Protection of Patient Health Information
CAUTION: Do not reconfigure system components on the table, nor add non–system
devices or components to the table, nor replace original system components with
substitutes not approved by Zeiss. Such actions could result in failure of the table height
adjustment mechanism, instability of the table, tipping and damage to the instrument, and
injury to operator and patient.
CAUTION: Do not use the printer, the instrument, or the optional power table with an
extension cord or a power strip (multiple portable socket outlet).
CAUTION: Applicable Phototoxicity Statements (FDA CDRH Ophthalmologist Guidance
#71): Because prolonged intense light exposure can damage the retina, the use of the
device for ocular examination should not be unnecessarily prolonged. While no acute
optical radiation hazards have been identified for direct or indirect ophthalmologist, it is
recommended that the exposure time for the patient’s eye be limited to the minimum time
that is necessary for image acquisition. Infants, aphakes, and persons with diseased eyes
will be at greater risk. The risk may also be increased if the person being examined has had
any exposure with the same instrument or any other ophthalmic instrument using a visible
light source during the previous 24 hours. This will apply particularly if the eye has been
exposed to retinal photography. This medical device has no user adjustable intensity
settings for light incident on the retina, nor does it produce UV radiation or short–
wavelength blue light.
CAUTION: The appliance coupler is the main disconnect device of the instrument.
Position the instrument in such a way to have easy access to disconnect the appliance
coupler in case of an emergency. For the CIRRUS HD-OCT, the most accessible power cord

Safety
CAUTION: Do not use the NAS device or the instrument with an extension cord or a
power strip (multiple portable socket outlet). For additional safety, do not plug the NAS
device and the instrument into the same wall outlet. Failure to observe this instruction
could result in electrical shock to the patient and/or examiner.
Printer Safety
WARNING: Except when powering the printer through an isolation transformer in the USB
configuration, peripheral devices such as printers must be placed at least 1.5 meters (4.9
feet) away from the patient, such that the patient cannot touch a peripheral device with
any part of his or her body while being examined. In addition, the instrument operator
must not attempt to touch the patient and a peripheral device at the same time while
examining the patient. Failure to observe this warning could result in electrical shock to the
patient and/or examiner. Use of a printer in a wireless configuration enables you to observe
this warning more easily.
WARNING: When using the printer in the USB configuration, you must power the printer
through an isolation transformer. Failure to observe this warning could result in electrical
shock to the patient and/or examiner. To do so, you must use a special power cable. In
North America, the required cable has an IEC–320–14 connector on one end and a NEMA
S–15R connector on the other end. This cable is included in the accessory kit shipped with
the instrument.
WARNING: To directly connect a printer to the CIRRUS HD-OCT using a network patch cord
(UTP cable), only use an unshielded RJ–45 connector. Use of a shielded network patch
cord will ground the printer through the CIRRUS HD-OCT, which could result in electrical
shock to the patient and/or examiner. It could also invalidate the system safety approval. In
this configuration, the printer must be placed at least 1.5 m away from the patient.
CAUTION: If you use a non–approved device or if you connect it incorrectly—for
example, by plugging the printer into the wall while using a USB connection, or by using a
shielded network (UTP) cable—you could invalidate the system safety approval.
CAUTION: We strongly recommend you use peripheral devices supplied or approved by
Zeiss, when available, because they will have been tested to work with the instrument. If
you do use a peripheral device that conforms with the requirements in this section but is
not supplied by Zeiss, do not install any unapproved third party software on the instrument.
Installation of any unapproved software, including drivers, could degrade the performance
of the instrument and/or lead to corrupted diagnostic or therapeutic information and may
void the instrument warranty.
CAUTION: Do not use the printer or the instrument with an extension cord or a power
strip (multiple portable socket outlet). For additional safety, do not plug the printer and the

Status Area
The status area at bottom left presents current status information using a single green–
yellow–red indicator.
The overall instrument status is communicated by the color. The colors have the following
meanings:
• Green means OK or normal: The instrument is functioning normally.

