the specific application in advance.
General notes
Please avoid the use of extension cords or a power strip.
IMPORTANT:
1. If the whole Medical System has been installed by Manufacturer of SOCT or Authorized
Personnel, the manufacturer guarantees correct installation and compliance with all
required standards and directives.
2. In case installation was made not by Manufacturer or Authorized Personnel, the
manufacturer of SOCT takes no responsibility for any problems or risks that could be
created by incorrect connection and violation of safety standards.
3. Understanding and following up of chapters 5 SOCT SOFTWARE, 6 PATIENT WINDOW,
7 EXAMINATION WINDOW, 8 CONDUCTING EXAMINATION and 9 RESULT REVIEW of
this manual as well as PC experience are sufficient for operation of the SOCT device.
4. Manufacturer of SOCT takes no responsibility for incorrect medical diagnosis of results
and takes no responsibility for the consequences of such incorrect medical diagnosis.
NOTE: OCT image is a plot of optical path length. Depending on the optical design
and scanning location, the image can be distorted from its actual physical shape. For
example, a relatively flat retinal OCT image might not reflect the true curvature of
the retina.
NOTE: The OCT image can be affected by the optical pathway, that is, by corneal
opacity, cataract or eye shape.
NOTE: The SOCT is a medical device. The software and hardware have been
designed in accordance with European, U.S. and other international medical device
40 / 387
design and manufacturing standards. Unauthorized modification of the system
software or hardware, or any addition or deletion of any application in any way, can
jeopardize the safety of operators and patients, the performance of the instrument,
and the integrity of patient data.
NOTE: Any changes, additions or deletions to factory installed applications, the

operating system, or modifications to hardware in any manner voids the warranty
completely and can cause safety hazards.
NOTE: Cornea Layers recognition is used for tracing.
NOTE: For Corneal topography scan fully examine the measured tomograms for
layer recognition and examination results. In particular, if the difference between
measurement values for the left and right eye is significant or any problem is found
in the anterior chamber during the preliminary examination, check the correctness
of layers recognition and/or reliability indices on the check screen. If the
measurement result is not conclusive, review the inspection result by performing
measurement again or performing another inspection.
NOTE: Allow only well-trained operators to use the instrument
NOTE: When using the data taken by this instrument to select intraocular lenses,
thoroughly determine the selection by also examining cataract surgery methods
and exercising other inspections. If incorrect measurement data is used to select
intraocular lenses, further surgery might be required
NOTE: When using corneal topography or biometry data taken by this instrument
for diagnosis or determination of treatment, proceed carefully by taking
measurements multiple times and/or conducting other examinations.
NOTE: When using the data taken by this instrument for refractive correction
surgery, thoroughly determine the selection by also examining surgery methods
and exercising other inspections. Refractive correction surgery conducted according
to incorrect measurements or analysis results may result in further surgery or
severe complication such as keratectasia.
NOTE: Since simultaneous use of multiple devices can cause misdiagnosis or result
in a hazardous situation, exercise caution when using this instrument
NOTE: For Topography and Anterior scan it may be difficult to recognize the
boundaries when capturing an image of an eye with opacity or malformation such
as corneal disease, shallow anterior chamber, aphakic eye, pseudophakic eye or
dense cataract eye. In this case if required to correct the layers or reject
measurement values. Oct image
41 / 387
NOTE: No SOCT is intended to be used as the sole diagnostic aid in disease
identification of classification.
NOTE: The following artifact may appear on the OCT image, but this does not
indicate any failure.
NOTE: When the measurement light enters the cornea, sclera, conjunctiva or
intraocular lens perpendicularly, a bright line appears in the depth direction.
NOTE: Ghost noise may occur in areas with strong reflection such as cornea, sclera,
conjunctiva and iris.
NOTE: Correct patient fixation and alignment centered on the pupil are both critical
to obtaining a consistent corneal power measurement.
NOTE: To ensure plausibility of IOL Calculation results the operator should always
use more than one calculation formula for a given IOL model and patient. This
enables the user to exercise closer scrutiny of obtained results.
NOTE: The user should always seek to ever improve their IOL optimization. IOL
personalized and optimized data should be created through the analysis of pre-
operative data obtained with the device and the results of stable refraction tests
performed 3 months after the surgery.
NOTE: For graphical objects to be scaled correctly while using 4K resolution, it is

necessary to set text scaling to 200% in the screen settings window of the operating
system.
NOTE: As the Anterior Chamber, wide Angle to Angle and Pachymetry scans are
compensated for beam scanning geometry and reflection from the surface of the
cornea, during acquisition it is important that the scan is centered on the vertex of
the cornea so that a strong vertical reflex is visible through the corneal vertex. The
compensation algorithm works with greatest accuracy when corneal scans are
centered this way.
NOTE: The aperture of the optics for the scans of the posterior segment is 15 mm.
For this reason, when using the maximum scan width for 3D and Angio scans, the
OCT signal is not visible in the corners.
NOTE: Low quality examination result can be expected in the following situations:
– Patients with complete or partial coverage of the cornea, caused by palpebral
fissure which is closed or too small.
– The patient is unable to steadily fixate the fixation light with the eye under
examination
42 / 387
Reporting adverse events
If any serious incidents have occured, they must be reported to the manufacturer or the
distributor and a competent authority of the Member States in which the user is established.
Notes on Use
Before use
- Inspect the SOCT daily. Make sure that no foreign matter on the front lens is present
that can affect image readings or diagnoses.
- Any dirt or scratches on the objective lens appear as black spots which may affect the
image quality. Check and clean the objective lens before taking an image. You cannot
take good images if the objective lens is dusty.
- Sudden heating of a room during winter or in cold regions may cause condensation to
form on the objective lens or on optical parts inside the SOCT, resulting in an inability
to obtain optimal images. In this case, wait until condensation disappears before taking
images.
- Before turning the device on, make sure that Anterior Chamber Adapter is not installed
on the objective lens.
After use
After using the SOCT device, turn off the power, attach the objective lens cap to protect the

analysis views are available. In order to combine more than one type of scanning program a
protocol can be used. System automatically changes the working distance.
Retina: Fixation position central: The result shows the tomogram image of the macula
and analysis results of retinal analysis for retinal disease and fibers analysis.
Disc: The fixation target is offset to allow the center of the optic nerve to move to the
center of the scanned area. The scan pattern overlay consists of concentric
rings to assist in the alignment of the optic disc in the center of scanned area.
The result shows the tomogram images of the optic disc, results of thickness of
RNFL (Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer) analysis, and quantification of the morphology
of the optic disc.
64 / 387
Anterior: The result shows the tomogram image of the anterior segment and analysis
result of the cornea analysis. This section has three groups of scan programs:
[Anterior] group - width of scan programs are 3 - 5 mm.
[Biometry] group – AL scan program.
[Topography] group
Widefield: The fixation target is offset to allow placing the macula and the optic disc in the
center of the scanned area. Useful for peripheral observation.
Protocol: Protocol allows to perform predefined set of exams of different type one by
one. This option allows to shorten time used for scanning program selection
CAMERA: The Fundus Camera mode allows the user to perform fundus photography in
the following programs: Central, Disc and Retina.
Selection of scanning program

User can select the desired scanning program from scan programs panel by clicking mouse
cursor on the scan pattern and selecting program from the icon list (R-Retina, D-Disc
W-Widefield, A-Anterior). Scanning parameters are different depending on scan modes and
patterns. Operator can reconfigure and save personal settings as default.
3D scanning program consists of a series of equally spaced parallel line scans over
a square or rectangle region, the size of which you determine. This program enables
precise and three-dimensional reconstruction of retina. In the program, analysis
modules give the most reliable and exact results.
Radial scanning program consists of a series of 2 to 32 equally spaced line scans

through a common central axis. This program enables taking scans in high resolution
in a few directions. The default pattern has 15 lines of 7 mm length. Operator can
adjust the length of scan lines by adjusting the scan width and number of scans.
B – scan Operator can adjust the length and placement of each scan. This program
enables taking a single B scan in highest resolution. If averaging is selected, the
scanning program scans one place defined number of times. It allows to enhance
information and it can be helpful for patients with a gaze problem. A cine loop from
scanned places can be observed.
Cross scanning program Enables taking two tomograms (horizontal (0°) and Vertical
(90°) of 10mm length. You can adjust the length and placement of scans. This
program enables taking B-scans in highest resolution.
65 / 387
Raster This program enables taking 5 B scans in highest resolution. The default
pattern is 5 horizontal lines whose length depends on the scan program. You can
adjust the length, tomogram spacing and angle of scan.
Raster 21 This program enables taking 21 B-scans in the highest resolution. The
default pattern is 21 horizontal lines whose length depends on the scannig program.
You can adjust the length, tomogram spacing and the angle of the scan.

[Auto C-gate] compensates position of object on the OCT live window preview (length of
coherence gate) and [A-Focus] (Refraction compensation) buttons and sliders to the left help
you improve the scan image quality and center it vertically.
iTRACKING
iTracking™ technology can compensate involuntary eye movements and blinks. If iTracking is
enabled, each scan program is acquired twice and the system immediately creates an artifact-
free MC examination using the Motion Correction Technology™. The system saves
3 examinations if artifacts are detected. Two exams will be saved if the system does not detect
blinks and movements. iTracking is available for Angio OCT and 3D scans and can be enabled
or disabled by pressing the [ ] iTracking button.

After conducting an examination with iTracking, the system will display an acceptance window
with the results after Motion Correction. The windows for Angio OCT and 3D scans differ. A
reconstruction from Motion Correction exam will be shown in the window.
iTracking button separately stores status for each Angio OCT and 3D scans.
Eye Tracking19
Eye Tracking helps to maintain scan placement when the patient blinks or moves their eye. Eye
Tracking is available for OCT scans and can be enabled or disabled by pressing the Eye Tracking
button [ ]. It also indicates the state of the function:
All requirements for performing a scan with Eye Tracking have been met.
Poor image quality and/or too narrow pupil – Eye Tracking disabled.
If the user is working in the automatic mode, and the conditions for using Eye Tracking have
not been met, the following message is displayed: „No condition for EyeTracking. Press OK to
continue examination without EyeTracking or press Cancel to stop examination.” The user can
choose to either perform an examination without Eye Tracking or to go back to the Acquire
window by clicking [Cancel].
If the user is working in the manual mode, and the conditions for using Eye Tracking have not
been met, the following message is displayed: „No condition for EyeTracking.” The message
disappears after 3 seconds, and the user can continue to manually acquire an exam with the
Eye Tracking function off.
19
79 / 387
Once scanning has started, a progress bar window with the Tracking status indicator is
displayed. The indicator is green if the scanning is progressing normally. If scanning conditions
deteriorate (due to blinking, poor IR image quality etc.) or if the device is repositioning the
lens, the Tracking status indicator turns red.
If the patient eye conditions are to demending to finish or patient is bot able to keep the head
during long measurment press [Finish] OCT scanning without eye tracking.
[Cancel] – stops examination without saving results.
If Eye Tracking fails, the following message is displayed. Click OK to close it. The examination
will be saved with a negative quality index (NG).
After conducting an examination with Eye Tracking, the system displays an acceptance window
with the results after Motion Correction. The windows for Angio OCT and 3D scans differ. A
reconstruction from Motion Correction exam will be shown in the window.
Eye Tracking button separately stores status for each Angio OCT and 3D scans.

