SPECTRA IRIS by KEELER
1. INDICATIONS FOR USE
This device is intended to be used only by suitably trained and authorised healthcare
professionals.
CAUTION: Federal Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a
physician or practitioner.
Intended use / purpose of instrument
The Spectra Iris is indicated for examining the fundus; specifically the posterior segment
where a wider field of view is needed in order to aid in the screening and diagnosis of retinal
pathology including, but not limited to, lesions such as choroidal melanomas, papilloedema,
retinopathy of prematurity, glaucomatous disc cupping, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive
retinopathy, retinal detachments and also help the practitioner to better understand where the
lesion is located on the retina in relation to anatomical features such as the disc.
2. SAFETY
2.1 PHOTOTOXICITY
CAUTION: The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous.
The longer the duration of exposure, the greater the risk of ocular
damage. Exposure to light from this instrument when operated at
maximum intensity will exceed the safety guideline after 3 hours 24
minutes. Testing was completed with a 20D, 55mm diameter Volk lens.
While no acute optical radiation hazards have been identified for slit
lamps, we recommend keeping the intensity of the light reaching the
patient’s retina to the minimum possible for the respective diagnosis.
Children, people with aphakia and people suffering from eye conditions
are most at risk. An increased risk may also occur if the retina is exposed
to the same or a similar device with a visible light source within 24 hours.
This applies, in particular, if the retina has been photographed with a
flashbulb in advance.
Keeler Ltd shall on request, provide the user with a graph showing the
relative spectral output of the instrument.