Software
• Yellow means warning: The instrument is operational but a problem or set of problems
exist.
• Red means critical: One or more serious problems exists that restricts use of the
instrument.
Components of Status
The following components contribute to the overall status.
NOTE: Mouse over the status indicator and popup text will explain the current status in
terms of the status components below.
Instrument Status
Indicates whether or not the instrument hardware is in communication with the system
computer, and therefore capable of acquiring new scans. It can report status as either
ready to acquire scans (green) or unable to acquire new scans (red).
• Red: If instrument status is red, we suggest you cycle power off and then power on the
instrument). If the problem persists, contact CZMI customer service.
Hard Disk Status
Indicates available hard disk space status. It can report three statuses:
• Green: Adequate free hard disk space.
• Yell ow: Low hard disk space. When free hard disk space is low at startup, you must
click Continue at system start before continuing to the login screen. Also, the system
prompts you to clear archived exam data.
• Red: Critically low hard disk space. When hard disk space is critically low, the Acquire
button is disabled. You must clear a sufficient amount of hard disk space by clearing
archived exams to continue. If there are insufficient archived exams to be cleared, you
must first archive exams and then clear them. You cannot clear unarchived exams.
Once you have created space on your hard drive, the indicator will change to green.
However, the Acquire button remains disabled until you shut down, then restart the
CIRRUS application.
Network (Archive) Status
Indicates available network (archive) storage space and availability status. It can report
three statuses:
• Green: Network available with adequate network archive disk space.
• Yell ow: Low network archive disk space or network unavailable. When archive disk
space is low, you will be prompted to change the archive location, but you can
continue using the same archive location for now. The message Archive volume is not
available indicates that the current archive location is not accessible.
• Red: Critically low network archive disk space. When archive disk space is critically
low, CIRRUS will stop archiving to this location. You must change to a new archive
location to re–start archiving.

DICOM Connectivity Status
• Green: DICOM functions, if DICOM was selected during installation, are normal.
NOTE: On rare occasions, the DICOM features may not actually be available even though
the Status Indicator is green, indicating that you are connected to DICOM. If this occurs,
check the DICOM Gateway Configuration IP address (see the

3. Add the value of the Issuer of Patient ID in this field. The Issuer of Patient ID field
denotes assigning authority of patient IDs entered at a particular site or practice. As a
recommendation, it should be set to the same value on every instrument in the
practice and to the same value as in the leading patient information system, if
applicable. If the Issuer of Patient ID already exists—for example, the same one used
in the previous software version—the value appears in the Issuer of Patient ID
field, where it can be edited, if desired. Changes made to the identifier of the Issuer of
Patient ID will be applied to patients going forward; the change will not appear on
patient information already in the database.
4. Add Institution Logo Graphic (Optional). The graphic must be in bitmap format (.bmp).
Use Browse to navigate to the graphic file of your choice. The selected file will appear
in the Preview pane, which is 150 pixels square (1.9 cm or 0.75 inches square at 200
pixels/inch), and will be stretched or constrained to fit it. The graphic will then appear
in these proportions on analysis reports, though in a smaller size.

Patient Good Practices
A session for collecting images typically takes several minutes for each eye. Aligning the
patient and optimizing the scan account for most of the session time. The patient may rest
between scans as needed.
Specific to Iris Imaging
• Center the iris image within the pupil, unless a slight offset is required for retina tilt or
to avoid opacity.
• Focus on the iris detail.
Specific to Fundus Imaging
• Ensure the focus is sharp and clear with good visibility of the branching blood vessels.
5-1
Daily Tasks
Start of Day
• Center the scan overlay on the fovea for macular scans and on the optic nerve head
for optic disc scans.
• Ensure uniform illumination without dark corners.
• Eliminate or reduce artifacts that may cast shadows on the OCT scans.
• Attempt to move floaters away from the region of interest by asking the research
subject to look up, down, and from side to side.
• Minimize corneal opacities by realigning the pupil.
Each day that the CIRRUS HD-OCT system is to be used the following steps must be
followed:
1. Start the CIRRUS HD-OCT instrument
2. Wait for the system check to complete. If the system check passes with a non–critical
error, such as inadequate hard drive or network archive space, click Continue, and
then log on to the application. Scanning can proceed with inadequate local storage
space, as long as the scans can be archived elsewhere when the system is shut down.
NOTE: Login to the software. You must be assigned an account by the System
Administrator to use the software
NOTE: You may need to archive scans before acquiring new scans. If archive storage is
inadequate, you can acquire new scans but will be prompted to archive all unarchived
scans when shutting down the system. Or if a Database, Installation Files, or Instrument
failure occurs, you will not be able to use the instrument. Contact your Zeiss representative.