[Accept] – On pressing [Accept] the system saves three scans. If after pressing [Accept] the MC
algorithm does not detect movement artifacts or blinks in two acquired scans, it will save the
two scans and will not generate any new MC scans.
[Rescan] – Saves the 2 scans and returns to the acquisition window in order to repeat the scan.
If the second or further scans yield no satisfactory result, the user can either try again or use
the Motion Correction function based on scans from two or more iTracking attempts from
within the Results tab. See chapter 17.3 Motion correction.
[Reject] – The system will not save any scans.
[Do not ask again] – When checked, it will always accept the scan for the user. This window
will not be displayed again until being re-enabled.
To enable the Acceptance window, head to Setup\Preferences\[DEVICE TYPE]
[Setup]\Parameters\ Select Checkbox Ask for acceptance window for iTracking 3D scan
under 22.5.3 Parameters tab.
When the system does not recognize any motion artifacts, it will not create an MC scan. In this
situation, instead of the MC mark the system will display the time of the exam without
artifacts.
If the user does not accept the MC results, they can [Rescan] the exam. If the new MC results
are still unacceptable, the user can call the Motion Correction function based on 4 or more
original scans from the Result tab. See details in chapter 17.3 Motion correction.
If pressing [Reject], the system will only save the two basic scans if iTracking had been enabled.
If not, the system will not save any scans.
Figure 30 Angio Scan Acceptance Window
After scan acquisition, it will appear the top of the scan list, appear as an MC (Motion
Correction) scan and be selected as the active scan. In case of opening the Result tab, the SOCT
will only perform analysis on MC marked scans. The system only performs full analysis for MC
marked scans.
In case of Angio exams, the component description is corresponding to those carried out
with Mosaic and those will not be analyzed, but instead marked as 1,2 and MC on the list. In
case identical exams are carried out again i.e. same location, amount of A and B scans, width
and angle of scan, those will be marked as 3 and 4

There are three modes of acquiring the examination available: Full Auto, Semi Auto and
Manual mode. See details in chapter 8.3 Acquisition modes description
Preparation for examination

Check patient’s pupil size. In case of narrow pupil, it might be necessary to dilate the patient’s
eye. Dilation is optional. The pupils of the examined eyes must be at least 2.45 mm in
diameter. Tomograms acquired through too small pupils may be dark on the edges, or the
SOCT signal may be weak, leading to lack of image intensity and clarity.
1. From the main window, select the patient you want to examine. Fast search mechanism
can be used to locate patients easily. If the patient is not on the list, perform the
registration. See chapter 6. PATIENT WINDOW
2. Verify the patient refraction. If the refraction value is higher than -/+5D add this
information to patient’s data (Edit Patient). See chapter 6.2 Registering new patients
3. Click 'Acquire’ tab from main window. Make sure that the proper patient is selected
(look at the upper right corner of examination window). See chapter 7. EXAMINATION
ACQUSITION TAB
4. Select the desired scanning program (RETINA, DISC, ANTERIOR, WIDEFIELD - see
chapter 8.3 Scanning programs description) or Protocol (see chapter 7.3 Selection of
protocol) and acquisition mode (see chapter 8.2 Acquisition modes description). The
way of Acquisition mode should be selected (Full Auto-select checkbox, Semi Auto or
Manual)
5. Tell the patient to sit in front of the device. Adjust the height of the table to seat the
patient comfortably. Place patient's chin on the chinrest and ask the patient to rest
his/her head firmly on chinrest and forehead support. Using the Chinrest control
buttons adjust the elevation of patient's head. Canthus has to be on the reference
position on the forehead frame. Advice the patient to look straight ahead then after its
visible focus on blinking fixation point and do not follow the scanning beam.
WARNING: Make sure, that patient does not put his head inside the frame when
“up” or “down” chinrest elevation button is pressed.
6. Change the eye if required, press [L] or [R] button to choose the desired eye.
7. When the system recognizes the pupil [START] button becomes active. If the pupil is
not visible on the eye preview, it is required to move the scanning head to left/right
and/or back/forth slightly to allow pupil detection. It is also possible to click on the eye
preview (left mouse button or touch screen press) to move the head to desired
location. See chapter 7.4 Device head movement controls and 7.5 Eye preview).

Anterior measurement
In order to conduct examination of anterior segment, follow the instructions below:
1. Select Anterior, and scan program if required.
2. Prepare the patient as explained in chapter 8.1 Preparation for examination.
3. Press the [START] button to switch to the Full Auto or Semi Auto acquisition mode.
4. In Semi Auto or Manual verify the position of the OCT signal before pressing [Acquire]
button.
Cornea scan – (For pachymetry map use Anterior Radial scan). Locate the cornea in
between two dashed lines to get the best cornea images. Use center reflex from cornea to
locate the scan in the middle of scanned window. Use vertical dashed lines as reference.

Figure 44. Proper Anterior measurement alignment
Angle scan – There are two techniques of acquiring single Angle scan. Use Single B scan
Method I. Ask patient to look to the side (edge of device head) or use external target to guide
the patient until cornea with sclera are parallel to the scanning window. Grab and move the
cornea until the anterior angle will be in the center of the scanned window. See image below
for reference.
Figure 45. Single angle measurement proper alignment
Method II. Ask patient to look straight forward. Move the scanning head until Anterior angle
appears in the scan window. In this method it is recommended to scan in Bottom mode.
Figure 46.Single angle measurement proper alignment
5. Once the scan location is set in selected place, click twice on the tomogram or press
[Acquire] button. PC will initialize measurement process and then full scan will be
performed.
91 / 387
NOTE: Only when border air - anterior surface is correct are AOD and TISA
measurements accurate. Verify recognition correction before judging the Anterior
Angle morphology.
NOTE: Vertical dense line in the center of Cornea is a natural reflection of laser light
and has no negative influence on measurement result. It can be used to locate the
tomogram in proper position.
NOTE: As the Anterior Chamber, wide Angle to Angle and Pachymetry scans are
compensated for beam scanning geometry and reflection from the surface of the
cornea, during acquisition it is important that the scan is centered on the vertex of
the cornea so that a strong vertical reflex is visible through the corneal vertex. The
compensation algorithm works with greatest accuracy when corneal scans are
centered this way.
Wide Anterior programs

8.3.7.1 Wide Anterior programs for REVO & NX & FC
The Anterior Chamber Adapter is not applicable for REF 190, 191 and 192 models. It has an

Full Range examination mode

Full Range examination mode offers scanning depth increased from the standard 2.8 mm to
~6.0 mm (Revo FC, Revo 60, Revo 80, Revo nx 130) or from 2.4 mm to 4.8 mm
(SOCT Copernicus, SOCT Copernicus Revo, Revo nx,). In order to perform a Full Range scan of
the anterior segment of the eye it is necessary to install the anterior adapter on the lens of the
SOCT device. Anterior adapter installation instructions can be found in section 8.3.7 Wide
Anterior Programs. (The installation of the anterior adapter does not apply to the Revo FC
which comes with a built-in, automatic anterior adapter).
99 / 387
Before conducting a Full Range examination, prepare the patient as explained in section 8.1
Preparation for examination.
A Full Range scan in the simple mode (described below in section 8.4.1 Anterior Full Range
examination mode) normally displays an inverted mirror image of the scanned structure. The
inverted image can be oriented to overlie and match the original image. As a result, the two
images become coupled to form a highly detailed image of the structure.
Anterior Full Range examination mode
Figure 61. Anterior Line Wide Full Range examination view
There are two ways of displaying the tomogram: simple and complex.
Simple mode is active in the following situations:
• During the automatic alignment.
• During manual alignment i.e. when using C-gate, Focus or Head movements, the eye is
disengaged.
Complex mode is active in the following situation:
• When the scanners run slowly (if the user does not manipulate the system, the system
shows a Full Range tomogram // scan with a density of 4096 B-scan).
In the semi-automatic and manual modes, the image visible in the tomogram window can be
displayed in two modes:
Simple mode Complex mode
Fast refresh Full Range discoupled – faster Full Range coupled mode – default – lower
refresh. In the simple mode the user can see the refresh. In the complex mode the original and
original image together with its inverted inverted images are coupled to form a detailed,
reflection. homogenous image.

External fixation
With the external fixation method, the patient uses the second eye to fixate on an external
target light. The SOCT may be equipped with an external fixation target arm. It is attached at
the top of the forehead support. Its position is set manually. When you select external fixation
target, instruct the patient to look at the blinking target light at the end of the external fixation
arm.
Chorioretinal/Vitreoretinal mode
Vitreoretinal / Chorioretinal C-gate mode. Settings are programmed based on scan design to
enhance either the information above the RPE (Vitreoretinal), or the choroid and overall
information (chorioretinal). Press [Settings] and select C-gate mode to change mode. Press
[OK] to change scan program.

Examination tips
NOTE: Patients are usually nervous and stressed during an examination. Therefore,
it is advisable to be informative about the progress of the examination to minimize
unexpected movement.
Tips for Automatic Eye Alignment
Tips in case of the [START] button being inactive:
▪ verify pupil recognition;
▪ check for obstructions such as eyelids or eyelashes;
▪ verify chinrest height;
▪ verify head position;
▪ if necessary, adjust device position using Up/Down and Left/Right controls available
when hovering over live eye preview. Red arrows indicate incorrect patient position.
102 / 387
Tips for Manual Eye Alignment e
To align the pupil position, move the

device forward using the back/forth
controls until both halved images (top
and bottom) combine.
Correctly aligned pupil will have a white
cross in the middle.
If the white cross is not in the middle,

click it into place after both halved
images combine.
The white cross has to be placed in the
middle of the pupil.
In case of issues with C-Gate:

▪ check if the pupil is centered;
▪ verify whether the patient has a large refraction (if so, make a note in patient profile);
▪ if the issue persists, check for eyelids or eyelashes obscuring the scan area;
▪ verify whether focus is set correctly;
▪ if issue remains unresolved, verify whether the patient’s forehead is still fully against
the frame and set correctly;
▪ manually scroll C-Gate;
If ghost tomograms are displayed, move
C-Gate position and check if the pupil is
centered.
Proper examination position can be
obtained by scrolling the mouse wheel or
dragging to the desired position.
Auto C-Gate issues

8.7.3.1 Tips to Optimize OCT Signal
Focus Alignment
There are a number of conditions in which automated function processes could fail, i.e.:
▪ dense media opacities;
▪ eyelashes or eyelids blocking the beam of light;
▪ inability of patients to maintain fixation;
▪ nervous and/or stressed patients with jerky movement;
▪ strong nystagmus.
In cases where adverse conditions occur, it may be necessary to:
▪ optimize the OCT signal manually;
▪ align the tomogram manually;
▪ carry out the exam manually.
103 / 387
To manually compensate patient
refraction errors, scroll over the focus
slider.
Simultaneously observe QI index bar and
scan intensity to receive best results. The
QI index bar displays the signal to noise
ratio.
If the signal strength is low, adjust the focus manually. Additionally, artificial tears may be
used for dilated and dry eye patients.
For patients with severe sight problems,
use a large fixation target.
e
Focus correction may improve the

saturation of the tomogram.
If shadows are displayed on tomogram

edges, check whether the pupil is
centered.
To eliminate shadows, drag the
tomogram into the shadow.
8.7.3.2 Quality IR Preview

To avoid poor quality images:
▪ Verify the device distance to ensure good illumination by alignment to the center of
the pupil;
▪ Move the fixation target or scroll the mouse wheel over the live preview window to
change the working position.
Good image Poor image

8.7.3.3 Tomogram Alignment

To align the position of the tomogram:
▪ For precise movement, click, hold and drag the tomogram vertically and horizontally;
▪ For large movement, scroll the mouse wheel over the tomogram.
NOTE: By moving one tomogram i.e. horizontal, the vertical tomogram will move
as well.
104 / 387
Below are examples of correctly aligned horizontal tomograms.
Example: Retina Raster, align the retina
between the two dashed horizontal lines.
3D Retina, align the retina between the

two dashed horizontal lines.

aligned below or above the dashed lines.
Tips to Successfully Scan Difficult Patients

Problem: A patient with poor sight has difficulty following the fixation, causing the scan to
be invalid.
Possible solution: Utilize the large fixation or external fixation (see chapter 8.4) as an aid in
keeping the scanned eye in the scanning area. If the eye moves outside of the scanning area,
stop the scan and help the patient relax and focus on the fixation. Re-scan the patient.
Patients with large refraction error may be challenging for the automated processes to find
the retina.
106 / 387
In this case, the refraction error has to be compensated manually with C-Gate scrolling until
the retinal structure is recognized. If the issue still persists, verify pupil position and adjust if
necessary. Utilize the large fixation target. It is important to enter patient refraction error to
each patient so that the system can automatically adjust C-Gate in further scans.
Stressed, nervous or scared patients are likely to have excessive upward-downward
movements in the scan window causing poor scans.
Patient movement will not necessarily affect scan sequence, but will always affect the quality
(observe QI index bar). Action is required if such movements occur. Try asking the patient to
minimize movement during scan.
Also, try moving the device head slightly towards or away from the patient to stabilize the scan
window.
Lastly, the stability of the table can be utilized. If possible, position the table low enough so
that the patient can rest their head firmly in the headrest and ask them to wrap their arms
around the base of the device. This will place the patient in a firm and locked position and
minimize movements.
NOTE: If after scanning the patient begins to drift, remind them to continue being
in this same position in case a repeat would be necessary.
NOTE: Patients are usually nervous and stressed during an examination. Therefore,
it is advisable to be informative about the progress of the examination to minimize
movement.
The pictures below show how to make proper measurement and how to align the device.
Dashed lines identify the right position of the retina in the live OCT window.

