1. INTRODUCTION
The Digital Retinography System (DRS) is a fundus camera for the acquisition of digital images of
the retina without the use of a mydriatic agent.
In particular, the DRS allows to acquire color images of the retina over a field of view of 45° x 40°,
in a fully automatic mode. Seven different retinal fields can be framed using multiple internal
fixation targets.
The clinical interpretation of the images acquired by the DRS is restricted to
licensed eye care practitioners. The process of making a diagnosis using DRS
results is the responsibility of the eye care practitioner.
A device specific training is required for any operator to become able to use the
system.
Federal laws (US) restrict this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or a
properly licensed practitioner.
