IOLMaster 700

The IOLMaster 700 measures critical ocular parameters such as axial length, corneal curvature, anterior chamber depth, and white-to-white corneal diameter. These measurements are essential for calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power, ensuring the selected lens matches the patient’s eye anatomy for optimal visual results after cataract surgery. The device uses optical coherence principles to capture high-resolution images without direct contact, reducing patient discomfort.

The IOLMaster 700 is a reusable, non-sterile device designed for clinical ophthalmic use. Since it is intended for repeated use across multiple patients, proper cleaning, calibration, and maintenance are required to ensure accuracy and prevent cross-contamination. The manufacturer provides guidelines for storage in a clean, controlled environment to maintain performance.

The IOLMaster 700 operates using AC power, meaning it must be connected to a standard electrical outlet to function. This requirement ensures consistent performance during clinical use, as fluctuations in power could affect measurement precision. Clinicians should verify the device’s power connection and stability before each use.

The IOLMaster 700 should be stored in a clean, controlled environment to protect it from dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. Since it is reusable and non-sterile, it should not be exposed to conditions that could compromise its optical components or calibration. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for storage to preserve accuracy and longevity.

The IOLMaster 700 received FDA clearance through a 510(k) submission, demonstrating that it is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device. The device is classified as a Class II medical device under FDA regulations, indicating it poses moderate risk and requires pre-market notification. The clearance was granted under the Ophthalmic advisory committee, reflecting its use in precision ocular measurements for surgical planning.