Figure 66. Shadow on tomogram, grab and drag towards left side
Vertical line in fundus preview window is related to the right part of scan preview window. This
line shows the position of the scan in the eye. A scan should be horizontal, drag tomogram and
move left/right. (Left/Right drag movement on the vertical OCT live window corresponds to
up/down movement of the head. In the case here above the device is too high, so it should be
dragged left (move down).
Figure 67. Shadow on tomogram, grab and drag towards right side
Horizontal line in fundus preview window relates to left part of scan preview window. This scan
also should be horizontal. In the case here above the tomogram should be dragged right (head
movement device should be moved right to align scan and remove shadow.
The easiest way to align the tomograms is to drag a tomogram to the proper position.
If it is required to manually align working position across the center of the pupil, move first the
scanning head (usually forward) to working distance. At the working distance images created
108 / 387
from two preview cameras create one equal view. Then click on the pupil or use up/dw and
right/left movements to place the white cross in the center of equally aligned pupil.

Critera for Exam Acceptance

Use the following criteria to ensure that an OCT image you have captured is suitable. Evaluate
Fundus reconstruction to see the quality of the OCT exam and then evaluate OCT images.
Evaluation of OCT Fundus reconstruction for Posterior 3D exams.

• The fundus reconstruction image should be sharp and clear, preferably with good
visibility of the branching blood vessels
• The Fundus reconstruction image should have uniform saturation without dark corners
• The Fundus reconstruction image should have no or minimal saccades throughout the
scan
• The operator should review the Fundus reconstruction image to ensure that there are
minimal saccades and no saccades in the area of interest (e.g. macula).
• A saccade can be detected by discontinuities in the appearance of the blood vessels
(for example, a horizontal shift of the vessel at a specific location).
• The Fundus reconstruction should have no blinks
• The Fundus reconstruction: there should be no, if any, artefacts that may cast shadows
on the OCT scan. Shadows can come from media opacity such as e.g. cataract or floaters.
Small pupil scan
There is a visible dark area on the edges of the scan.
109 / 387
Figure 69. OCT scan through a very small pupil
Figure 70. Examples of scans with dark corners
Locally Weak Signal

Regional drop of the signal, either caused by floaters or by media opacity e.g. cataract can be
recognized in the fundus reconstruction image and confirmed in corresponding B-scans.
Figure 71. Example of a cataract patient with a loss of saturation
Floaters
Similar to blinks, floaters are obstructions of the OCT scan beam, thereby reducing the signal
strength reflected from the tissue beneath the obstruction. If a floater has sufficient density
and size, the vessels below can appear as weak or missing completely as visible in the example
below. This example also shows saccadic motion.
110 / 387
Floater artifcact Floater artifcact
Saccadic motion Saccadic motion
Floater artifcact
Figure 72. Examples of floaters with saccadic motion
These above “shadows” can be identified as floater artifacts by cross-checking for the same
pattern of shadows across the enface scan and B-scan. The above example displays the shadow
that starts in the vitreous and proceeds through the retina, which effectively shows that there
was an opacity between the light source and the tissue. This can further be identified as a local
signal reduction.
Although this type of local signal reduction is not analyzed by the Quality Index calculations, it
may significantly affect results analysis. These examinations should therefore be analyzed
carefully or repeated without floaters. The above examination in particular also has saccadic
motion, therefore it should be repeated regardless.
Blinks
Blink artifacts are obstructions of the OCT scan beam during acquisition causes absence of
information while the eye is closed. These artifacts appear as straight black lines without any
structure within the lines. These lines are easily visible and can also be recognized due to the
loss of image. Motion Correction is designed to prevent these artifacts from forming, however
it may still be possible for blinks to be visible in exams without iTracking™ enabled. Below is
an example of a blink in the OCT image.
Figure 73 Example of an uncorrected blink
111 / 387
Example of blinks corrected by Motion Correction that is acceptable for analysis.
Exam 1 Exam 2 MC Result
Figure 74 Blink artifacts corrected to an acceptable standard
Blinks can also be identified as a local signal reduction. Although this type of local signal
reduction is not analyzed by the Quality Index calculations, it may significantly affect results
analysis. These examinations should therefore be analyzed carefully or repeated without
artifacts.
Saccades
A saccade can be detected by discontinuities in the appearance of blood vessels, usually visible
as a horizontal shift of the image. For 3D exams it is important to ensure that there is minimal
if any, saccadic motion. There should be no protrusion into or through the areas of interest,
such as the macula or optic disc. iTracking™ is purposed with minimizing the possibility of
saccadic motion being captured. Below is an example of multiple horizontal shifts known as
saccades and is not acceptable for analysis.

Example of saccadic motion corrected by Motion Correction that is acceptable for analysis
after processing.

Evaluation of OCT tomograms for Posterior and Anterior scans

• The central part of the scan has to be centered on the fovea or the apex of the cornea
or Anterior Angle has to be in the center.
• OCT scans should be complete and without missing data.
• Verify the position of the retina or the cornea in the scan window. No part of the signal
can touch the upper or lower edge of the tomogram. If the tissue of the eye is captured
too low or too high in the axial field of view of the scan, then part of the signal will be
overlaid by a ghost signal and it can present an untrue structure.
• The intensity of the signal has to be uniform from one end of the tomogram to the
other.
• The retinal image should be well-defined. Retina surface has to be strongly
distinguished from the background and hiper-reflective layer. (ILM, OS/RPE) should not
have excessive motion artifacts.
• The corneal image should have well–defined posterior and anterior surfaces, should
not have excessive motion artifacts.
• The corneal image should have well–defined posterior and anterior surfaces, should
not have excessive motion artifacts and strong reflections from anterior surface.
If the image does not meet the criteria the operator has to retake it.
Example of a well saturated and centered tomogram with the fovea in the center.
The signal is equally saturated across the whole scan.

Figure 81. Example of an OCT image placed high and out of the scan window
OCT images
• For optimal quality, the signal strength should be rated 7 or more.
• Scans should be complete in all windows without missing fields.
• Density of color and features should be the same throughout.
Fundus photography
• The scan should be overlaid and centered directly on the fovea or optic nerve head.
• Photo focus should be sharp and clear. Branching blood vessels should be clearly
visible.
• Artifacts that may cast shadows on the OCT scan should be kept to a minimum.
3D Examination Acceptance Criteria

Prior to accepting a 3D examination, the user must ensure that the acceptance criteria are
met.
Saccades
Obstructions in the form of saccades are described in section 8.8.2 Evaluation of OCT
tomograms for Posterior and Anterior scans
115 / 387
Banding
Carrying out 3D exams with iTracking™ enabled may lead individual B-Scans being acquired at
different horizontal positions. Due to this, there may be vertical tissue variations in the B-scan
window. Although iTracking™ is also purposed with correcting for this motion, it may
nevertheless cause the OCT images to contain intensity artifacts. These artifacts appear as
horizontal lines or form bands in the OCT image, as shown in the examples below:
Figure 82. Examples of banding
Given that there are no saccades, exams with OCT images like these should be sufficient for
analysis as there is no protrusion into or through the areas of interest. The operator is
therefore advised to save the exam.
Weak local signal

Weak local signal is often caused by media opacities between the OCT scan beam and the eye.
There are several causes and sometimes carrying out an examination again will resolve the
problem.
Blinks
Visual obstructions in the form of blinks are described in section 8.8.2 Evaluation of OCT
tomograms for Posterior and Anterior scans.
Floaters
Visual obstructions in the form of floaters are described in section 8.8.2 Evaluation of OCT
tomograms for Posterior and Anterior scans.
Cropped Image
In cases where the retina is placed too high or too low in the OCT acquire window, it will usually
lead to image cropping. These can be recognized in the reconstruction image and cross-
checked against corresponding B-scan images.
116 / 387
Figure 83. Example of a cropped image
These artifacts can also be identified as a local signal reduction. Although this type of local
signal reduction is not analyzed by the Quality Index calculations, it may significantly affect
results analysis. These examinations should therefore be analyzed carefully or repeated
without artifacts.
OCT Angiography Acceptance Criteria

Prior to accepting an Angiography exam, the user must take the following points into
consideration:
• Segmentation errors
• Image quality
Segmentation errors
These errors may result in incorrect visualization of Angio flow. The two boundary lines are
used to determine the particular enface image shown appear as purple and green lines
overlying the B-scan. It is important to confirm the presence or absence of Angio flow and
whether it is associated with the layers of interest. It may happen that Angio flow is present in
areas where it shouldn’t be.
For example, the below image that should be avascular shows several bright areas.
Examination of the B-scan shows an area that has pushed the segmentation up into the hyper-
reflective outer plexiform layer. This was caused by a drusen, therefore any bright signal
detected at this location is likely due to ordinary inner retinal vasculature and should be
regarded as an error.
Figure 84. Example of a segmentation error in OCT Angiography
117 / 387
This example shows an avascular retinal layer which demonstrates that the segmentation is
not correctly passing through the outer retinal layer that is expected to be free of signal.
Image Quality
OCT Angiography is far more sensitive to signal quality than structural OCT imaging. Poor signal
quality will have great effect on image quality and may lead to dark areas, which can affect
interpretation of the exam. OCT Angiography may therefore occasionally display dark spots
that are not a result of capillary dropout but rather due to poor local signal. See examples
below.
Figure 85. Example of poor image quality caused by saccadic motion
It is clear that the issue in this example is caused by saccadic motion. In other cases, floaters
or other media opacities are causes for concern when accepting an OCT Angiography exam.
The operator may also examine the B-scan and the structural enface image.
In a real disease, the image will appear dark, but the B-scan and enface image will not. To
cross-check this for errors, it is advisable to carry out more than one examination in cases
where floaters or other media opacities may be an issue.

Types of Analysis
Single Retina analysis
This shows the tomogram image of the macula and analysis results of retinal thickness from
Retina 3D scan. There are two analysis views available.
AI DeNoise
The AI DeNoise algorithm filters out noise form the tomogram for the highest and smoothest
image quality. The function is available on all tomograms and in every tab featuring them,
including the 3D tab. On averaged tomograms the function is on by default.
The moment a tomogram is loaded for review the software starts denosing it. After a short
moment the original “undenoised” tomogram is replaced with a noise-free image.
This process is started each time you load or scroll to display a new tomogram.
The figures below present the same tomogram with the AI DeNoise function off (left)
and on (right).
120 / 387
Figure 87. AI DeNoise off (left) and on (right)
CAUTION The AI DeNoise algorithm works to enhance the visibility of morphological

structures by processing the original image. However, tomograms with very low
signal level or low QI may be challenging to be processed correctly. When working
with such tomograms it is recommended that the user always compares the denoised
image with the unprocessed image to make sure there is no variance between
morphological structures presented on both tomograms.
Turning AI DeNoise on and off

When the AI DeNoise function is on it is indicated by the sign in
the upper right-hand corner of the tomogram.
You can always turn the function off and go back to the original
image. To do that hover your mouse over the sign. It will change into the switch for
you to click the function off. Clicking the switch again turns the function back on.
The state of the switch on shutdown is remembered to be restored when you launch the
software again.
3D Tab
The AI DeNoise function in 3D tab is available in both the Solid and the
Volume view. To turn it on go to the settings section inside the tab and click
Display. At the bottom of the Display tab there is an AI DeNoise checkbox.
Select it to apply the AI DeNoise algorithm to the image. If you deselect the
checkbox the denoise function is turned off. The state of the checkbox
inside the 3D tab does not influence the AI DeNoise switch in other tabs.

