Baxter International today announced the launch of digital image capture capability for eye exams using its existing Welch Allyn PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope.
The iExaminer Pro System adds a key technology to routine eye exams, designed to help advance healthcare professionals' ability to examine and diagnose the eye health of patients.
The PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope with iExaminer Pro System adds the ability to connect a smart device to capture images for further examination and enables clinicians to move quickly from an optical exam to adding digital image capture.
When used with the iExaminer Pro App, clinicians can securely save and share eye images for tracking and trending and initiate more informed consultations with specialists.
The iExaminer Pro System has been in use with Baxter's Welch Allyn MacroView Plus Otoscope since 2021. The addition of digital image capture capability for eye exams represents the company's continued commitment to using connected devices to help improve patient outcomes via routine physical exams.
The PanOptic Plus and MacroView Plus tools offer clinicians bigger views compared to standard ophthalmoscopes and otoscopes, plus additional key features such as long-lasting LED lamps and DuraShock technology for durability.
The new offering is now available in the U.S. and will be showcased at the upcoming American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference & Exhibition (Oct. 20-24) and American Academy of Family Physicians Family Medicine Experience conference (Oct. 26-29).
