UNIQUE ELECTRORETINOGRAPH (ERG) TECHNOLOGY MADE SIMPLE :
ERG is an instrument for measuring the electrical response of the retina to light stimulation —a fundus image is not required. Similar to an ECG, electrical activity of the retina is magnified and recorded as waves with patented non-invasive RETeval-DR Sensor Strips that comfortably rest below each eye. Signals from a diseased retina are reduced in size and slower than normal.
HIGH ACCURACY AND LOW TECHNICAL FAILURE RATE :
Validated1 using gold standard ETDRS 7-standard field photography, RETeval-DR’s performance compares favorably to one point-of-care digital
retinal imaging system (Joslin Vision Network, Boston, MA) for the detection of severe NPDR or worse, with better sensitivity (87% vs. 85%), and lower specificity (78% vs. 100%) than the digital retinal system. The RETeval device’s technical failure rate (0.9%) was much better than that reported for the digital retinal imaging system (35%)2, and RETeval is largely unaffected by cataracts and generates results even with small pupils (down to 1.3 mm).
HANDHELD AND BATTERY POWERED :
The handheld and completely portable RETeval-DR enables screening to take place wherever patients with diabetes receive their care—whether in primary care, a specialist setting, a pharmacy, or even a remote healthcare screening event.
IMMEDIATE TEST RESULTS AND REPORT :
A complete ERG report based upon the retinal evaluation is available immediately on the screen and as a PDF file—no data transfer over the Internet is required.
NO INSTALLATION AND MINIMAL TRAINING REQUIRED :
RETeval-DR does not require complicated installation or dedicated floor space and arrives ready to use. Device prompts on the display screen guide the user through a three-minute exam that delivers an objective result. No advanced clinical training is required to perform the test or read the results.