10.1.1.3 Sectors grid

Sectors graph corresponds to the grid overlaid on the Retina thickness map. In the sectors
graph the retinal thickness of each sector appears. Background colors are color-coded based
on the normative database.
It is possible to show sector with diameter: 1 / 3 / 6 [mm] or 0.6 / 2.22 / 3.45 [mm]. When
“Grid” option is selected, the whole map will be covered by grid of numbers. Each number
represents thickness at a selected point.
You can choose which value you want to observe in sectors: Mean, Maximum, Minimum or
Volume of the zone. The thickness map is further organized and presented in the nine ETDRS-
like Zones.
10.1.1.4 Information table
In the information table there are: average thickness of central sector, volume of scanned cube
and average retina thickness in scanned cube.
10.1.1.5 Retina thickness graph

Background of Retina Thickness graph shows the normative margin, the vertical blue line
corresponds to the horizontal position of the pointer on the tomogram. These graphs are
obtained only after detecting layers by means of Layers function.
The normative data are applicable to scans acquired with 3D scan mode. When the “Layers”
checkbox is marked and 3D protocol is applied to an applicable scan, normative data ranges
appear in the background. It uses a light red, light yellow, light green, yellow, red color codes
123 / 387
like in the legend below, to indicate values. The color code applies to each particular A-scan
location in the graph.
NOTE: Make sure that the marker which shows the center of macula in retina
analysis tab locates the fovea properly.
White area on the retina thickness chart identifies the area that is not covered by normative
data. e.g. scan length higher than 7mm and fovea not in the center of a scanned area.
10.1.1.6 Macula Normative distribution:

1% 1% falls within the light red band, considered outside the normal limit
4% 4% fall within or above the light-yellow band
90 % 90% fall within the green band
4% 4% fall within or below the yellow band
1% 1% falls within the red band, considered outside the normal limit
NOTE: Clinicians must exercise judgment in the interpretation of the normative

data. For any particular measurement, note that 2 out of 20 normal eyes (10%) will
fall above or below green.
DISCLAIMER: OPTOPOL Technology Sp. z o.o. takes no responsibility for diagnostic

interpretation of OCT images. It is the clinician’s responsibility to make diagnostic
interpretations of OCT scans.
10.1.1.7 Retina thickness map

Scroll over the tomogram to change the tomogram. Thickness at the single point of map can
be measured. Place mouse cursor over any map at the desired point and click left mouse
button. Detailed values will be displayed in the panel in the upper left corner of every map.
Macula location is detected automatically. There is possibility to correct fovea detection. Move
mouse cursor over a center of central sector. Click and hold left mouse button on a white dot
at “Retina thickness map” and move pointer to the desired position.
10.1.1.8 Quality index

Quality Index is a numerical value which represents the OCT exam image intensity and signal
coverage. The QI is a quantitative measure of signal strength, greater intensity corresponds to
a higher QI. Quality index takes values in the range from 0 to 10, where:
0 - represents the noise level (i.e. examination scanned without any object)
10 - represents a scan of a healthy patient with high saturation of signal and lack of shadings
in the boundary areas.
124 / 387
The Quality Index is a global examination index, which represents an average quality of all
tomograms. Quality Index uses all b-scans for 3D scans. When averaging is used (Line, cross,
radial, raster) the system calculates QI only from averaged images.
QI should be displayed on the thumbnails area under the exam date in single, both,
comparison and progression views.
NG (Rejected Status): if the examination has been marked as rejected, the NG mark is displayed
instead of QI on the examination list (only)
When the examination has QI=0 it is automatically labelled NG. If the NG label is not selected
to be automatically displayed on the tomogram – the TQF window is displayed instead.
QI must be placed on every report printed or saved into a file. QI must be displayed below the exam
date. Depending on the particular view the QI label position may differ.
Single view
10.1.1.9 Retina Deviation Map
Retina Deviation Map shows the percentage loss of the retinal thickness from the norm
determined from the normative database. Each pixel value on the map is calculated as
percentage value by the following formula:
(Thickness value – Normal value)/(Normal Value ) * 100.
The range of the color-coding of the map corresponds to -50% to 50% deviation.
The color-coding is roughly defined as below.
Red: Maximum (+50%)
Yellow: Around Upper Middle
Green: Around Middle (0 %)
Cyan: Around Lower Middle
Blue: Minimum (-50%)

Spaeth, MD. It centers on the appearance of the neuroretinal rim of the optic disc corrected
for disc diameter. It is a method for prognostic evaluation of the amount of optic disc damage
in patients with glaucoma. This can be treated as supplementary information and cannot be
treated as disease confirmation.
CAUTION: DDLS scale bases on a publication by George L. Spaeth, MD in 2002, and
can only be treated as supplementary information and cannot be treated as disease
Source: “THE DISC DAMAGE LIKELIHOOD SCALE: REPRODUCIBILITY OF A NEW METHOD OF ESTIMATING THE AMOUNT OF OPTIC NERVE
DAMAGE CAUSED BY GLAUCOMA” by George L. Spaeth, MD et al., 2002.
• Operator can manually modify automatic recognition.
• Operator has influence on default Cup offset and all other parameters (Layers

Once a user selects the [COMBINED] tab, the system will search the VF database for the patient
by their name, DOB and ID. If the data matches and corresponding exams from the same day
are found, the results are displayed. By default, the system presents one retina, disc and VF
exam for each eye. If any of these exams is missing for a given eye, the system displays results
for the eye for which a full set of exams is found.
If the VF database features a patient with the same name and DOB but a different ID, the
patient selection window pops up. In the window there is a list of patients with the same name,
144 / 387
surname and DOB but a different ID. After a patient is chosen, the system displays the list of
their exams. If there is only one patient, their name is highlighted automatically.
If the VF database features a patient record with matching data, but lacking a VF exam with
the same date as the OCT exam, the system displays a selection window allowing the choice
of a VF exam to be displayed.

Requirements that must be met for loading perimeter tests in the
SOCT application
• PTS software version 3.4.0 or higher
• A configured connection between the SOCT and the PTS applications
• Input data from the SOCT: at least one Retina 3D or Disc 3D examination
• A patient record in the SOCT application with the same personal details as the patient
record in the PTS application (first name, second name, date of birth)
An exception is the patient id which can differ between the SOCT and PTS applications. If the
patient’s ids are identical, only the patient record from the PTS application is used. Otherwise,
the SOCT application loads the list of all patient records with the same personal data without
taking into account the patient id - the list of the patients and their exams is then displayed. If
there is a full correspondence of patient data (the same name, surname, date of birth, id) all
test data, if they meet the conditions of the automatically selectable test, will be added to the
Combined tab automatically without displaying the list of tests. Otherwise, a list of the
patient's tests will be displayed for the selection of the test/tests of the left and/or right eye.
The test for a given eye will not be automatically added if there is no consistence between the
SOCT and PTS tests, e.g. when there is a test for both the left and the right eye in the SOCT
software, but in the PTS software the test for only one eye is 100% consistent.
The following conditions must be met for the compatibility of a test with Structure &
Function:
• Eye correspondence in both tests - for a given perimetric test there must exist an SOCT
test of the same eye.
• The size of the stimulus used in the perimetric test: Goldman 3.
• The colon of the stimulus used in the perimetric test: white or green.
• Strategy of the perimetric test: any threshold strategy (threshold, fast threshold,
dynamic, advance, zeta, zeta fast, zeta faster, top, top+).
• A fully finished perimetric test.
• Test field: arbitrary (a thumbnail of the original field on the list of tests, after adding the
test to the Combined tab, the field is interpolated to one of three orthogonal fields with a
maximum radius of 10, 24 or 30)
The following conditions must be met for a full compatibility of tests from the PTS application
(automatically selected) with tests from the SOCT application:
• The difference between the dates of tests cannot exceed 182 days (half a year)
• The perimetric test must be accompanied by reliability tests such as H-K, false positive
errors, false negative errors.
146 / 387
• The result of each reliability test must be lower than 25% (error/test ratio)
Structure & Function – VF Results Layer in Combined view

This additional layer provides the ability to overlay OCT Structure & Function maps with Visual
Field (VF) Results and VF Locations.
VF Results overlay is available only in [Combined] view. VF Locations overlay is available in
Retina 3D Both Eyes [Ganglion] view, Disc 3D |Both Eyes|, [Advanced] and [Combined] views.
The VF Results layer displays the Pattern Deviation probability (PPD) results of Visual Field
points, at appropriate locations adjusted to foveola and disc area in the Retina and Disc maps.
The VF Results layer can be enabled in the context menu of any of NFL+GCL+IPL significance
map and NFL+GCL+IPL deviation maps. This functionality requires an active connection with
PTS software, otherwise the [Combined] tab will be inaccessible and VF results will not be
loaded. PTS software version later than 3.4 is required for this functionality.
Figure 109 PPD Probability Results Figure 110 Disc area
PPD results of 10-2 and 30-2 Visual Field are arranged in a way that takes into account the non-
linear relationship of distance on the VF maps and the distance on the retina (only when
connection is established with PTS v3.4 or higher)
The PPD results for the combined view with the Disc sectors never take into account the
nonlinearity of the relationship, as seen below:
Figure 111 PPD Combined view results
If you select PD result, it is presented with numerical values as shown below.

VF results are also visible in the magnified windows available by double-clicking on the
selected view with the VF results displayed.
10.4.3.1 Availability of VF results

VF results layer is available in the [Combined] tab:
• In Retina maps if a Macula or Central visual field test is currently loaded (displayed as
either point 10-2, point 24-2 or 30-2) for a given eye;
• In Disc maps if a central or macula visual field test is currently loaded (displayed as either
point 24-2, point 30-2 or 10-2) for a given eye.
It can be toggled on and off by selecting VF results in the context menu from select views.
Context menu can be accessed by right-clicking on a suitable preview.
Figure 112 Enable VF results from Context menu
If the VF results layer is available and enabled, the VF locations layer for the map is hidden (if
enabled). Enabling VF results in one view enables it in all views for which VF locations can be
displayed.
Printouts from individual views reflect the display state of the VF locations function in the user
interface. The VF results display state is saved to the specific user and the state is saved after
the application restart.
148 / 387
Structure & Function – VF Locations Layer
The VF Locations layer displays the position of points of Visual Field, at appropriate locations
adjusted to foveola hole and disc area in the Retina and Disc maps. VF points of 10-2 and 30-2
test fields are arranged in a way that takes into account the non-linear relationship of VF results
and retina OCT imaging.

11 ANTERIOR SEGMENT ANALYSIS
The SOCT was designed to posterior and anterior imaging. To obtain corneal and anterior segment
images use Anterior Scan programs.
Anterior scans for 3-5 mm width do not require anterior lens.
Except for the REVO FC device, performing a wide anterior scan with a scan width of up to 16 mm
requires the anterior adapter being installed on the objective lens for better segmentation
processing.
During analysis the System classifies recognized structures on the image and classifies as
Cornea,
Cornea Lens,
Angle,
Angle to Angle,
IOL,
Iris,
Lens Front,
Lens Back,
Sclera,
Anterior Segment
In the case of a Full Range examination the system classifies recognized structures as
Anterior Chamber,
Lens,
Angle,
Cornea,
Sclera.
Recognition status is displayed in the top left corner of the Anterior scan tomogram thumbnail.
Depending on the scan classification proper analysis is displayed.
164 / 387
To change the classification of the scanned object, press the right mouse button on the
examination thumbnail and select Change the recognized structure from the list. Choose the
structure classification type. The system changes the type of the structure and reanalyzes the
examination using a different algorithm.

IOP formula
Displays IOP correction. Enter the patient’s IOP into the form to see the adjusted IOP. The SOCT
software can calculate the correction of IOP (Intraocular Pressure) reading from pneumo-
tonometer on the basis of the cornea thickness. After obtaining a complete tonometry value the
program calculates the level of correction (Correction) and the corrected IOP value (Adjusted IOP)
for the examined eye. The calculation formula is predefined.
NOTE: In case of a later detection failure, modify the layer boundaries manually.
NOTE: The cornea analysis tab is available only when the system classifies the scanned

Edit anterior surface.

