ASCRS SYMPOSIUM, February 2011 SAN DIEGO 2011 EW SHOW DAILY 33 Breaking news Zeiss announces several new launches Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (Jena, Germany) announced several new launches at the ASCRS•ASOA meeting. The Zeiss Cataract Suite featuring the new CALLISTO eye OR management system recently received U.S. FDA 510k clearance. The company also announced the U.S. release of the Forum Viewer App, which provides doctors with mobile access to Zeiss and thirdparty diagnostic images and reports. "High patient expectations and increasing workload due to aging demographics, coupled with declining reimbursements are driving the need for technologies that enable surgeons to perform complex procedures with greater confidence and to achieve optimal patient outcomes," said Ludwin Monz, MD, president and CEO of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG. "By bringing together the IOLMaster 500, OPMI LUMERA 700 and CALLISTO eye, the Zeiss Cataract Suite offers efficiency and precision at each crucial step: precise axial measurements, precise visualization, and precise assistance to enable cataract surgeons to deliver expert outcomes." Carl Zeiss Meditec also introduced the Forum Viewer App for iPads, an extension to the company's Forum Eye Care Data Management system. The new Forum software application extends Forum Viewer to iPads allowing doctors access to diagnostic patient data wherever and whenever they may want it. Forum is a data management system for ophthalmology and optometry that allows data availability through central storage, increases workflow efficiency by providing data from multiple instruments and supports doctors in their clinical assessments. Also on display during the 2013 ASCRS•ASOA at the Zeiss booth will be the new CIRRUS OCT family. The four new models —the CIRRUS 5000 and 500 and CIRRUS photo 800 and 600— span the full spectrum of multimodality imaging for glaucoma and retinal disease and addresses specific workflow and practice needs.
