iCare ST500™: A New Era in Slit Lamp Tonometry

The ultimate combination of iCare rebound technology and slit lamp based tonometry.

iCare, a subsidiary of Revenio Group, has announced the launch of the iCare ST500™, packing the essential features of iCare rebound tonometry technology into a modern slit lamp-based design.

iCare ST500 Slit Lamp tonometer combines extreme ease of use for the eye care practitioner and unsurpassed comfort for the patient, enabling faster operations and smoother acquisition, which improves the efficiency of clinical workflow.

Clinical validation indicates a high correlation of IOP measurements with applanation tonometry, ensuring the clinical confidence that iCare ST500 can provide comparable results to the current gold standard (GAT), without disadvantages. The data also showed lower variability between repeated results for iCare ST500 compared to GAT.

In addition, iCare ST500 enables accurate and repeatable operator-independent IOP measurements without the disadvantages of applanation tonometry, delivering a new standard to trust in clinical decision-making and improving workflow efficiency.

“iCare ST500 brings the key elements of iCare rebound technology within slit lamp based tonometry laying the foundation of a new era in the slit lamp-based tonometry market,” said Daniele Mantovano, iCare’s Global Business Line Director. “We’re excited to offer another great option to help eye care practitioners acquire and monitor patients' eye intraocular pressure.”

iCare ST500 has an intuitive user interface and easy-to-follow operations. Thanks to the slit-lamp mounted design, it allows easy patient positioning. Indications on the easy-to-read display help in assisting alignment and acquisition. The remote control improves the acquisition process, saving time for the operator.

iCare ST500 is naturally fast and has the Quick Measure feature for even faster operations in the most challenging cases. The faster the acquisition, the less the stress for the patient, resulting in an easier life for the operator.

iCare ST500 keeps all the unique and key advantages of rebound technology that made iCare the global leader in the tonometry ophthalmic market:

• No need for topical anesthesia nor fluorescent dye.
• No need for long collateral procedures like calibration.
• No need for disinfection nor sterilization.

iCare ST500 also introduces the new SmartCradle: a key element allowing users to take advantage of a powerful new rechargeable lithium battery and allowing the future easy connectivity and digitalization of IOP measurements.