Patient Preparation
Optional Dilation of Patient’s Eye(s) (Posterior Segment)
In preparation for all patient visits, first clean Instrument Surfaces and adjust table height.
1. Wipe the chin rest and forehead rest with an alcohol pad, and allow the assembly to
dry.
2. Adjust the table so the embossed line on the ocular cover is approximately at the
same height as the patient’s eye.
NOTE: The table adjustable height switch is mounted on the rear underside of the table, on
the operator's right side.
3. After adjusting the table height, instruct the patient to sit back and relax.
The minimum pupil size for CIRRUS HD-OCT is 2 mm. This can usually be achieved without
dilation. If dilation is performed on a subject for an exam, we recommend that dilation be
used on subsequent visits if quantitative comparisons will be made. Dilation should not
directly affect the quantitative measurements, but it may affect them indirectly by allowing
more variability in how the OCT beam enters the eye. Although such an effect should be
small, optimal repeatability will be achieved by imaging the patient in the same way at
every visit.
Position the Patient on the Chinrest
NOTE: Before the patient puts his or her head in the chinrest, click to select the desired
scan type for either eye as described in Chapter 6 "Acquiring Scans". Once the scan
has been selected, the automated chinrest will go to the default position for the selected
scan type and eye. By selecting an anterior segment scan, the CIRRUS HD-OCT will bring

the internal lens into position (you may hear a click while this occurs) and dim the
illumination to avoid pupillary constriction by default.
The patient’s exam experience with the CIRRUS HD-OCT is normally brief and comfortable.
An experienced operator can acquire several scans from each eye in the space of 5–7
minutes. An exam usually requires the patient to look inside the imaging aperture for 1–3
minutes at a time for each eye, depending on the number of scans desired. The instrument
acquires most scans in 1–5 seconds. The additional time is required to align the patient
before scanning and to optimize scan quality. The patient may sit back between scans as
needed. Note that the CIRRUS HD-OCT is never to contact the patient’s eye.
Selecting a scan type moves the chinrest into the default or saved position for the scan.
Wait until the chinrest automatic positioning is complete before instructing the research
subject to place his or her chin on the chinrest.
If you are using a prior scan (see Patient Preparation on page 5-10) on a patient, the
patient must wait until the prior scan has been selected and the chinrest motions are
complete before placing their head in the chinrest. Reducing the amount of time the
patient spends in the chinrest improves patient comfort.
5-11
Optional Eyelid Elevation
To get a scan unobstructed by the eyelids, especially for vertical scans, you may find it
necessary to tape the eyelids of either eye or manually elevate the eyelid during scan
acquisition in accordance with standard medical practice. For many patients, it is sufficient
to ask them to open their eyes wide during scan acquisition. In certain cases however, it
may be necessary to tape the patient’s eyelids in order to get an unobstructed scan.
Precautions
CAUTION: When you complete scan acquisition and before you click the Finish or ID

CAUTION: The operator should check that the patient is not holding on to the instrument
before or during tests. Although movement of the motorized chinrest is slow, giving plenty
of warning for patients to remove their fingers, there is potential for fingers to be squeezed
and possibly injured if left in the area shown below.
Patient Instructions
1. Instruct the Patient to Focus on the Fixation Target.
Ensure the corneal scans are centered on the corneal vertex
Instruct the patient to fixate on the center of the fixation target, even though it may
not appear to be in focus.
• The internal fixation target is centered. For all anterior segment scans, the
• The iris illumination is dimmed by default to avoid causing pupillary constriction.
• The internal lens audibly clicks as it is brought into position.
The HD Angle is the preferred scan for imaging the anterior chamber angle. It gives
the highest resolution and greatest detail of the iridocorneal angle. Wide Angle to
Angle and Anterior Chamber scans may also be used for anterior chamber
angle analysis.
2. Instruct the research subject to focus on the green star fixation target in the imaging

Page 71
Patient Preparation
You will begin to see an image once the patient is positioned in the chinrest. The image
may be poorly resolved until properly focused (see "Acquiring Scans" on page 6-1).
Alignment progresses through a series of steps, although the order in which many of the
steps are performed (and whether they are repeated) will vary depending on the
cooperativeness of the patient (e.g., whether patients can fixate steadily at a requested
location, opacity of their eye, etc.). In general, the sequence of user steps for non–repeat
visits is as follows.
4. If necessary, remind the patient not to press against the head rest too firmly, so the
forehead glides more easily across it during X-Y movements of the chinrest. The video
image of the eye is clearest when the (Z alignment) is correct.
5. Instruct the Patient to relax after capture.
6. After the capture is complete, instruct the subject to relax but maintain chinrest
position while the technician reviews the scan.
7. If necessary, repeat steps 4 through 6 above, until the technician is satisfied with the
scan quality.
8. When the session is complete, instruct the subject to relax and move away from the
chinrest.
5-13
NOTE: Clicking the Finished or ID Patient button moves the chinrest into the default or
saved position. Instruct the research subject to move away from the chinrest before clicking
the Finished or ID Patient button.
CIRRUS automatically names the file to include patient name, ID number, gender, type of
scan, date of exam, eye examined, type of report, and date of report.

