ZEISS Stratus OCT 3000

The ZEISS Stratus OCT Model 3000 (Stratus OCT) enables examination of the posterior pole of the eye at an extremely fine spatial scale,
without surgical biopsy or even any contact with the eye.

The name Stratus OCT (derived from “stratum,” Latin for “layer”) refers to its unique ability of direct cross-sectional imaging of the layers of the retina.
The Stratus OCT minimizes patient discomfort as it permits detailed examination of the retina and optic nerve head at the office or clinic.
The Stratus OCT facilitates diagnosis and management of retinal diseases and glaucoma.

Intended Use
The Stratus OCT is intended for use as a diagnostic device to aid in the management of ocular diseases.

Indications for Use
The Stratus OCT is a non-contact, high resolution tomographic and biomicroscopic imaging device.
It is indicated for in vivo viewing and axial cross-sectional imaging and measurement of posterior ocular structures,
including retina, retinal nerve fiber layer, macula, and optic disc.
It is intended for use as a diagnostic device to aid in the detection and management of ocular diseases including,
but not limited to, macular holes, cystoid macular edema, diabetic retinopathy,
age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma.

Stratus OCT System Described
The Stratus OCT is a computer-assisted precision optical instrument that generates cross sectional images (tomograms) of the retina with ≤ 10 micrometers axial resolution. It works by using an optical measurement technique known as low-coherence interferometry.