SOCT finds the anterior (outer) and posterior (inner) surfaces of the cornea automatically.
Dewarping calculation (a form of image processing) is conducted for all Anterior scans used to
transfer the OCT image in “optical distance space” to “physical distance space.” The algorithm
requires properly recognized boundary between the Air and Anterior structure of the eye.
In some cases, the corneal surface lines clearly do not fit the corneal contours, due to anomalies
in the scan image, such as may be caused by the interference of eyelids or eyelashes.
To edit the surface boundary lines so they fit better, double click on the Tomogram window. Press
[Edit layers] button and select desired boundary. Then draw correct shape of anterior structure.
11.1.5.1 Angle or Angle to Angle scan

When you edit the layers, if required remove unnecessary data to change the portion of image
data included into mathematic model of ray tracing analysis in which that image is used.
Automatically, SOCT excludes portions of the image to which ray tracing correction model (a form
of image processing) cannot be confidently applied. The size of the excluded margin can be larger
when the processing algorithm cannot detect the corneal surfaces due to poor image quality.

On the tomogram preview windows white markers points will appear on left and right edge of
BM on actual scan (if actual scan crosses disc). If necessary, marker points can be moved by
clicking and dragging them on tomogram image area (changes in single scan will occur on
shape of disc and cup and will take effect in all analysis) to proper location. Yellow line shows
Cup Offset Line (parallel to purple disc which represents disc surface). Distance between Cup
Offset Line and disc surface line may be changed by editing the value on Cup Offset Panel or
moving the cup offset line. To reset cup offset values double click on the cup offset line on the
tomogram window.
After disc analyzing, operator can manually edit position of end of RPE markers. In order to
replace markers which identify the edge of RPE click white marker, hold the button and drag
to proper location in the disc profile (for each scan). It is possible to change position of edge
by drawing shape of the disc in Manual disc contour option.
Changing the Cup Offset will move cup closer or further from disc, this will be also visible in
cup shape on fundus reconstruction. All ONH data are automatically recalculated if Cup Offset
or RPE edge factors change. It is possible to restore default analysis by using [Reanalyze]
option. Right Click on the preview exam.
[Edit shape] – Opens “Manual disc contour edition” window which allows the physician to
draw manually the shape of the disc.
This window allows the user to redefine shape of disc and its
position.
[Apply] – applies the changes of the disc and closes the window.
[Cancel] – exits the window without changes.
[Reset] – resets a disc shape to condition which was before
opening the window.
[ Clear] – clears the disc’s factors. New shape of disc should be drawn manually.
181 / 387
There are two ways to correct shape of disc.
One is to remove contour of disc by using [Clear] button and drawing it again. To draw a new
shape of the disc, click on the center of a disc and at least two points on the edge of a disc.
Recognition of the disc will be automatically circled between selected points around disc
center. All other points will be automatically added after [Apply] button is used. If operator
decides to draw disc contour more accurately (with non-elliptic shape) it's possible to add
more disc points manually by clicking on the image
The other way is to redraw existing shape.
The disc shape adjustment window can be opened by double clicking on the NFL signification
map in either the SINGLE or BOTH EYES view.
Redraw the disc contour

Operator can redraw disc contour position in two ways:
Click and hold left mouse button and draw desired shape.
Put the cursor over the blue point to activate it. Point will highlight. To move active point to
new position click left mouse button and move mouse. To delete active point click right mouse
button on it – the point will disappear and white disc contour line will be updated to connect
two neighboring points.
Click and move the centre End of the blue tracking line points mouse
point cursor position. Click the left mouse
button to move the active (highlighted)
point from its position to the position of
the mouse cursor. Click right mouse
button to delete active point.
Disc contour lines are always restricted to image margins.

Whenever the manual analysis is still not helpful to perfectly draw the shape of the disc, the
user can still fix the manual analysis, by means of 2 white markers in the tomogram preview
182 / 387
of the main disc analysis window, as explained in Tomogram preview chapter 7.10 Live OCT
preview.

16 EXAMINATIONS REGISTRATION
OCT-OCT Registration
The SOCT software automatically correlates examinations thanks to recognized shape of the
blood vessels. If operator uses examinations free from eye movement artifacts for analysis,
then the dense scanning provides enough data for precise overlaying which eliminates X, Y and
rotation shifts between compared examinations. When above conditions are met, then this
function serves as post processing tracking.
217 / 387
Exams with artefact can be marked by operator as not correct – NG examination status appears
on the scan. Exams with NG status are not chosen automatically to any analysis (e.g.
comparison, progression, etc.).

Extracting tomograms from a 3D exam

The function makes it possible to display a follow-up tomogram that is tied-in location wise
to the reference tomogram so that all tomograms always present the equivalent location of
the patient’s retina for precise comparison or tracking of disease progression. To reach the
correct alignment of all tomograms, the software compensates the images for differences in
scan positioning and rotation which occurred during acquisition.
Before the function can be used, examinations must be correlated automatically or manually.
Registration of examinations is explained in the chapter 16 Examinations Registration .
An extracted tomogram is created by extracting A-scans of the follow-up tomogram on the
basis of the registration with the reference tomogram.
To display an extracted tomogram, go to Comparison or Progression tab. Make sure the
examinations have been correlated. Click the arrow next to the lock button to unfold
a context menu and choose the extraction function by clicking . (if the examinations are
not correlated, the extraction function is not available). The extracted tomogram is displayed
in the bottom right-hand corner. From now on, scrolling over either of the tomograms causes

17 ANGIOGRAPHY OCT
RETINA OCT-A
For details on acquisition procedure consult chapter 7. EXAMINATION ACQUISITION TAB
Angio OCT module is available as an upgrade to the SOCT system.
Angio can be used to detect flow within ocular tissue. The algorithm uses the variation
information in the repeated B-scans to detect locations of flow within ocular tissue. The Angio
scan protocol create a 3D scan data set, that combines the results of repeated B-scans. The
Angio mode graphically represents the results giving by OCT images that contrast areas of flow
and static tissue. The Angio scan which constructs angiography OCTA data is acquired by 230
A-scans and 230 B-scans as default for REVO. In REVO nx operator can modify scanning
protocol with maximum resolution 512 A-scan and 512 B-scan. The Angio scan which
constructs angiography OCTA data is acquired by 320 A-scans and 320 B-scans as default for
REVO FC.
[Single] view – Standard
Figure 226. Single - Standard view
The Single Standard Angiography view includes:

The upper row features four angiogram windows of different predefined retina layers depths.
On the bottom left there is an OCT enface image, next is a depth coded color map, and at the
bottom right there is a B-scan image. Each angiogram has red (horizontal) lines that indicate
the current B-scan location. You can drag these lines to display tomogram from desired
location.
229 / 387
It is possible to show only one retina layer in one angiogram window. You cannot show the
same retina layer in two different angiogram windows.
The user can customize the layer boundaries and offsets. The Customized recognition is saved
with the examination. The reanalyze function deletes, among other things, the customized
data. Thanks to that the user can evaluate the customized angiograms.
It is possible to import fundus images for the enface object. Right click on the enface object

Right click on the tomogram window opens the context menu and allows to turn on/off the
Angio flow on the tomogram.
The SOCT algorithm calculates the decorrelation value for each pixel in the B-scan by
comparing the OCT signal intensity variations across the B-scans in each set. Static tissue
locations, without flow, exhibit little variation in OCT signal intensity over the repeated B-
scans; therefore, the decorrelation values would be low.
Tissue locations with flow (for example inside a flowing vessel), show large variations in OCT
signal intensity over the repeated B-scans. At these pixel locations, the decorrelation values
would be high, indicating the presence of flow. The Angiogram image is a graphical
representation of the calculated decorrelation values, with high decorrelation values
indicating flow and low decorrelation values indicating static tissue.
Information displayed on the angiogram object is extracted from the space limited by position
of the top (selected retina layer and their offset) boundary and bottom (retina layer and their
offset) boundary.
At the angiogram window the user can select one of the predefined vasculature layers based
on the position of the recognized retina layer. The vascular layer can be selected from the list
box of available layers:

NOTE: In an OCT image, the intensity of the section under a blood vessel will be changed by
the blood flow. The intensity will affect the visualization of the highly reflective layers such as
IS/OS or RPE. Therefore, the angiogram images including IS/OS or RPE layer appear to be
similar to the angiogram of blood vessel structure of the inner retina. This effect is called
Projection Artifact. In a healthy eye there are no blood vessels in the outer retina.

Projection Artefact Removal algorithm.
Angio OCT techniques are based on the principle of motion contrast.
Visualization of the deeper vascular layers is affected by flow projection
artefacts form fluctuating shadows of the flowing blood cells in the more
superficial blood vessels that create “false flow” in the deeper layers. This
phenomenon is called “projection artefacts”. On cross-sectional Angio
OCT projection artefacts are seen as elongated signal tail. On enface
OCTA images the higher layer blood vessels network gets duplicated on
the deeper slabs.
You can turn on/off the projection Artefact removal by right-clicking in the context menu over
the angiogram. As default PAR is activate for Outer, Choriocapillaris, Choroid and Deep layer.
Figure 231. Projection artefact removal algorithm OFF / ON
NOTE: When PAR is turned off the vessels from above are projected downwards.
The ability to turn PAR off is included so the operator can evaluate the image
without the filter.
NOTE: Verify retina layer recognition boundaries and layers offsets before
evaluating angiogram of vascular layer.
NOTE: Due to projection artifacts of the retinal flow signal onto deeper layers,
such as the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid carefully evaluate the signal
deeper vascular layer especially RPE and choriocapillaris.

Quantification Maps [Density and Skeleton]

Quantification provides the quantification of vasculature in specific sectors and heat map
corresponding to the vasculature.
Density display - Vessel Area Density (VAD) - it is defined as the total area of perfused
vasculature per unit area in a region of measurement. This metric is calculated by summing up
the number of pixels which contain perfused vasculature, and dividing the sum by the total
number of pixels in the considered region. The result is a unitless number ranging from 0 (no
perfusion) to 1 (fully perfused) (mm²/mm²).
Skeleton display – Vessel Skeleton Density (VSD) – it is defined as the total area of skeletonized
vasculature per unit area in a region of measurement. Skeletonization performs thinning of all
vessels down to 1 pixel width and thus makes analysis more sensitive to small vasculature (as
the large vessels lose more area than the thin ones in the skeletonization process). This metric
is calculated by summing up the number of pixels that represent the skeleton of the
vasculature, and dividing the sum by the total number of pixels in the considered region. The
result is a unitless number ranging from 0 (no perfusion) to 1 (mm²/mm²).
Both VAD and VSD can detect abnormal vasculature and provide repeatable quantitative
results equally in normal and diseased eyes.
Quantification is available for Retina Angio
• Superficial

Analysis is available to all previously acquired examinations.
NOTE: Due to the method of calculating the pixel density there may be slight differences

Motion Correction
Motion correction algorithm is implemented to eliminate or minimize eye movement artifacts
on Angio OCT and 3D exams. The algorithm allows to create an artifact-free exam from one or
more scans.
The MC algorithm can be used on the number of examinations ranging from one to six. It is
recommended to use at least 2 examination of the same area.
A single exam needs to provide sufficient data. If there is enough data the algorithm will
generate correct result.
254 / 387
Mark the desired examinations on the Exam List in Results view (hold the ctrl button and click
on each exam), press the right mouse button and select “Motion correction” from the Menu.
The system will generate a new exam free of or with reduced motion artifacts.
If you use the Repeat function you can choose the Motion Correction function from the menu
without selecting exams. The system will use all repeated examinations from the specified
location.
The user can run the MC automatically by right-clicking on the chosen exam and selecting
“Motion correction” from the context menu. The software generates the results from 1 up to
6 examinations depending on the number of identical exams available.
Note: All marked examinations must have the same physical dimensions and the same number
of A and B scans and the same exam type. Please note, if the affected area repeats exactly in
the same position on all scans, the system will not be able to eliminate the artifact from this
area.
Note: The right amount of data and the quality of the examination are necessary for correct
motion artifacts reduction.

