The manual does not explicitly describe the process of backing up data from the Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT 500 to an external hard drive. However, it does mention archiving data to a network-attached storage device or keeping paper records as a backup. It also provides instructions for exporting audit log files, which may be useful for data backup. To export audit log files:
1. Log on as an administrator. 2. Click Tools > Export Audit Log File. 3. In the Browse For Folder window, select the destination folder on the external hard drive. 4. Click Save to export the log as a .zip file.
For a full data backup, it is recommended to consult Zeiss service personnel for proper procedures.

How do I measure the center thickness on OCTA on Zeiss 5000?
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
February 10, 2025
The Zeiss CIRRUS HD-OCT 500 measures central corneal thickness (CCT) using OCT imaging. The device provides pachymetry scans for this purpose. To measure CCT:
1. Use the Pachymetry Scan mode available on the CIRRUS HD-OCT 500. 2. Ensure proper alignment by centering the scan lines correctly. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to capture the scan. 4. The device will generate a measurement, which may differ slightly from ultrasound pachymetry.
OCT devices generally measure thinner than ultrasound pachymetry, with a reported mean difference of approximately -9.06 μm.

5-10 Patient Preparation cáÖìêÉ=RJNM==réÇ~íáåÖ=m~íáÉåí=a~í~ Patient Preparation In preparation for all patient visits, first clean Instrument Surfaces and adjust table height. 1. Wipe the chin rest and forehead rest with an alcohol pad, and allow the assembly to dry. 2. Adjust the table so the embossed line on the ocular cover is approximately at the same height as the patient’s eye.
5-11 Patient Preparation the internal lens into position (you may hear a click while this occurs) and dim the illumination to avoid pupillary constriction by default. The patient’s exam experience with the CIRRUS HD-OCT is normally brief and comfortable. An experienced operator can acquire several scans from each eye in the space of 5–7 minutes.
5-12 Patient Preparation CAUTION: The operator should check that the patient is not holding on to the instrument before or during tests. Although movement of the motorized chinrest is slow, giving plenty of warning for patients to remove their fingers, there is potential for fingers to be squeezed and possibly injured if left in the area shown below.
Page 71
5-13 Patient Preparation You will begin to see an image once the patient is positioned in the chinrest. The image may be poorly resolved until properly focused (see "Acquiring Scans" on page 6-1). Alignment progresses through a series of steps, although the order in which many of the steps are performed (and whether they are repeated) will vary depending on the cooperativeness of the patient (e.g., whether patients can fixate steadily at a requested location, opacity of their eye, etc.).

Posterior Segment Scans Posterior Segment Scans CIRRUS OCT Angiography CIRRUS OCT Angiography is a method that uses differences between B-scans to generate contrast associated with motion, in particular the motion of blood through the vasculature. CIRRUS OCT Angiography can be subject to several of the same artifacts seen in OCT structural imaging, and may also have some artifacts particular to this type of imaging.
Posterior Segment Scans Macula The scans used for viewing the macula are: Macular Cube 200x200 and Macular Cube 512x128. Macular Cube 200x200 This scan generates a cube of data through a 6 mm square grid by acquiring a series of 200 horizontal scan lines each composed of 200 A-scans and a central horizontal HD B-scan.
Posterior Segment Scans the scan pattern. In addition, the scan pattern overlay consists of concentric rings to assist in the alignment of the optic disc (see Figure 6-17). Optic Disc Cube 200x200 Integration For an integrated view, both the Macular Cube scan and Optic Disc Cube scan are used. Macular and Optic Disc Cube Scans For an integrated view, the Macular Cube (512x128 mm or 200x200 mm) and Optic Disc Cube (200x200 mm) scans are generated by combining a series of A-scans taken at varying...

