Description
Revolutionizing Surgical Planning: ARGOS® Biometer
The ARGOS® Biometer with Image Guidance by Alcon® is a next-generation swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) device designed to optimize cataract surgery with precision, efficiency, and seamless integration. It is engineered to simplify workflows and deliver superior surgical outcomes.
Key Features
Faster, Easier, Better Workflow
- Unmatched Measurement Speed:
- Captures biometry data in less than 1 second, reducing patient discomfort and saving valuable clinic time.
- 1.5x faster scanning speed than competitive devices, including the IOLMaster® 700.
- High acquisition rates, even for challenging eyes such as those with grade 4+ cataracts.
- Efficient Workflow Integration:
- Integrated with Alcon Vision Planner for automated surgical planning.
- Enables seamless transfer of surgical plans to the operating room, reducing transcription errors and enhancing accuracy.
Advanced Imaging with SS-OCT Technology
- High-Resolution Imaging:
- Provides detailed angle-to-angle and cornea-to-retina imaging for precise alignment and accurate measurements.
- The Enhanced Retinal Visualization mode increases the signal at the retina by up to 10x, enabling axial length measurements through dense cataracts.
- Segmented Axial Length Technology:
- Calculates axial length as the sum of four segments for improved refractive prediction accuracy.
- Ideal for challenging cases such as deep anterior chambers, thick lenses, and highly myopic eyes.
Enhanced Accuracy and Precision
- OCT-Enhanced Keratometry:
- Provides keratometry measurements rivaling industry leaders for more reliable IOL selection.
- Reduces refractive surprises by combining biometric data with predictive tools.
- Astigmatism Management:
- Features built-in arcuate nomograms for precise astigmatic corrections.
- Supports sophisticated IOL calculations, including Barrett formulas for toric and post-refractive cases.
Patient and Surgeon-Centered Design
- Optimized Patient Comfort:
- Single-reference image flash minimizes patient exposure to bright lights.
- Ergonomic design ensures the patient can sit comfortably during measurements.
- Real-Time OCT Guidance:
- Monitors patient alignment and ensures optimal positioning before automatic measurement capture.
- Reduces measurement variability and enhances confidence in the data.
Seamless Connectivity
- Smart Data Integration:
- DICOM-compatible for easy data sharing with surgical systems like LenSx® Laser and ORA SYSTEM®.
- Networked capabilities allow one-touch remote planning through the SMARTCataract cloud application.