18 BIOMETRY OCT
NOTE: Biometry OCT is optional software modules. If you do not have this feature and want to
purchase it, contact Optopol’s local distributor.
The SOCT software with optional OCT Biometry function is intended for biometric
measurements and visualization of ocular structures for high myopia management and
performing IOL power calculations based on the patient’s biometric data and a selection of
recognized IOL calculation formulas.
The software measures the following parameters: Axial Length (AL), Central Corneal Thickness
(CCT), Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD), Lens Thickness (LT), Pupil Diameter (P), White-to-White
distance (WTW). The measurement and visualization assist in the determination of the
appropriate power and type of intraocular lens.
Axial length (AL) is the distance from the corneal apex to the fovea or more specifically, to the
RPE (Retnal Pigment Epithelium). The calculation is performed as the sum of the thicknesses
of the cornea, aqueous humor, lens, and vitreous humor and neurosensory retina.
Corneal thickness (CCT) is the distance between the anterior and the posterior surface of the
cornea.
Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD) is the distance between the anterior surface of the crystalline
(anterior capsule) and the outermost stratum of the cornea (epithelium).
Lens thickness (LT) is the distance between the anterior and the posterior surfaces of the lens
divided by its refractive index.
WTW is the distance from limbus to limbus of the eye.
Pupil diameter –is measured horizontally through the center of the pupil
Biometry safety information
WARNING! Users should not rely solely on measurements made using the REVO in
WARNING! Users must check measurement readings for plausibility. This includes
the checking of the detected position boundaries on B-scan and the adjusted lines,
which automatically adjust to the signal, whenever one of the measurements
displays an unusually high standard deviation. The operator must also take into
265 / 387
account the type (e.g., posterior subcapsular cataract) and density of the cataract
when evaluating plausibility.
CAUTION: Prior to the measurement, the user must verify that the patient is not
wearing contact lenses. Wearing contact lenses will result in erroneous
measuring results.
CAUTION Do not perform any contact measurements or examinations in which the
eye is touched. They may result in incorrect readings, particularly for
biometry and corneal topography measurements. Contact
measurements or examinations should only be performed after the
patient has been measured with the SOCT.
CAUTION: Correct detection of boundaries should be checked with particular care
during measurement, especially when measuring very long eyes, eyes
with dense cataracts, pseudophakic or aphakic eyes, eyes with any kind
of pathology. Despite various plausibility checks, measuring errors can
be manually be excluded or corrected in individual cases.
CAUTION: In patients with morphological changes of the retinal anatomy in the
region of the fovea (e.g. retinal detachment, edema), the axial length
measurement result may be erroneous and thus is not usable or only of
limited use for IOL calculation. In case of retina segmentation errors user
can do correction after verification of the region of interest.
CAUTION: Risk due to measuring errors. Unstable fixation can lead to measuring
errors and the calculation of incorrect IOL refractive powers. Check that
the patient fixates correctly on all the scan and the fovea is visible in the
all tomograms. Repeat the measurement in case of doubt or check the
measuring results by using alternative methods, if necessary.
NOTE Since the device measures up to the retinal pigmented epithelium, the
reading displayed is adjusted to the internal limiting membrane, as a function of
axial length or manually.
NOTE If the patient has previously undergone cataract surgery, available records
should be consulted for plausibility check of the measurement.
266 / 387
NOTE It may not be possible, under certain circumstances, to carry out
measurements on persons with fixation problems.
NOTE In cases of thick and dense cataracts and uncertain measurement of the axial
length ultrasound biometry should be performed as a control examination.
NOTE Dense lenticular opacities may make it impossible to measure the axial eye
length and lens thickness.
NOTE Pronounced opacities of the central cornea can likewise make it impossible
to measure corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness or axial eye
length.
NOTE Blood in the vitreous in cases of extremely dense cataract may make it
impossible to measure the axial eye length.
NOTE The user must check the tomograms when measuring anterior chamber depth
in pseudophakic mode. If only one IOL boundary is visible it may lead to errors.
Uncertainty in this case can lead to the displayed reading for anterior chamber
depth being inaccurate by the thickness of the IOL.
NOTE You are recommended always to examine both of the patient’s with at least
10 repeats. The user should subject the measurement readings to extra scrutiny if
there is a notable difference between the right and left eye. The following are
classified as notable differences:
• More than 1 D with respect to central corneal refractive power
=> 0.18 mm difference with respect to the corneal curvature radius
• More than 0.3 mm with respect to axial eye length
NOTE: The precision of axial length measurement may be different in eyes with
cataracts.
NOTE Users should check the OCT images to determine that the eye is not
excessively tilted or decentered which may result in inaccurate or implausible values
for measurement.
NOTE Users should verify detection on all scanned images.
NOTE Depending on the patient’s gaze at the fixation light, the optical path length
of the visual axis is measured. Make sure that foveola is in the center of scan.
267 / 387
NOTE All distance - thickness parameters (Axial length, Corneal thickness, Anterior
chamber depth, Lens thickness, White-to-white, Pupil size) are measured in
sequence captured tomograms.
NOTE An excessively tilted or decentered IOL may make it impossible to measure
the anterior chamber depth, lens thickness and aqueous depth.
NOTE The user must verify that the eye assignment (OD, OS) is correct for the
entered data.
Biometry Acquisition Mode

Before a biometry examination can be carried out the operator is required to perform the
initial calibration of the device. The calibration procedure is described in chapter 21
Calibration.
Ask the patient to look at the center of the green spot and blink freely if the sound support is
change.
Select biometric scan program. SOCT provides biometric scan program in Anterior tab group.
Measurement window to collect and automatically process the biometric data allows to take
exams of one or both eyes of the patient. Measurement is done in two steps. First step is
finding and optimizing the signal from retina, cornea and intraocular lens. In second step
system acquires automatically series of tomograms. Each series contains 4 tomograms at
prepared earlier positions. A single measurement can perform acquisition of 5, 10 or 15 series.
Acquisition time of 5 series is around 3 seconds.
Note: Collecting the data from both eyes is highly recommended.
When using the data taken by this instrument to select intraocular lenses,
thoroughly determine the selection by also examining cataract surgery methods
and other inspections. If incorrect measurement data is used to select intraocular
lenses, further surgery might be required
When using the data taken by this instrument for refractive correction surgery,
thoroughly determine the selection by also examining surgery methods and other
inspections. Refractive correction surgery conducted according to incorrect
measurements or analysis results may result in further surgery or severe
complication such as keratectasia.
Biometry scan programs are available in Anterior scan list.

268 / 387
AL – scan provides: AL, CCT, ACD, LT
Once scan program is selected operator has to confirm type of scanned eye.
Select the eye type
Select the type of vitreous
Figure 260. Type of eye selection window.
For each eye, select the type of crystalline currently present:

Phakic (natural lens) the patient has a natural crystalline lens.
Aphakic (no lens) the patient does not have any crystalline lens from birth or as a result
of surgery.
Pseudophakic eye where the patient has an IOL (intra ocular lens) substituting the crystalline.
In this case, it is very important to determine the type of material used by the surgeon and
select one of the following option
IOL PMMA
IOL Acrylate
IOL Silicon
IOL Unknown
IOL User The user has to determine and enter the refraction index of the patient’s IOL.
For the vitreous humor you can choose between:
269 / 387
Natural: The vitreous body has never been operated or treated such as to alter its
composition.
Silicon Oil The vitreous body has been filled, even only partly, with silicon oil.
The measured axial eye length depends on the measuring mode selected. Depending on the
measuring mode selected, SOCT corrects the measurement with a constant defined as follows.
SOCT takes into consideration two conditions of the eye that can alter the measurement of
axial length:
• Vitreous body filled of silicone oil
• Implant of IOL intra ocular lens

The difference of the measurement is caused by a different group refraction index considered
in the formula. According to bibliographic data, the calculations have been performed to assess
the amount of correction that must be applied to correct the measurement in these special
cases.
The correction values (in mm) of the natural vitreous body
Phakic (natural lens) 0
Aphakic (no lens) 0.21
IOL PMMA 0.11
IOL Silicone 0.12
IOL Acrylic 0.1
IOL Unknown material 0.11
The correction values (in mm) of the vitreous body filled by Silicon Oil
Phakic (natural lens) -0.74
Aphakic (no lens) -0.86
IOL PMMA -0.75
IOL Silicone -0.74
IOL Acrylic -0.76
IOL Unknown material -0.75

White to White
White to White (WTW) is a measurement of the distance from limbus to limbus. The
measurement yields two values:
1. White to White – the distance form limbus to limbus measured
horizontally through the center of the pupil.
2. P – the diameter of the pupil measured horizontally through the
center of the pupil.
274 / 387
The software automatically recognizes the edge of the pupil and the edge of the limbus. The
diagram below presents the concept of the WTW measurement.
Figure 267. WTW and P measurement ranges
CAUTION: The white-to-white distance value is merely an indirect measurement

of the inner lateral dimensions of the anterior ocular section. For this reason, it
provides only approximate indications of the actual inner lateral dimensions of the
anterior ocular section and of the size of the implant used.
The results of the WTW measurement are presented in the Biometry and IOL calculation tabs
in a form of a WTW measurement table as shown below.

19 IOL CALCULATION TAB
IOL Calculation Tab allows the user to calculate the lens power of a selected IOL model on the
basis of the patient’s morphological data (AL, K’s, ACD) and a IOL formula selected by the user.
Before staring work with the calculation tool, the user needs to enter IOL lens data in section 19.3
IOL Editor.
Running IOL calculations requires an active Biometry module installed in the system as well as
valid licenses for using IOL calculation formulas. The function is available only for exams which
were carried out on a properly calibrated device. Detailed information on the calibration of the
device can be found in Section 21.3 Axial length (biometry) calibration.
IOL calculation safety notes:
WARNING! Users should not rely solely on measurements made using the REVO in
WARNING! The IOL Calculation function is provided as an additional tool in the
hands of the physician to aid in the selection of an appropriate IOL for a particular
patient. The tool is intended to be used in combination with a proper and
comprehensive ophthalmic examination and diagnostic tests. The results of
calculations obtained with the IOL Calculation tool do not serve as surgical or
medical instruction and they are not conclusive. Optopol Technology cannot
guarantee accuracy or correct functioning of the tool at all times. The choice of a
particular IOL model and surgical procedure lies exclusively with the Physician who
takes the sole responsibility for the medical outcome of the procedure.
WARNING! Measurements must always be checked for plausibility which entails
checking the following: keratometry values, A and B-scans, the cursors automatically
adjusting to the signal, pupilometry and the white-to-white distance values.
Performing a plausibility check is especially important if any of the measurements
shows an unusually high standard deviation. Also, the characteristics of the cataract
such as the type (for example posterior subcapsular cataract) and density must be
taken into account.
CAUTION! The measurements taken with REVO may serve as the central element for
the calculation of intraocular lenses (IOL). A further important parameter in
281 / 387
calculating the lens to be implanted is the IOL constant. When using the REVO
devices only IOL constants optimised for optical biometers should be used. Please
contact your IOL manufacturer for information on optimised IOL constants for optical
biometry.
WARNING! The user is fully responsible for the verification of provided data using to
IOL implementation or any other medical procedure.
WARNING! The user is fully responsible for all values entered or changed manually.
CAUTION! Using data from acoustic instruments also requires the constant of every IOL
to be optimized for ultrasound applanation of instrument. At present, it is more common
to find online only databases of lenses optimized for optical biometry instruments.
CAUTION! The IOL calculation is valid only if the biometric measurement was correct, an
appropriate IOL calculation formula was selected and the IOL constants were optimized
for the specific application in advance.
Note: Only biometry exam with valid calibration allows to open IOL Calculation tab.

Importing IOL data
WARNING! Any imported IOL data must be reviewed and accepted by the operator prior
to using it. The full responsibility for using any imported IOL data form any source lies on
the user. Imported IOL data must not be regarded as recommendation in favor or against
using any particular lens on a patient. IOL data obtained from ULIB, IOL Con or any other
source only presents an overview of available lenses. Optopol Technology does not take
any responsibility for the quality or correctness of data imported into the system.
CAUTION The measurements taken with REVO may serve as the central element for the
calculation of intraocular lenses (IOL). A further important parameter in calculating the
lens to be implanted is the IOL constant. When using the REVO devices only IOL constants
285 / 387
optimized for optical biometers should be used. Please contact your IOL manufacturer for
information on optimized IOL constants for optical biometry. An alternative source of
information for IOL constants optimized for optical biometry is the website:
IOLCon.org - IOL Con is an international platform for characteristics of intraocular lenses
and the optimization of lens constants. The IOLCon team is located at University of
Saarland and working under the head of Steinbeis.

displayed as the default source by clicking [Set as
default].
CAUTION Calculation constants do not depend solely on the IOL type and calculation
formula used. They can also be influenced by factors such as measurement technology and
surgical technique which is why the user is strongly advised to optimize the constants for
their particular circumstances, case and practice.
To calculate the constants based on the a-constant of manufacturer enter the
A-constant value in the A-const field and click [Calculate constants].
287 / 387
CAUTION Remember that the A-constant is an estimate and should only be used for
reference if no better constants are available. Use only IOL constants optimized for optical
biometers.

operated only be appropriately trained and experienced staff with knowledge suitable for
interpreting the results. All members of the stuff must read this user manual thoroughly,
paying special attention to the safety related points and instructions.
NOTE The user should always seek to ever improve their IOL optimization. IOL personalized
and optimized data should be created through the analysis of pre-operative data obtained
with the device and the results of stable refraction tests performed 3 months after the
surgery.