The OCT beam scans in an arc to allow the curved cornea to better fit into the 2mm scan depth. This will cause the cornea to appear flat in the display during alignment and acquisition.
6-13 Anterior Segment Scans cáÖìêÉ=SJT==^ÅèìáêÉ=ëÅêÉÉåI=ea=^åÖäÉ Guidelines for HD Angle Scan Acquisition • For an HD Angle scan, you may need to use the external fixation device if the patient has difficulty fixating without the internal fixation target, which is not in view when the limbus of the scan eye is optimally exposed.
6-14 Anterior Segment Scans HD Cornea Scan This (anterior segment) scan generates a single high–definition scan with a depth of 2.0 mm that has a wider field of view than the Anterior Segment 5 Line Raster. The scan uses 20 B-scans, each composed of 1024 A scans. The scan is 9.0 mm in length when oriented horizontally and has a depth of 2.0 mm.
6-15 Anterior Segment Scans • Click the center of the pupil and use the X-Y and Z controls to center the scan on the corneal vertex, positioning the anterior corneal surface to the upper red line in the B-scan viewport as shown in Figure 6-8.
6-16 Anterior Segment Scans Guidelines for Wide Angle-to-Angle Acquisition • Attach the external Anterior Chamber lens to the instrument lens mount, see "Anterior Chamber and Cornea External Lenses" on page 6-7. • Instruct the patient to fixate on the center of the fixation target even though it may not appear to be in focus.
6-17 Anterior Segment Scans cáÖìêÉ=SJNM==^ÅèìáêÉ=ëÅêÉÉåI=m~ÅÜóãÉíêó Guidelines for Pachymetry Scan Acquisition The Pachymetry scan is similar to the HD Cornea scan, but you must align two scans rather than one. • Attach the external Cornea lens to the instrument lens mount, see "Anterior Chamber and Cornea External Lenses"...
6-18 Anterior Segment Scans • The horizontal B-scan is correctly positioned when it fits between the two red lines on the viewport with the anterior corneal surface aligned with the upper red line, as shown in Figure 6-10. NOTE: Minimize eyelash and eye interference as much as possible.

6-26 Acquire Screen and Controls For Optic Disc Cube 200x200 scans, it is not necessary to precisely center the optic disc in the scan image because the analysis algorithm can correctly place the Calculation Circle around the optic disc even when it is not well centered. Though it is sufficient to keep the optic disc within the outer dashed circle, it is best to center the scan on the optic disc as En Face well as possible.
6-27 Acquire Screen and Controls retinal tracking system tracks eye movement and enables tracking of the current scan to the position of a prior scan. The FastTrac retinal tracking system on CIRRUS HD-OCT uses multiple channels of concurrent imaging to monitor the motion of the eye in real–time.
6-28 General Acquire Procedure • Enhance Live Scan allows you to adjust the polarization (X,Y–offsets) of posterior segment live scans. Associated up and down arrow buttons enable you to adjust each manually. NOTE: HD Angle scans are not aligned to the corneal vertex. NOTE: If a button or menu option does not appear on the Acquisition screen for your current scan selection then that function is not available for the current scan.

6-29 General Acquire Procedure 9. Adjust the region of the iris visible in the Iris Viewport. Typically, make coarse adjustments using the X-Y controls (that move the chinrest) as needed until the pupil is visible. 10.Focus the iris image using the controls to the right of the viewport. For focusing, primarily use the Z controls.

Criteria for Image Acceptance CIRRUS OCT Angiography Acceptance Criteria When reviewing CIRRUS OCT Angiography Scans for acceptability, the following should be considered: • Signal Quality • Decorrelation Tails • Segmentation Errors Each of these is discussed in the sections which follow. Signal Quality CIRRUS OCT Angiography is more sensitive to signal quality than structural OCT imaging.

This creates a signal that is below the original motion, but caused by the motion, and therefore is always found posterior to the en face original signal.

Page 120
7-10 Criteria for Image Acceptance the B-scan (see Figure 7-8, below). It is always important to examine the segmentation to confirm the presence or absence of flow is associated with the layers of interest. Figure provides an example where the layer that should be avascular shows a bright area. Examination of the B-scan demonstrates that the drusen at this location has pushed the segmentation up into the hyper-reflective outer plexiform layer, and any bright signal detected at this location is likely due to ordinary inner retinal vasculature.
7-11 Criteria for Image Acceptance Anterior Segment Acceptance Criteria General Anterior Chamber, Wide Angle-to-Angle, HD Cornea, HD Angle, and Pachymetry scans are corrected to account for beam scanning geometry and refraction on the corneal surfaces. These corrections are most accurate when acquired corneal scans are centered on the corneal vertex, which generates a strong central reflection line on the live OCT image.

