Optos Unveils Monaco Ultra-Widefield Imaging Device with OCT Capabilities

Optos has announced that Monaco, which the company describes as the first ultra-widefield imaging device combined with OCT, was launched Thursday in the United States.

Monaco is a compact desk-top UWF retinal imaging device that provides greater imaging functionality and expands the company’s product portfolio for the ophthalmic markets, according to Optos. Monaco represents the company’s first combined imaging device with ultra-widefield colour imaging, 3-in-1 color depth imaging and autofluorescence (AF) modalities combined with optical coherence tomography (OCT).  A comprehensive exam including ultra-widefield imaging and OCT, which delivers information on structure and function of the retina, has been shown to enhance pathology detection and disease management and to significantly improve clinic flow.

“I am delighted to unveil Monaco, our newest offering for the ophthalmic market. The addition of OCT to our ultra-widefield retinal imaging device offers a more comprehensive array of imaging tools in one machine enabling eye care practitioners to see and treat retinal pathology earlier and more effectively.  We are extremely excited by the opportunities this product brings to the business and to our customers,” Robert Kennedy, CEO of Optos, said in the news release.
