Baxter Rolls Out Digital Image Capture for PanOptic Plus Ophthalmoscope

Baxter has launched digital image capture capability for eye exams using its Welch Allyn PanOptic Plus ophthalmoscope by adding iExaminer Pro.
 
The iExaminer Pro system adds the ability to connect a smart device to capture images for more examination and lets clinicians move quickly from an optical exam to adding digital image capture, according to the company. Clinicians can also securely save and share eye images for tracking and trending, and begin more informed consultations with specialists.
 
“Healthcare settings have never been more demanding, and clinicians need their tools to offer improved efficiency and accuracy that ultimately allows earlier care for patients,” Baxter’s president of Front Line Care Jim O’Connell told the press. “The iExaminerPro System uses the latest tech, allowing providers to spend more time focusing on the thing that matters most – their patients.”
 
iExaminerPro has been in use with Baxter’s Welch Allyn MacroView Plus otoscope since 2021. The company claims PanOptic Plus and MacroView Plus tools offer bigger views compared to standard ophthalmoscopes and otoscopes.
 
Both scopes also tout long-lasting LED lamps and DuraShock tech for durability.
 
“Examining the structure of the eyes is a critical part of assessing patient health,” said Julie Jakubowski, M.D., F.A.C.P., head of medical affairs, Front Line Care, Baxter. “The PanOpticPlus Ophthalmoscope with iExaminerPro System helps to enable healthcare providers to catch issues early on in a primary care setting, easily collaborate with specialists, and facilitates patients getting the diagnosis, care and treatment they need in a timely manner.”