If you have not created a custom view previously, the square will be blank. If you have previously created a custom view, your previous view will contain the last custom view you create.
Posterior Segment Posterior Segment Posterior Segment features are viewed and measured by accessing the following CIRRUS HD-OCT analyses. If you are unsure as to which scans need to be acquired in order to access the appropriate analysis Macular Thickness Analysis The CIRRUS Macular Thickness Analysis (MTA) provides interactive scan images as well as the Fundus image with a scan cube overlay as shown in Figure 8-3.
Posterior Segment CIRRUS software identifies the Fovea location automatically by looking for the reduced reflectivity below the retina. You can also change the Fovea location manually (see "ETDRS Position" on page 8-7), which will update the data table and the ETDRS grid thickness measurements.
Posterior Segment The thickness grid also moves in conjunction with the repositioning of the ETDRS Grid position on the overlay, as shown in Figure 8-4. ETDRS Grid position moved Thickness grid moves in conjunction with ETDRS Grid cáÖìêÉ=UJQ=qÜáÅâåÉëë=dêáÇ=jçîÉãÉåí This interactive analysis screen gives you several options to view patient data. Use the button tools to line up the slice navigators with ETDRS Grid position and vice versa.
Page 131
Posterior Segment values will also change. The position of the Fovea and the center of the ETDRS grid appear below the grid. In this figure, the Fovea is located at the intersection of slice 253 and 64. The colors of the ILM–RPE color bar represent the depth in micrometers, ranging from 0 (blue) to 350 (white) in increments of 17.5 µm for each bar.

If you mouse over the buttons, their function appears in the form of a tooltip. The following paragraphs describe the additional features available on the Macular Thickness Analysis screen. •...
8-11 Posterior Segment Note that when you mouse over a line, it “pops,” or becomes thicker. The boundary lines you trace will never break. However, they will not cross each other. The buttons (shown at left) enable you to copy changes from one slice to the next slice or to the prior slice Buttons 1 and 4 allow you to move through the layers.
8-12 Posterior Segment Manual Selection Should you decide that the current scan does not have the best signal strength or that it was taken in a position away from the center and, therefore, would not be a good match you can manually choose a different scan using the manual selection process. This option is also available in •...
8-13 Posterior Segment Macular Registration Automatic Registration registers CIRRUS automatically the fundus images from the two dates so that the images you see are synchronized to show the equivalent location of the retina in each image. In addition, the color–coded thickness maps for the two images, as well as the thickness difference map, are displayed.
Page 136
8-14 Posterior Segment Select Review Registration to view the manually adjusted overlay. Use the slider above the overlay, as needed, to change the transparency to see more of Image 1 or Image 2. By moving the slider back and forth, you can see if blood vessels or other features from one image align with the identical features in the other image.

Image 2 is the image from the most recent visit.
8-16 Posterior Segment Synchronized Data Review Once the images are synchronized, you can manipulate the data on one exam image, while the identical movements are tracked on the second exam for a side by side comparison. When the sync lock is selected you can adjust the slice navigator or image slider bar to simultaneously move through the images and view the data.
8-17 Posterior Segment cáÖìêÉ=UJNN=j~Åìä~ê=qÜáÅâåÉëë=lr=^å~äóëáë If the fovea is not found, the fovea location and measurement circles are centered in the 6 mm square and the calculations are made based on this position. The background Fundus image is not on the main analysis screen. To see the Fundus image, double–click a thickness map or OCT Fundus image to see the full page view, which will have the Fundus image in the background.
8-18 Posterior Segment RPE Elevation Considerations The RPE Analysis view displays an RPE Elevation Map as an overlay on the Fundus image. The transparency can be adjusted using the transparency slider. The color coding aids in identifying bumps and discontinuities in the RPE. The map shows circles corresponding to 3 mm and 5 mm in diameter centered on the fovea.
8-19 Posterior Segment The possible impact of such pathologies on the analysis can be taken into account by reviewing the individual B-scans and determining where areas of RPE elevation overlap with them. As with all retinal pathology, check the retinal segmentation in questionable cases. View the horizontal tomogram and check the black and lavender lines indicating the borders of the RPE elevation measurement.
Page 142
8-20 Posterior Segment addition, poor signal strength, pigmentation of the Fundus, and peripapilliary atrophy can occasionally cause misleading sub–RPE illumination findings. To edit sub–RPE illumination: 1. Open an edit screen by clicking the Segmentation Tool (shown at left). The screen displays the sub–RPE illumination segmentation as a colored region on the sub–RPE slab.

The large scan image on the right corresponds to the highlighted blue thumbnail and the highlighted blue scan line.
8-52 Anterior Segment The values S-I are calculated by subtracting the average value in the I sector at the specified distance from the center, from the average value in the S sector, at the corresponding distance. Likewise, The values SN-SI are calculated by subtracting the average value in the SI sector at the specified distance from the center, from the average value in the SN sector, at the corresponding distance.
8-53 Anterior Segment NOTE: Vertical distances on the tomogram reliably show tissue thickness and tissue refractive index. Horizontal distances cannot be measured quantitatively on these tomograms. When applied to Anterior Segment scans, the Ruler measures only vertical distances, with the scale factor set appropriately for measurements within the cornea. NOTE: The Ruler is calibrated for measuring corneal tissue only, based on the refractive index of the cornea.

