XyCAM RI: Advanced Retinal Imaging for Ophthalmology and Optometry 

​

XyCAM RI is our clinical-grade Retinal Blood Flow Imager that has received market authorization from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through the 510(k) process. It can be used in ophthalmology and optometry settings to obtain quantitative estimates of relative retinal blood flow information from the human retina.

 

 

Key Retinal Imaging Features of XyCAM RI:

 

​XyCAM RI uses proprietary laser speckle contrast imaging technology to deliver a new standard in retinal imaging and fundus camera technology, and features:

• Dynamic blood flow visualization with video data output,

• Powerful analysis of blood flow dynamics for greater clinical insights,

• Non-mydriatic imaging,

• Soft IR illumination for patient comfort,

• Minimal training required as workflow is similar to fundus photography.

​

 

Clinical Applications of Retinal Imaging using XyCAM RI:

​

Data obtained by XyCAM RI is complementary to structural data obtained using fundus photography and OCT, and also to vascular perfusion status obtained by fluorescein/ICG/OCT-angiography. Therefore, information pertaining to retinal blood flow dynamics, especially its pulsatile trend over one or more heartbeats adds to the clinician's toolbox an ability to consider physiological information that can meaningfully improve their understanding of the condition and disease progression. Clinicians may find this information useful in choosing an appropriate disease management strategy.
