1.2 INTENDED USE
Volk Pictor Prestige is a medical digital camera that is used with dedicated optics modules
intended to capture images and video of the fundus of the eye and surface of the eye.
Volk Pictor Prestige Camera with Volk Pictor Prestige Retina Module is intended to capture
digital images and video of the fundus of the human eye.
Volk Pictor Prestige Camera with Volk Pictor Prestige Anterior Module is intended to
capture digital images and video of the surface of the human eye and surrounding areas.
1.3 CONTRAINDICATION
Volk Pictor Prestige is classified as Group 2 based on standard ISO 15004-2:2007. The daily
usage time and maximum allowed number of pulses presented below is calculated on the
basis of optical classification results.
WARNING!
The light emitted from this instrument is potentially hazardous. The longer the
duration of exposure and the greater the number of pulses, the greater the risk
of ocular damage. Exposure to light from this instrument when operated at
maximum output will exceed the safety guideline after:
Pulsed light
• 6300 still images / eye / day for Pictor Retina Module
• 250 still images / eye / day for Pictor Anterior Module
Or alternatively continuous light
• 90 min video recording / eye / day for Pictor Retina Module
• 8 min video recording / eye / day for Pictor Anterior Module
Please note that the exposure time in video recording and the number of pulses in still
imaging from all light sources are cumulative and additive. If the intensity of any of the
light sources is reduced to half of the maximum output, the exposure time or number of
pulses for that light source to reach the exposure safety guideline is doubled.
Since prolonged intense light exposure can cause ocular damage, the use of the device
for ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged, and the brightness setting
should not exceed what is needed to provide clear visualization of the target structures.
Infants, persons with aphakia or diseased eyes will be at greater risk of ocular damage. 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.

2. DEVICE OVERVIEW
Volk Pictor Prestige is a modular ophthalmic camera that is designed for use in a medical
environment. It is intended to capture digital images and video of the fundus of the eye
and surface of the eye for documentation and consultation. Pictor Camera is used with
interchangeable optics modules Pictor Retina Module and Pictor Anterior Module. Optics
modules are attached to the camera with bayonet connectors.
Pictor Camera has a WLAN module which enables wireless data transfer to a PC. Captured
images and recorded videos can also be transferred to a PC via USB connection when the
camera is placed on Pictor Charging Station. In addition, Pictor Charging Station is a dual
charger used for charging the battery inside the camera and spare battery.
Pictor Retina Module is intended for non-mydriatic fundus imaging. In non-mydriatic
imaging no mydriasis is needed because infrared light is used for targeting the fundus and
white light is flashed when an image is taken. The pupil does not respond to the infrared
light so examination is convenient for the patient. With small pupils it is recommended to
use mydriatic drops. Pictor Retina Module has nine internal fixation targets for the patient to
fixate on during imaging. The middle fixation target provides a macula-centred image.
Pictor Anterior Module is intended for imaging the surface of the eye and surrounding areas.
Pictor Anterior Module has two light sources for imaging: white and cobalt blue. Cobalt blue
light enables capturing of fluorescent images. There are four focus windows to focus the
image.
NOTE!
The device may only be operated by persons who have been properly trained or
who have the required knowledge and experience to do so. The device may only be
used in accordance with its intended use.