Overview CIRRUS OCT Angiography Presets The CIRRUS HD-OCT Angiography and Montage Angio analysis screen includes 12 pre-defined angiography presets, which are the same. The CIRRUS HD-OCT ONH Angiography includes 4 predefined angiography presets. These slabs are discussed below. Larger images of each, and a further discussion of the algorithms used to define their boundaries, can be found in Table 9-4.
Page 199
Overview NOTE: The Avascular slab was constructed with the goal of bounding the parts of the retina that are expected to have no vasculature in normal anatomy. There are many situations for which there may appear to be bright patches or areas in this image that are not necessarily due to pathology, including: Errors in segmentation may cause there to be apparent vasculature.
Page 200
Overview • Sub-RPE: The OCT Analysis uses a predefined Sub-RPE slab. The Sub-RPE slab uses a Pixel option that can calculate the pixel values or maximum pixel values. The Sub-RPE preset default Project type MAX project method is defined as follows: Top: RPE + 29 μm Bottom: RPE + 49 μm NOTE: This preset is not available for ONH Angiography.
Overview You can use custom presets to choose an inner boundary and an outer boundary, and then shift them to visualize the vasculature between any of the defined layers. B-Scan Settings Based on the selected slab (Current View), allows you to step through the scan by dragging the segmentation lines, offsetting the outer and/or inner segmentation boundaries, in μm.

Appendix Appendix A: Normative Data Results Overview This chapter may be used in conjunction with the referenced analyses to provide normative references for OCT results. RNFL and Macula Normative Databases: Diversified The CIRRUS HD-OCT RNFL and Macula Normative database contains normative data for retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular thickness from healthy subjects ages 19 to 84.
Appendix Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Inclusion and exclusion criteria for enrollment in the study were as follows: Inclusion Criteria • Males or females 18 years of age or older. • Able and willing to make the required study visits. • Able and willing to give consent and follow study instructions. •...
Appendix • Normal visual field, indicated by a Glaucoma Hemifield Test within normal limits, and MD and PSD > 5% probability level. Data Collection 284 subjects were qualified as normal subjects and enrolled in this study. 284 subjects were qualified for the RNFL database while 282 subjects were qualified for the Macula normative database (poor scan quality disqualified the macula scans from two subjects).
Appendix Note that CIRRUS RNFL and Macula normative databases are adjusted only by age, not by ethnicity or any other parameter. The normative limits provided for comparisons of individual data to the normative database do not take into account differences that may be present due to ethnicity, axial length, refraction, optic disc area, or signal strength.
Appendix Age Coefficient – RNFL Thickness Analysis of subject demographics determined that expected thickness was dependent upon age. Thus age correction is incorporated into the calculated results. Subject ethnicity was self–reported by the subjects in the population comprising the normative database but was not used as a variable in constructing the RNFL and macula normative databases.

Figure A-5 displays a scatter plot for the average macular thickness for all subfields along with the fitted regression line. Figure displays a scatter plot for the average macular volume for all subfields along with the fitted regression line.
Appendix cáÖìêÉ=^JS==^îÉê~ÖÉ=j~Åìä~=sçäìãÉ=sÉêëìë=^ÖÉ=Ó=^ää=oÉÖáçåë Conclusion The CIRRUS HD-OCT RNFL and macular thickness normative databases were created using data from subjects that were deemed representative of a normal population. The CIRRUS HD-OCT normative database for RNFL thickness established reference values for the Optic Disc Cube 200x200 scan.
A-10 Appendix Methods Data Collection In summary, 282 subjects were qualified as normal subjects, enrolled in the NDB study, and included for the RNFL database. Data from the same scans was analyzed and evaluated to determine the normal range of ONH parameters. The normative database does not have subjects with refractive errors outside the –12.00 D to +8.00 D range.
A-11 Appendix Results The descriptive statistics for each optic nerve head parameter are reported in Table A-1 below. Table A-1 Normal Values for CIRRUS ONH measurements in the Sample Population Rim Area Disc Area Average Vertical Volume Minimum 0.720 1.003 0.071 0.058 0.000...
A-12 Appendix 2Age The CIRRUS RNFL normative database was developed utilizing 282 subjects aged 19 to 84. Disc Area and Cup Volume showed no effect of Age. The Rim Area decreases slowly with age (slope = –0.002 mm / year, R = 0.033, p = 0.002), while CDR (average and vertical) increased slowly with age (slope = +0.002 per year, R = 0.032, p = 0.002 for average...
A-13 Appendix Presentation of Normative Limits Figure A-7 shows the ONH and RNFL OU Analysis with normative limits applied to the ONH parameters of Rim Area, Cup to Disc Ratio, Vertical Cup to Disc Ratio, and Cup Volume, as well as to the neuroretinal rim (NR) profile. Because each eye may have a different disc area, the normal limits shown behind the NR profile depend on which eye is selected for comparison.
A-14 Appendix Report The elements shown in the analysis screen in Figure A-7 are presented in a report as well, as shown below. cáÖìêÉ=^JT==lke=~åÇ=okci=lr=^å~äóëáë=oÉéçêí 2660021169012 Rev. A 2017-12 CIRRUS HD-OCT User Manual...
A-15 Appendix RNFL and ONH Normative Databases The ONH and RNFL OU Analysis supports the clinician in identifying areas of the RNFL that may be of clinical concern by comparing the measured RNFL thickness to age–matched data in the CIRRUS RNFL Normative Databases. Normative data that is age–matched to the patient appears when you perform the "ONH and RNFL OU Analysis"...
A-16 Appendix Distribution of Normals The gray color, shown in the legend to the left, represents “Not applicable”. Values will be shown in gray when normative data is not applicable because the database has insufficient data to match with the disc area. The Distribution of Normals color scheme is used for both the RNFL and the Optic Nerve Head analysis parameters.

