Visionstar ODU-5

Floodlit Keyboard for Darkened Rooms

Illuminated keys let the operator work the console in the low light that B-scan examination often requires, without a separate lamp spoiling the viewing conditions. Examination conditions stay as the operator wants them.

Folding Screen and Carry Handle

The 10.4 inch LED screen adjusts for viewing angle and folds against the body, after which the whole console lifts by an integral handle. Relocation therefore takes moments rather than planning.

Volume and Perimeter Measurement

Electronic measurement extends past distance and area to perimeter and volume, describing a structure in three dimensions rather than only across a plane. Measurements are taken electronically on the stored image.

Eight Pseudo-Colour Maps

Eight colour presentations of the returning signal let an operator choose whichever rendering makes a particular structure most readable on screen. Grey scale alone can leave a boundary indistinct.

Eight Adjustable Compensation Settings

Time gain compensation across eight settings governs how depth is represented, since returns from deeper structures arrive weaker than those from shallow ones.

Six Lens Power Formulas

SRK-II, SRK-T, Binkhorst, Holladay, Hoffer-Q and Haigis are all provided, letting a surgeon apply whichever formula suits the eye being measured. Formula performance varies across differing axial lengths.

One Hundred Image Permanent Storage

Studies are retained on the console itself, so earlier examinations remain available for comparison without depending on an external system. Earlier studies stay available for later comparison.

One-Key Workstation Transfer

A single key press sends the current image to a linked workstation, where standard software manages and prints the collected data. No intermediate device sits in the transfer chain.

Darkened Room B-Scan Examination

Ocular ultrasound is frequently performed with the lights down, both to read a low contrast image and because patients tolerate the examination better. That creates a practical problem the specification sheets rarely address: the operator cannot see the controls. A floodlit keyboard resolves it, and the eight pseudo-colour maps give further latitude in making a structure readable under those conditions. Small design decisions of this kind shape daily practice. The examination is uncomfortable enough without added glare.

Assessment Behind Opaque Media

Where a dense cataract, vitreous haemorrhage or corneal opacity blocks any view depending on light, cross-sectional ultrasound continues to show internal structure. High resolution and contrast imaging supports that assessment. Interpretation of the images produced, and any conclusion drawn from them, remains the responsibility of the examining clinician. Ultrasound reaches where optical examination simply cannot. Findings should always be weighed alongside the wider clinical picture.

Cataract Measurement and Planning

The A-scan side reports anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreous and axial length, with six formulas available for lens power calculation and dedicated normal, cataract, aphakic and special eye settings. Contact and immersion methods are both supported, so a department continues with whichever technique it already uses. Both examinations happen within a single appointment. Planning proceeds with a fuller account of the eye concerned.

Services Covering Several Sites

A folding screen and carry handle make relocation practical rather than theoretical. Clinics running across multiple rooms or visiting other sites can move one console instead of equipping each location, and one-key transfer to a workstation means studies reach the record wherever the examination happened. One console therefore serves several locations properly. Studies reach the record wherever the examination took place.

Designed Around the Real Examination

The floodlit keyboard is a small feature that reveals a larger attention to how the work is done. B-scan happens in low light, operators need their controls, and most instruments leave them fumbling. Combined with eight colour maps and eight compensation settings, the console gives an operator genuine latitude to make a difficult image readable in the conditions the examination actually demands. Equipment that suits the room supports better examinations. Latitude of this kind matters most in the difficult cases.

Measurement in Three Dimensions

Distance and area describe a structure across a plane; perimeter and volume describe it more completely. Having volumetric measurement available supports assessment where the size of something matters and a single linear figure would understate it. Measurements are taken on the image electronically rather than estimated. A volume figure conveys what a linear one cannot. Electronic measurement removes estimation from the process.

Portability Without Compromise

A folding screen and integral handle make the console genuinely transportable, yet both examinations, all six formulas, the full measurement set and one hundred stored images travel with it. Portability here does not mean a reduced instrument, which is the usual trade for equipment that moves. Nothing is surrendered in exchange for mobility here. The full capability arrives wherever the console is carried.

The ODU-5 combines ocular biometry with cross-sectional imaging in a console built for the conditions the examination is genuinely performed in. A floodlit keyboard lets the operator work in a darkened room, eight pseudo-colour maps and eight compensation settings give latitude in making a difficult image readable, and a folding 10.4 inch screen with an integral handle makes the whole instrument portable.

The A-scan reports anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, vitreous and axial length, with six established formulas covering SRK-II, SRK-T, Binkhorst, Holladay, Hoffer-Q and Haigis, both contact and immersion methods, and normal, cataract, aphakic and special eye settings.

Selecting the appropriate eye setting before measuring supports reliable readings. The B-scan produces high resolution, high contrast images with electronic measurement extending to distance, area, perimeter and volume. One hundred images are held permanently on the console, a single key press transfers the current study to a linked workstation, and standard software manages and prints the data.
