๐ Heidelberg Engineering has announced that the FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for its SPECTRALIS Optical Coherence Tomography-Angiography (OCTA) Module with SHIFT technology. This advances module is designed to significantly reduce image acquisition time, enhancing efficiency in clinical settings.
๐ฉโ๐ป The initial version of the SPECTRALIS OCTA Module received FDA clearance in September 2018. In March 2022, SHIFT technology was introduced, allowing clinicians to switch between three OCT scan speeds. The latest enhancement, integrating SHIFT technology, is reported to cut image acquisition time by 50% while maintaining a high lateral resolution of 5.7 ฮผm/pix.
๐ Heidelberg Engineering has equipped this module with a more powerful OCT engine, updated graphics processing technology, and optimized software, ensuring improved performance and image quality.
