Hybrid Technology Adds Precision, Detail and Flexibility

The most demanding retinal cases deserve the best in comprehensive diagnostic assessment. SPECTRALIS® combines the best of confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO) and spectral-domain OCT (SD-OCT). Simultaneous fundus imaging and spectral-domain OCT offer high quality images with the certainty of knowing location.

Multi-modality imaging enables a complete view of the vitreous, retina and choroid, enabling clinicians to combine information from six different modes to assess the eye: FA, ICG angiography, autofluorescence, red-free, infrared and Spectral-Domain OCT.

Looking for Small Changes with Precision Eye Tracking

Whether it is glaucoma, pre-op surgical assessment or adjusting anti-VEGF therapy, confidently detecting and assessing small changes may change your treatment decision. In diagnostic imaging, motion artifact is the number one problem limiting confident detection of small change.

SPECTALIS® solves this problem by using cSLO technology to track the eye and guide OCT to the selected location. TruTrack™ Eye Tracking comes from a long history of image alignment know-how, validated in longitudinal studies such as the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study.

Not only are the scans guided on first examination, but TruTrack™ automatic retinal recognition technology enables follow-up examinations to be scanned in the same exact location without relying on subjective operator judgment.

Finely Detailed Images with Heidelberg Noise Reduction™

In the new era of spectral-domain OCT, fast scanning speed is not enough. Just like Dolby® noise reduction eliminates static in sound recordings, Heidelberg Noise Reduction™ technology eliminates speckle (static) in images, revealing fine detail in the retinal layers.

Combining eye tracking with noise filtering technology enables the SPECTRALIS® to produce stunning new images of all of the retinal layers. New anatomical structures are already being uncovered which may lead to a better understanding of disease and help guide therapeutic decisions.

Flexible, Practical and a Safe Investment for the Future

As with all Heidelberg Engineering products, the SPECTRALIS® is a flexible, upgradeable and multi-application platform. Three different models with either 2, 5 or 6 imaging modes are available so the clinician can select the right combination for their practice needs.

Upgradeable technology has been the hallmark of Heidelberg Engineering. It is the only scanning laser company which has stood behind multiple generations of instruments without obsolescing data acquired from earlier versions.

Enhancing Practice Workflow and Clinician Efficiency

Spectral-Domain OCT is adding volumes of new information. In fact, 3-D volume scans are becoming the standard imaging method for assessing the retina. Printed reports cannot display 3-D data and movies the way a computer monitor can, so Spectralis® is pre-installed with remote viewing capabilities. Clinicians are able to review images at their desk and laptop, and even display them on large monitors for educating patients.

Multi-modality imaging on a single platform means that patients get all modes at a single point, increasing throughput and enabling on-the-spot changes when discovering unexpected pathology.

Six Imaging Modalities:

  • Spectral-domain OCT
  • Fluorescein angiography
  • ICG angiography
  • Autofluorescence
  • Infrared
  • Red-free

Three instruments to match your practice needs:

  • Spectralis® HRA+OCT - 6 modes: SD-OCT, FA, ICGA, AF, IR, RF
  • Spectralis® HRA - 5 modes: FA, ICGA, AF, IR, RF
  • Spectralis® OCT - 2 modes: SD-OCT, IR

The 2-mode and 5-mode versions can be upgraded to 6 modes at a later date as your practice needs change.
