Description

The Kowa AP-7000 is a cutting-edge visual field analyzer designed to meet the demands of modern optometry and ophthalmology practices. Known for its high diagnostic accuracy, user-friendly interface, and advanced features, the Kowa AP-7000 is an indispensable tool for eye care professionals aiming to provide top-notch patient care. This device offers comprehensive visual field testing, ensuring early detection and management of various eye conditions, including glaucoma.

Accurate and efficient visual field testing is crucial for detecting and managing eye diseases that can lead to vision loss. Glaucoma, retinal disorders, and optic nerve damage can be effectively monitored and treated if diagnosed early through reliable visual field analysis. The Kowa AP-7000 ensures high precision and speed, reducing the burden on patients and practitioners and enhancing the overall quality of eye care.

 

Kowa AP-7000 Key Features and Benefits

  • High Diagnostic Accuracy: Enhanced algorithms for precise detection of visual field defects.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive touch screen for easy operation.
  • Fast Testing: Reduced test times with quick, reliable results.
  • Patient Comfort: Ergonomic design to ensure a comfortable testing experience.
  • EHR Integration: Seamless compatibility with major electronic health record systems.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of daily clinical use.

Fundus Oriented Perimetry

Static perimetry tests can be applied to areas of interest on fundus images taken from a retinal camera, OCT, or SLO. A threshold test within the central 10°, a custom optional threshold test that allows selection of any desired test points, and custom optional screening tests are available.

Threshold

In addition to central 30°, which is used to observe the progression of glaucoma, other tests are available, such as central 10°, which can identify visual field abnormalities in the macula.

Clear Display of Analysis Results

Analysis Indices

GHT (Glaucoma Hemifield Test)

For this index, threshold central test points are divided into 10 sectors, and corresponding sectors above and below the horizontal median axis are compared.

VFI (Visual Field Index)

A percentage index in which a normal visual field is 100% , and total loss of visual field is 0%

Anderson’s Criteria Diagnostic Support Function

This criteria is for glaucomatous visual field defect.
If any of the following conditions are satisfied, the colors turn orange.

  • PSD has p<5%
  • GHT is outside normal limits
  • Pattern deviation probability plot shows a cluster of 3 or more nonedge points with p<5%, and one of the points has p<1% (The physician must judge whether the 3 points match the travel of NFL.)

Chronological Change Display

Test result analysis indices can be graphically displayed as time series data to grasp changes over time in the tested eyes clearly.

Predictive Display

Predictive graphs are displayed from calculations of linear rates of changes in analysis indices. This function predicts what values of MD and VFI will be reached at what age, if current rates of change in those values continue.

Convenient Tabbed User Interface

Main operation buttons are grouped at the top of the page, and buttons are laid out to follow the progression of tests, from patient information entry through test program selection to result display.

Screening

4-zone measurement that goes beyond screening, and programs using probability values (p-values), are among the features that enable effective testing in less time.

Running tests with probability value (p-value) intensities makes it possible to display the difference between the measured value and the normal value for each age range as a p-value, so that the evaluation equivalent to total deviation in thresholds can be performed in a shorter time.

Isopter

Among the diverse measurement method options available are “Automatic measurement function”, which uses many median patterns, “Manual measurement function”, which allows free drawing of isopters, and “auto + manual measurement function”, which allows any drawing of the median after automatic measurement.
