The Scanmate Flex is a multi-purpose computer based ultrasonic diagnostic system for ophthalmic application, intended to both visualize the interior of the eye by means of ultrasound and to make measurements inside the eye, including the measurement of axial length for determination of IOL Power. The system consists of three main components: an interface module with integrated probe holder, one or more ultrasonic probes, and the Scanmate software application.
An ultrasound imaging transducer that is a hand-held device moved over the intact surface of a patient's eye during imaging applications involving the examination of the lens. It may include single or multiple element transducer assembly configurations that convert electric voltages into an ultrasound beam. Typically used with coupling gels to ensure adequate contact with the patient's eye it steers, focuses and detects the ultrasound beam and resulting echoes mechanically or electronically. This group of devices typically includes ultrasound imaging transducers used with A-mode scanning capabilities. This is a reusable device.
