Corvis ST

The Corvis ST measures corneal biomechanics by capturing dynamic corneal deformation in response to an air pulse, providing insights into corneal stiffness and biomechanical properties. Unlike traditional tonometry, which primarily measures intraocular pressure, the Corvis ST offers a non-contact assessment of corneal health and structural integrity, useful for evaluating conditions like keratoconus, corneal ectasia, or post-surgical changes. Its high-speed Scheimpflug camera enables detailed biomechanical analysis beyond pressure measurement alone.

The Corvis ST is explicitly supplied as a reusable medical instrument for ophthalmic use. As a reusable device, it requires adherence to standard clinical cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization protocols to ensure patient safety and device integrity. The manufacturer’s instructions (not provided here) should be followed for proper maintenance, including air filtration and periodic servicing, as it operates with AC power and contains mechanical components.

The Corvis ST is AC-powered and not intended for use in MRI environments due to its electronic and mechanical components. Clinicians should ensure it is plugged into a stable power source and placed in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to avoid operational disruptions. The device’s design prioritizes non-contact use, eliminating the need for direct patient contact during measurements.

The Corvis ST is authorized under both FDA 510(k) and MDR (Medical Device Regulation) pathways, confirming its compliance with stringent safety and performance standards in the U.S. and EU markets. This regulatory clearance ensures its use is supported by validated clinical evidence and manufacturing controls, though clinicians should verify local compliance requirements (e.g., facility protocols or licensing) before integration into practice.
