Optomed Aurora 13
2. Device overview
Optomed Aurora is a modular ophthalmic camera that is designed for use in a medical environment. It is
intended to capture digital images and video of the fundus of the eye and surface of the eye for documentation
and consultation. Aurora Camera is used with interchangeable optics modules Aurora Retinal Module and
Aurora Anterior Module. Optics modules are attached to the camera with bayonet connectors.
Aurora Camera has a WLAN module which enables wireless data transfer to a PC. Captured images and
recorded videos can also be transferred to a PC via USB connection when the camera is placed on Aurora
Charging Station. In addition, Aurora Charging Station is a dual charger used for charging the battery inside
the camera and spare battery.
Aurora Retinal Module is intended for non-mydriatic fundus imaging. In non-mydriatic imaging no mydriasis
is needed because infrared light is used for targeting the fundus and white light is flashed when an image
is taken. The pupil does not respond to the infrared light so examination is convenient for the patient. With
small pupils it is recommended to use mydriatic drops. Aurora Retinal Module has nine internal fixation targets
for the patient to fixate on during imaging. The middle fixation target provides a macula-centred image.
Aurora Anterior Module is intended for imaging the surface of the eye and surrounding areas. Aurora Anterior
Module has two light sources for imaging: white and cobalt blue. Cobalt blue light enables capturing of
fluorescent images. There are four focus windows to focus the image.
NOTE!
The device may only be operated by persons who have been properly trained or who have the
required knowledge and experience to do so. The device may only be used in accordance with
its intended use.
