  • Page 9: Camera Autotuning Message On First Start

    This procedure is not invasive and not essential: if the operator forgets to apply the Lens Cap and just presses ok, the image quality is not affected and no danger is possible to the patient anyway. CenterVue DRS Operating Manual Pg. 9 of 59...
  • Page 10: Preparing The Patient

    There are no restrictions as to the selection of the patients undergoing DRS testing. The DRS is a non-mydriatic device (minimum pupil diameter 4 mm), so there is no need to dilate the subject’s pupil. Patient contacting parts are indicated in Figure 1.
  • Page 11: Warnings And Precautions

     The DRS needs to be operated in a semi dark room (except when taking Anterior Eye photos).  The DRS needs to be operated under the following environmental conditions: Temperature: 10 - 40 C°...

    As soon as the eye is detected the automated procedure will resume. Figure 11 - Failure of automatic eye search The result of the overall acquisition process is one or more retinal images as the one shown below. CenterVue DRS Operating Manual Pg. 16 of 59...
  • Page 17: Anterior Eye

    Figure 12 - Retinal image acquired by the DRS 9.6 Anterior Eye In order to shoot a focused image of the anterior part of the eye, the patient’s head must be placed on the chinrest but with a distance of 3-5cm (2-3 fingers) between the patient’s forehead and the instrument forehead rest.
  • Page 18: Stereo Exams

    The delay length can be set in the Settings page (Exam >> Saving). Implementing a slight shift between one image and the other, the optical head of the DRS will capture a simulated stereoscopic view of the optical disc.
  • Page 19: Warning Messages

    When the auto-focus process is not able to find an optical focus, a warning message is shown to inform the operator about the possible low quality of the image (see Figure 18). Figure 18 - Warning due to incorrect focusing CenterVue DRS Operating Manual Pg. 19 of 59...

    (e.g. \\drs-0010\shared). In case of complex networks, it may be necessary to insert the IP address of the DRS instead of its name (e.g. \\192.168.1.10\shared). In this case you might need to seek the support of your local IT staff.
  • Page 36 The Internal option is the easiest to set up, but the data is available only as long as the DRS is powered on and connected to the network. The Remote option might require additional information and special permissions (especially in complex networks) but the data is available even when the DRS is powered off or disconnected.