A-22 Appendix were small. Based on R values, age explains only 12% of the variability in some parameters, while signal strength explains no more than 4%. Refractive error and axial length explain less than 2% of variability. For these reasons, only age was used when applying normative limits to Ganglion Cell Analysis parameters.
A-23 Appendix Axial Length and Refractive Error Figure A-14 below shows a plot of Ganglion Cell Analysis Average Thickness versus axial length of the study eye. It can be seen that GCL + IPL thickness decreases slightly as a function of axial length. This contributes less than 2% of the total variability of the Ganglion Cell Analysis parameters.

A-25 Appendix Enrolled subjects were representative of healthy individuals with no history of eye disease and were carefully screened and evaluated for eligibility. After undergoing a general ophthalmic examination, qualifying and consented subjects underwent retinal scanning with the CIRRUS HD-OCT instrument. Medical and ophthalmic histories were taken prior to enrolling the subjects in the study.
A-26 Appendix • Evidence of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, or other vitreo–retinal disease. Systemic: • History of diabetes, leukemia, AIDS, uncontrolled systemic hypertension, dementia or multiple sclerosis. • A life threatening or debilitating disease. • Current or recent (within the past 14 days) use of an agent with photosensitizing properties by any route (e.g., Visudyne®, ciprofloxacin, Bactrim®, doxycycline, etc.).
A-27 Appendix In practice, clinicians and operators should quantitatively and qualitatively review scans before comparing them to the CIRRUS RNFL or Macula Normative Databases. The normative limits for scans that have poor scan quality should be used with caution. The Asian Dataset The CIRRUS Asian RNFL and Macula Normative Databases were developed utilizing 315 subjects (aged 19–79).
A-28 Appendix Description of RNFL Parameters The RNFL Parameters that are compared to normal limits include: • Average RNFL Thickness around a measurement circle with 3.46 mm diameter. • Average RNFL Thickness in 4 quadrants distributed evenly around the measurement circle (Superior, Temporal, Inferior, and Nasal).
A-29 Appendix Age Coefficient – Macula Thickness The same macular parameters were calculated for the Asian Normative Database as were calculated for the Diversified Normative Database. The full description of the macular scan parameters can be found in "RNFL and Macula Normative Databases: Diversified"...
A-30 Appendix Normal Values for Ganglion Cell Analyses Post–hoc analysis was performed on the Macular Cube 200x200 and Macular Cube 512x128 cube scans, originally acquired for macular retinal thickness normative data, to determine the typical distribution for Ganglion Cell Analysis parameters and the GCL + IPL thickness map.

How do I measure the center thickness on OCTA on Zeiss 5000?
The Zeiss CIRRUS HD-OCT 500 measures central corneal thickness (CCT) using OCT imaging. The device provides pachymetry scans for this purpose. To measure CCT:
1. Use the Pachymetry Scan mode available on the CIRRUS HD-OCT 500.
2. Ensure proper alignment by centering the scan lines correctly.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to capture the scan.
4. The device will generate a measurement, which may differ slightly from ultrasound pachymetry.
OCT devices generally measure thinner than ultrasound pachymetry, with a reported mean difference of approximately -9.06 μm.
