iCare, a subsidiary of Revenio Group, has today announced updates on the release of the new version of the iCare MAIA® microperimeter.
The new iCare MAIA® microperimeter which retains all the key features that made it the gold standard in microperimetry, is currently in the final stages of preparation. We are pleased to confirm that the commercial launch of the new version is scheduled for the first quarter of next year. This update represents a significant step in our growth and innovation strategy, aimed at better meeting market diagnostic needs, particularly within the ophthalmic research segment focusing on geographic atrophy therapies development.
The new iCare MAIA® has a renewed hardware platform with fully automated operations and a 15’’ multi-touch display, making it easier than ever. The auto-alignment capability is especially useful as it keeps the device aligned with the eye under exam, compensating for head movements throughout the test. The unparalleled structure-function correlation is now improved thanks to the introduction of the 60° TrueColor field of view.
“iCare MAIA® retains all the key elements that made it the gold standard in microperimetry technology, the introduction of the 60° TrueColor imaging capabilities brings the new MAIA® to the next level of structure-function correlation in microperimetry” said Daniele Mantovano, iCare’s Business Line Director Diagnostic. “We strongly believe in microperimetry and its usefulness in the research ophthalmic segment, and we have been intensely working on this project since the discontinuation of the previous MAIA® model”.
Clinical validation indicates full interchangeability with previous MAIA® generation with equivalent sensitivity results in mesopic testing.
The new iCare MAIA® has a 15’’ multi-touch display and an intuitive User Interface allowing easy-to-follow operations. The onboard grid editor allows to create customized test patterns, ensuring higher flexibility for the execution of custom protocols for patient-specific testing. The new iCare MAIA® can import data from the previous model and use it as a reference for follow-up examination guaranteeing full continuity with clinical historical data.
