Hillrom Launches Welch Allyn PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope
Hillrom announced technological advances to its physical assessment tools with the launch of the new Welch Allyn PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope and the Welch Allyn MacroView Plus Otoscope.
Examining the structure of the eyes and ears is a critical part of assessing patient health. The first-to-market innovations1 in Hillrom’s new otoscope and ophthalmoscope enable brighter, larger views: a 20-times larger viewing area compared to the current Welch Allyn coaxial ophthalmoscope, and a three-times larger viewing area compared to the traditional otoscope.
The MacroView Plus otoscope enables clinicians to move quickly from an optical exam to digital image capture. When used along with Hillrom’s free iExaminer Pro App, clinicians can securely save and share ear images for tracking, trending and easy consultations with specialists.
The PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope features Quick Eye Alignment technology to help better direct a patient’s gaze. The innovative disc-alignment lights help the clinician direct and guide the patient’s gaze, to help enable easier exams.
“The extraordinary innovations built into the new PanOptic and MacroView Plus technologies are complete game-changers in our drive to help improve patient outcomes through routine physical exams,” Hillrom President and CEO John Groetelaars said in a company news release. “Together, these devices are highly advanced tools designed to help clinicians make earlier and more accurate diagnoses of ear and eye conditions that may provide more options for effective treatment.”
These devices are available in the U.S. beginning today and are scheduled for availability later this year in Canada, the European Union, the U.K., Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Colombia and Brazil.