- 2.40 sec. for REVO 60: 2.40 sec.
Topography - Safety Notes

- NOTE: Allow only well-trained operators to use the topography module
NOTE: Layers recognition is used for tracing.
NOTE: Fully examine the measured data for layer recognition results. In particular,
if the difference between the measurement values for the left and right eye is
significant or any problem is found in the anterior chamber during the preliminary
examination, check the tracing and/or reliability on the check screen. If the
measurement result is not conclusive, review the inspection result by performing
another measurement or inspection.
NOTE: When using data taken by this instrument for diagnosis or determination of
treatment, proceed carefully by taking measurements multiple times and/or
conducting other examinations.
CAUTION: When using the data taken by this instrument to select intraocular
lenses, thoroughly determine the selection by also examining cataract surgery
methods and other inspections. If incorrect measurement data is used to select
intraocular lenses, further surgery might be required.

OCT Topography is an optional feature. It is available as an upgrade purchased separately.
289 / 387
CAUTION: The wearing contact lenses (soft or hard) may have an effect on the
surface geometry of the cornea and thus the optics of the eye. Therefore, for
measurements conducted on wearers of contact lenses using SOCT topography
module, a rest period should be observed from the time the contact lens is removed
to the time of measurement. The required duration of the time from removal of the
lens to the time of measurement may vary individually and must be determined by
a qualified physician.
CAUTION : Use of eye drops prior to topography measurement may lead to v

incorrect results in the measurement of corneal curvature. The use of
tear drops substitute may impact the measured keratometry values.
CAUTION Do not perform any contact measurements or examinations in which the
eye is touched. They may result in incorrect readings, particularly for
biometry and corneal topography measurements. Contact
measurements or examinations should only be performed after the
patient has been measured with the SOCT.
CAUTION: When using the data taken by this instrument for refractive correction
and other inspections. Refractive correction surgery conducted according to
incorrect measurements or analysis results may result in further surgery or severe
complication such as keratectasia.
NOTE: Since simultaneous use of multiple devices can cause misdiagnosis or result
in a hazardous situation, exercise caution when using this instrument
NOTE: Fully examine the measured data for tracing results. In particular, if the
difference between measurement values for the left and right eyes is significant or
any problem is found on the anterior chamber during the preliminary examination,
check the tracing and/or reliability on the check screen. If the measurement result
is not conclusive, review the inspection result by performing measurement again or
performing another inspection.
NOTE: It may be difficult to trace the border when capturing an image of an eye
with opacity or malformation such as corneal disease, shallow anterior chamber,
aphakic eye, pseudophakic eye or dense cataract eye.
290 / 387
NOTE: The artifact may appear on the OCT image, but this does not indicate any
failure.
NOTE: When the measurement light enters the cornea, sclera, conjunctiva or
intraocular lens perpendicularly, a bright line appears in the depth direction.
NOTE: Ghost noise may occur in areas with strong reflection such as cornea, sclera,
conjunctiva and iris.
NOTE: When using the data taken by this instrument for diagnosis or determination
of treatment, proceed carefully by taking measurements multiple times and/or
conducting other examinations.
NOTE: When using this instrument to select intraocular lenses, thoroughly

determine the selection by also examining cataract surgery methods and
performing other inspections. If incorrect measurement data is used to select
intraocular lenses, further surgery might be required.
NOTE: When using the data taken by this instrument for refractive correction
and performing other inspections. Refractive correction surgery conducted
according to incorrect measurements or analysis results may result in further
surgery or severe complication such as keratectasia.

2. Ask the patient to look at the center of the green spot and blink freely if the sound
support is Mute or disabled. If required, use the large fixation target. See chapter 7.8
Fixation target change.
3. Select the Topography scan program.
Once the scan program is selected the topography acquire window is available.
Figure 281. Topography acquire window
While capturing the scan the following steps should be observed.

The cornea tomogram should be positioned within the range defined by the two horizontal
dashed lines.
Operator should make sure that the lids of the eye are not blocking or shadowing a
significant portion of the image in vertical meridians.
292 / 387
NOTE: The system automatically selects C-gate mode from top to bottom. In cases when the
ghost image touches the cornea (e.g. shallow anterior chamber) the user has to change the
C-Gate mode from bottom to top.
4. After the result is acquired, it is displayed in the Acceptance window. The operator should
verify the measurement reliability indexes. A measurement with poor measurement
reliability indicates an increased risk of measurement variability. Measurements with
poor reliability should be replaced.
5. Follow the procedure depending on the Acquisition mode.

Total Quality Factor

Total Quality Factor – a summary factor that determines whether the operator can trust the
measurement. The total quality factor is based on the values of all individual factors: CI, AAA,
PAA
Correlation Index – information about tomograms correlation in the measurements
OK [Accepted] Not correlated >87 %
! [Borderline] Unreliable, 86%> to >70%
NG [Not correlated] Not correlated to <69%

PAA – [Posterior Analyzed Area]

OK [Accepted] >63 %
! [Borderline] 63> to >41%
Artifact– this warning appears when on 3 consecutive scans the system detects places where
the recognition algorithm has uncertainty sections. This problem makes it possible to detect
artefacts relate to the close Eyelid, ghost signal from the iris, lack of signal due to long
eyelashes or decreasing the signal due opacity in the cornea.
Results for the Topography scan are not displayed for scans with poor quality in which an
algorithm failed. In this case, the scan should be repeated.
For clinical use, it is recommended for the user to take at least three corneal power scans and
calculate mean corneal power for further measurement variability reduction.

Keratoconus screening
KPI Value
Keratoconus indication
Values of indices
To classify the keratoconus occurrence in the examined cornea, a Keratoconus Prediction Index
(KPI) is calculated by the software after the examination is completed. KPI Result is displayed
in a table and it will determine whether keratoconus had been detected based on the indices.
303 / 387
20.4.4.1 KPI Result
This system can be used as a screening procedure to distinguish clinical keratoconus from other
corneal topographies. It may also aid in refining the clinical interpretation of topographic
maps. If the system detects a result a calculated KPI value greater than 0.23 or K2 greater than
38.5, it is indicative of keratoconus, which later is distinguished by the method of elimination.
See Figure 291 Keratoconus screening classification.
Keratoconus prediction index (KPI) is calculated by a combination of 8 topographic indices and
relies on a linear discriminant function. The indices DSI, OSI, CSI, SAI, K1, K2, IAI and AA are
described below.
Caution: KPI bases on a publication by Naoyuki Maeda and can only be treated as
supplementary information and cannot be treated as disease confirmation. Use for
reference only.
Source: Automated Keratoconus Screening with Corneal Topography Analysis by Naoyuki Maeda, Stephen D. Klyce, Michael K. Smolek,
and Hilary W. Thompson in 1994.
KPI is a result of linear function, calculated according to the following formula:

KPI = 0,30 + 0,01(–41,23 – 0,15DSI + 1,18OSI + 1,49CSI + 4,13SAI – 0,56K1 + 1,08K2 – 3,74IAI +
0,10AA)
KPI value is calculated on the basis of Quantitative Indices, which are the components of the
formula.
20.4.4.2 Definition of Quantitative Indices

DSI (Differential Sector Index) – the greatest difference in average power between any two
(out of eight) sectors
OSI (Opposite Sector Index) – the greatest difference of the average power in opposite
sectors
To calculate Differential Sector Index and Opposite Sector Index, the analyzed area is divided
into eight equal sectors. One of the sectors covers the area with the greatest power. Each
sector has a specific average power calculated by the system (see picture below).
Before the calculation of Differential Sector Index and Opposite Sector Index, the sectors are
rotated at an angle, until the average power of one of the sectors reaches the highest value
(Dmax).
304 / 387
OSI = Dmax - Dopposite
DSI = Dmax - Dmin
Dmax – average power value of the sector with maximum power

Dopposite – average power value of the sector which is opposite to the sector with maximum
power
Dmin – average power value of the other sector with minimum power
CSI (Central/Surrounding Index) – difference in the average area-corrected corneal power
between the central area and an annulus surrounding the
central area (see picture below)
Dsurround
Dcentral
CSI = Dcentral – Dsurround

SAI (Surface Asymmetry Index) – difference in corneal powers at every ring (except for
180⁰) over the entire cornea surface
K1 (Keratometry K1) – average maximum radius in 3 mm zone
K2 (Keratometry K2) – average minimum radius in 3 mm zone
IAI (Irregular Astigmatism Index) – experimentally selected value based on examinations

from a test database, within the normal range for healthy
eyes.
AA (Analyzed Area) – analyzed area of the examined cornea.
Classification of keratoconus screening is performed according to the following graph:

Pachymetry
The table displays a summary of pachymetry data. Calculation bases on Pachymetry and
Epithelium maps.
Definitions of pachymetry parameters:
- Central thickness – the corneal/epithelial thickness at the central point of the

Pachymetry/Epithelium Grid; displayed in micrometres [μm].
306 / 387
- Minimum (marked as) – minimum corneal/epithelial thickness within the area;
displayed in micrometres [μm].
- Median – thickness median; displayed in micrometres [μm].
- Minimum - Maximum – the difference between the minimum and median corneal/
epithelial thicknesses within the area; displayed in micrometres [μm].
- Min – Median – the difference between the minimum and median corneal/epithelial
thicknesses within the area; displayed in micrometres [μm].
Sector difference analysis:

- SN-IT – the difference between the average thickness in the Superior-Nasal and
Inferior-Temporal parts of the grid.
- S-I – the difference between the average thickness in the Superior and Inferior parts of
the grid.
- ST-IN – the difference between the average thickness in the Superior-Temporal and
Inferior-Nasal parts of the grid.
- T-N – the difference between the average thickness in the Temporal and Nasal parts
of the grid.
Map Types
Axial maps - Axial Power is a curvature radius map that defines the center of curvature on the
measurement axis. It is converted to refractive power using the refractive index for conversion
based on a paraxial calculation. This map represents the sphericity of the entire cornea, which
can be a useful indication of the refractive power of the cornea and the corneal shape. The
spherical cornea without astigmatism is displayed in one color in this map, which makes it is
easy to identify the normal cornea.
The picture below describes this solution graphically. Unlike the tangential radius, the axial
map always ends at the optical axis, and therefore the surface of the cornea should be
considered as one lens with radius different at each point. The alternative name of the sagittal
map is axial map.
307 / 387
Axial [Anterior] - an axial power map of the anterior surface. Refractive index: 1.3375.
Axial [Posterior] - an axial power map of the posterior surface. Refractive index: 1.376.
Tangential maps clearly define small or “instantaneous” curvature changes. It calculates each
measured point of data at a 90° “tangent” to its surface. Tangential maps provide a more
detailed description of the corneal shape and provide a clearer view of the size and shape of
the cone in a keratoconus patient, for instance. The ability to measure the size of the cone is
very helpful in determining the ideal lens design and optic zone size. Additionally, tangential
maps define the position of the treatment or effect of corneal reshaping and refractive surgery.
Tangential map is calculated on the basis of digitally recognized ring pattern reflected from the
surface of the cornea. It calculates the local curvature radius which gives very accurate
information about the shape of the cornea. In the case of spherical surface, all radii end at the
optical axis at the same point. If the surface has defects, then the radii can end at any place
and not on the axis.
From this point the cornea should be treated as an infinite set of small spherical lenses, where
each of them has a different radius length and origin.
The picture below shows the calculation of tangential map graphically.
Tangential map [Anterior] - a tangential power map of the anterior surface. Refractive index:
1.3375
Tangential map [Posterior]- a tangential power map of the posterior surface Refractive index:
1.376.
308 / 387
Refractive Power map [Kerato] calculates the focal length from Snell's law and the corneal
refractive power. This map uses only values from the anterior surface, but it also takes
refractive effect into account. It calculates corneal power according to Snell’s law of refraction
assuming a refractive index of 1.3375 to convert curvature into refractive power.
Refractive Power map [Anterior] - Refractive index of the cornea: 1.376. Calculate base on the
Snell’s law.
Refractive Power map [Posterior] – is calculated as difference between Refraction equivalent
power map and Refraction Power Anterior. Refractive index of the cornea: 1.376.
Refractive Power map [Total] - This map uses ray tracing to calculate the refractive power of
the cornea and the lens thickness formula. It takes into account how parallel light beams are
refracted according to the relevant refractive indices (1.0, 1.376 and 1.336), the exact location
of refraction and the slope of the surfaces. The location of refraction is a determinant of the
surface slope, since the anterior and posterior surfaces have slightly differing principal planes
due to corneal thickness. In this way the map takes the refractive effect, inclusion
Anterior/Posterior surface and the location of the principle planes into account. Its results are
more realistic than any other, but they will deviate from normal Simulated K values so they
cannot be used in conventional IOL formulas.
Net Map This map shows the optical power of the cornea based on two different refractive
indices, one for the anterior n=1.376 and for the posterior surface aqueous humour: 1.336, as
well as the sagittal curvature of each. These results are aggregated.
The equation used: Net power = [(1.376-1)/RAnt]*1000+[(1.336-1.376)/RPst]*1000
Axial True Net - a total power map of the anterior and posterior surfaces is calculated by the
lens thickness formula. It is calculated by adding the corneal thickness correction to the sum
of the refractive powers of the anterior and posterior surfaces. It considers how parallel light
beams are refracted according to the relevant refractive indexes 1.0, 1.376 and 1.336.
309 / 387
The equation used: kA=[(1.376-1)/RAnt] kP=[(1.336-1.376)/RPst]
CTP- Cornea Thickness at the Point
K = kA + kP –[(CTP/1.376)* kA *kP
Equivalent Keratometer This map was designed to consider the refractive effects of both the
anterior and the posterior surface. The map considers how parallel light beams are refracted
according to the relevant refractive indexes 1.0, 1.3375 and 1.336. The Equivalent keratometer
map condsiders effects refractive effect, inclusion Anterior/Posterior surface and the corneal
refractive index. The map calculates power according to Snell`s law using the refractive indices
of the corneal tissue and aqueous humour and aggregating the values for anterior and
posterior power. In this way it provides equivalent K-values that can be used in IOL formulas
that correct for n=1.3375.
Elevation Map indicates the difference obtained by subtracting the height of the reference
sphere (Best Fit Sphere) from the height of the cornea in 6 mm radius with least square
method.
Positive value: the measurement point of the cornea is above the reference sphere
Negative value: the measurement point of the cornea is below the reference sphere
Elevation Map [Anterior] Differences maps between the best-fit sphere in the anterior layer
and this layer.
Elevation Map [Posterior] Differences maps between the best-fit sphere in the posterior layer
and this layer.
Height map is a difference from tangent surface to highest point of the cornea.
Pachymetry map of the corneal thickness with vertical direction to the anterior surface of the
cornea. It allows visual capturing of the thin part of the cornea, providing extremely useful
information for refractive surgery.
Epithelium thickness map shows the corneal epithelium thickness map for examination. It
provides information for refractive lasik and Keratoconus patients.

21 CALIBRATION
To ensure system stability over time, before the first examination the topography module
automatically prompts for a daily validation test. The validation test is performed with the
calibration tool. The result of the validation test is compared with the stored value obtained
during the initial calibration to verify system stability. The limit of acceptable difference is ±0.15
D; if it is exceeded, the software will not allow the acquisition of topography scans. A warning
message with instructions for further actions is displayed on the screen.
Calibration procedure preparation

23 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING PROCEDURE

WARNING: All maintenance activities can only be made when the device is turned off
and unplugged from power supply socket.
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts inside the device. Any covers can be
removed only by authorized service staff.
WARNING: The main lens of the device should not contact the patient's eye or face.
NOTE: It is not allowed to make any modifications of the SOCT.
During the whole period of use, SOCT does not need any special maintenance procedures. The
outside surfaces of device should be kept tidy and free of dust and cleaned using mild cleaning
solutions.
Take care not to get water or any other liquid inside the device. For hygienic reasons, after each
examination the chinrest and forehead support should be disinfected.
Routine Cleaning
a) Cleaning of the device casing and equipment of the ME System (PC, monitor LCD, printer,
keyboard and mouse PC)
Clean the casing with soft cloth. Use only cleaners dedicated for cleaning of electronic
equipment. Clean periodically or when needed.
b) Cleaning of the applied parts (forehead and chinrest support)
The applied parts should be disinfected after examination of each and every patient. Use
soft cloth, wet with alcohol-free solution for cleaning and disinfection of alcohol-sensitive
medical-equipment surfaces or alcohol-free wipes for disinfecting of alcohol sensitive
medical-equipment surfaces.
The applied parts are to be disinfected also after longer period of no use.
353 / 387
c) Cleaning of the lens
The lens should be cleaned sporadically, when contamination of lens surface is observable.
For lens cleaning, use only cleaners applied in optics, that do not cause scratching of the
lens. Clean the lens softly with little force. It comes with a lens cap to cover it when not in
use. You should clean it to remove dust and oily smudges sporadically to ensure true
tomogram images are obtained. You may use an alcohol prep swab or cotton swab dipped
in isopropyl alcohol. Wipe dry with a soft, non-lining cloth or tissue.
d) Dust Prevention: When not using the SOCT, make sure the cloth dust cover is placed over
the unit.
NOTE: Periodically one has to check if there are no mechanical damages to the device,
damages to any of the cables and fuses.
Software maintenance activities

To keep software in good condition user should perform below activities as minimum:
1. Windows automatic updates should be checked periodically at least once a month. In
order to do the update: Enable automatic updates, wait until system finishes the update
process. During the process do not acquire examination. Once the system finishes the
update process, disable automatic updates.
2. If it is not possible to have automatic updates turned on (for security reasons or internet
availability), system administrator should manually keep operating system updated.
System administrator should check regularly for new updates at least once a month.
3. Installed antivirus software should be updated at least once a week.
4. For OPTOPOL's software upgrades and patches OPTOPOL will inform users through its
distributors.
Hard Disk Defragmentation

Defragmentation of the OCT PC hard disk becomes necessary when you delete, analyze old scans
regularly. The process of recalculation, deleting data and then writing again to the hard disk
fragments the hard drive, which degrades system performance over time. To maintain peak
performance, we recommend that you defragment the hard disk regularly.
NOTE: Since hard disk defragmentation usually requires several hours to complete, we
recommend that you start defragmentation at the end of the day and let the process
354 / 387
run overnight. If defragmentation is not complete in the morning, it does no harm to
stop defragmentation and continue using the instrument.
To defragment the hard drive, follow these steps:

1. Close the SOCT software.
2. Click Windows Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter. The
Select Drive dialog appears.
3. Select the desired drive e.g. D: and click OK to begin defragmentation.

24 NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Networking configuration procedure is described in the Installation Manual provided on the USB
Installation Disc.
Network connection configuration

SOCT network
SOCT software allows to locate examination data on external network locations or HDD. Besides
that, it is possible to share the database table from SOCT device PC. There is unlimited number of
PCs connected to the same LAN which have access to SOCT database. All applications connected
to server database should have the same settings in setup database tab (SOCT device software,
viewing stations). Efficiency of work is limited by network structure and PC performance (OS
Windows required). It is recommended to use minimum 1000 Mbps network structure. There is
no additional synchronization button, this mechanism is done in the background.
Server application (e.g. MySQL, firebird) can also be installed on SOCT PC, in that case it will have
to be on to share the database with viewing stations.
NOTE: Database tables storage has to be done with a use of server software e.g. MySQL.

Networking functionality restrictions
358 / 387
When software is configured as Client, there are some limitations applied to its functionality:
- Only client connected to OCT device can perform new examinations.
- In case specific patient’s file is used on any PC connected to database, there is no possibility
to access this patient’s data from any other PC. ‘Selected patient is occupied by another
user’ message is displayed. It means it is not possible to edit, review, perform, remove,
analyze, import, export patients on more than one PC at that same time.
- Users’ accounts modification and settings can be changed from any software application
connected to database on Server.
- All viewing stations need to have access to examination data folders (sharing enabled)
- The sleep mode option on the review station's Windows system should be disabled. If the
computer enters sleep mode, communication with the SOCT application is lost. Using the
SOCT application after starting up the review station requires restarting the application.
NOTE: Internal network settings should be adjusted by IT personnel to provide free

access and communication between folders. Be aware of firewall exceptions for
SOCT software
NOTE: When sharing database with viewing stations it is mandatory to share data
folders in the network and allow other users read/write rights.

29 TROUBLESHOOTING
Q1: The tomogram images have good quality,
but there is a shadow at horizontal
tomogram image (left image) on the left
or right edge and the image is diagonal.
A1: The scanning beam is not centered on

the pupil in the horizontal direction. This effect is observed mostly for very small pupils
and wide scanning ranges. Grab and move the tomogram to left or right to obtain the best
image quality.
Q2: The tomogram images have good quality, but the horizontal retina cross section image is
diagonal.
A2: See A1
Q3: The tomogram images have good

quality, but there is shadow at
vertical tomogram image (right
image) on the left or right edge and
image is diagonal.
A3: The scanning beam is not centered on the pupil in the vertical direction. This effect is
observed mostly for very small pupils and wide scanning ranges. Grab and move slightly
tomogram (in this case in right direction) on Vertical window right to obtain equal image
saturation.
Q4: The tomogram images have good quality, but the vertical tomogram image (right image) is
diagonal.
A4: See A3
369 / 387
Q5: Live tomogram images are visible, but the image
is fuzzy and upside down.
A5: This means the C-gate position is too far from optimal position. Move the C-gate position
(scroll or grab) closer to the patient. The retina cross section image will go down on the
window and then up again in a straight orientation.
Q6: After starting the software communication errors are displayed.
A6: Make sure that the scanning head finished self-test before you run the application.
Q7: Software displays massage “No signal detected”.
A7: Run the “Skantest_lt” (START/ALL PROGRAMS/SOCT/Skantest_lt) application [Open]

communication and run [STRAT] calibration procedure.
Q8: The tomograms images have bad quality.
A8: 1. Check cleanliness of the objective lens. Clean it if necessary. If it is not changed go to
point 2. Make sure that system calibrates itself before the first examination.
Q9. The SOCT application is connected with the device but I get error messages when I open the
Acquire tab or during work in Acquire tab.
A9. If Fast Speed USB 3.0 Connection is not available in the system, Aviva camera is not able to
work in required mode. Verify points below:
1. Make sure that SOCT USB cable is connected to 3.0 USB port
2. Verify if the USB cable is protected from any unintentional tension, movement or push.
Protect physically USB plug from any loose.
370 / 387
3. Unplug and plug again the USB cable. Make sure there is no play (slack) on the port. Wait
a while until system recognizes the devices again.
4. Verify if the system has properly installed Universal Serial Bus controller 3.0 hub Start-
>Control panel->System->Device manager->Universal Serial Bus controller.
5. Verify if the system has properly installed all devices Control panel->System->Device
manager. There should not be any exclamation sign.
Q10: During Acquisition of tomograms OCT live windows become black.

A10: See the status of the device in left bottom corner of the OCT image. In case of error restart
application. If the problems occur again see A9.
Q11: I have no connection to remote database.

A11: Verify procedure of connection according to user manual again. Make sure network settings
are proper. Verify if Host name /IP is properly entered in all software applications connected to
server.
Q12: The analyze window is displayed only in a quarter of the screen.
A12: Verify the screen and Windows resolution. Go to Control Panel=>Appearance and
Personalization=>Display and select “Larger – 150%”

Radio Interference
The REVO FC 130 has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
381 / 387
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.
a Field strength from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast
cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to
fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in with the SOCT is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the SOCT should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the SOCT.
b Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than [V1] V/m.
Recommended separation distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment

and the SOCT
The SOCT is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled. The customer or the user of the SOCT can help prevent electromagnetic interference
by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
(transmitters) and the SOCT as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.