CIRRUS OCT Angiography
CIRRUS OCT Angiography is a method that uses differences between B-scans to generate
contrast associated with motion, in particular the motion of blood through the vasculature.
CIRRUS OCT Angiography can be subject to several of the same artifacts seen in OCT
structural imaging, and may also have some artifacts particular to this type of imaging. To
minimize errors and artifacts, acquire Angiography Cube scans with FastTrac on.
The scans used for CIRRUS OCT Angiography are: Angiography scan, Montage Angio scan,
and ONH Angiography scan.
NOTE: CIRRUS OCT Angiography is not intended as a substitute for fluorescein
angiography.
NOTE: Vascular findings on fluorescein angiography may be absent, poorly defined, or
variably defined on CIRRUS OCT Angiography. Additionally, leakage, staining, and pooling
are not features of CIRRUS OCT Angiography.
Angiography Scan
Scanning results in either a 3x3 mm, 6x6 mm, or 8x8 mm square cube, and is similar to the
Macular 512x128/200x200 cubes but uses an intensity-based frequency filtering technique
to generate images with detailed vasculature. To image vascular flow, each B-scan in the
scan pattern is repeated several times consecutively. Comparisons of contrast on
consecutive B-scans in the same location reveal some areas with contrast change over time
and some areas with constant contrast. Temporal contrast change in a specific location is
thought to be due to erythrocyte motion and hence indicates a vessel location.
Montage Angio Scan
The 6 6x6 mm or 5 8x8 mm scans increase the Field of View (FOV) of Cirrus OCTA through
the use of a montage to 10x14 mm and 14x14 mm respectively. The FOV, which is now
fixed, is comparable to traditional imaging systems such as mydriatic and non-mydriatic
fundus cameras. Wide-field montage images enable high-resolution vascular imaging over
a larger region of the retina to further expand the applicability of OCT angiography.
The Montage Angio acquisition workflow is unique from the other Angiography scan
acquisitions because you can acquire all the Angiography scans consecutively without
going to the Quality Check screen each time. You review all of the scans at the end of the
last scan you acquired. This ability shortens the time for both the patient and the operator.
ONH Angiography Scan
The 4.5x4.5 mm ONH Angiography scan expands the capability of CIRRUS, which enables
the use of OCTA in the vascular assessment of the optic nerve.

Macula
Posterior Segment Scans
The scans used for viewing the macula are: Macular Cube 200x200 and Macular Cube
512x128.
Macular Cube 200x200
This scan generates a cube of data through a 6 mm square grid by acquiring a series of
200 horizontal scan lines each composed of 200 A-scans and a central horizontal
HD B-scan.
Macular Cube 200x200

Optic Nerve
Macular Cube 512x128
This scan generates a cube of data through a 6 mm square grid by acquiring a series of
128 horizontal scan lines each composed of 512 A-scans and a central horizontal HD
B-scan. The Macular Cube 512x128 is the default scan. Compared to the 200x200, this
scan has greater resolution in each line from left to right, but the lines are spaced further
apart, giving less resolution from top to bottom. This scan can be used to measure macular
thickness (corneal thickness for anterior segment scans), and create a 3–D image of
the data.
Macular Cube 512x128
The scan used for viewing the optic nerve is the Optic Disc Cube 200x200 scan.
Optic Disc Cube 200x200
The Optic Disc Cube 200x200 generates a cube of data through a 6 mm square grid by

in the alignment of the optic disc (see Figure 6-17).
Optic Disc Cube 200x200
Integration
For an integrated view, both the Macular Cube scan and Optic Disc Cube scan are used.
Macular and Optic Disc Cube Scans
For an integrated view, the Macular Cube (512x128 mm or 200x200 mm) and Optic Disc
Cube (200x200 mm) scans are generated by combining a series of A-scans taken at varying
depths. Macular and Optic Disc Cube scans provide information about disc and fovea
parameters including (but not limited to):
Visualization
•Size
• Cup, disc, rim area and volume
• Nerve fiber layer thickness
• Ganglion cell layer thickness (macular cube)
In turn, the post processing tools available for scan analysis Chapter 8 "Analysis"
provide tools for RNFL and Ganglion cell layer estimation, which provide the earliest
warnings of glaucoma and other, neuro-ophthalmic conditions.
Cube scans are the most common acquisition types, and are used as the basis for the
largest number of CIRRUS HD-OCT analyses (see Tab le 8 -1).
Depending on your requirements, you can specify cube scans based on several geometries:
For a visualized view, either the Macular Cube scan or Optic Disc Cube scan is used.
Macular or Optic Disc Cube Scans
For an visualized view, either the Macular Cube (512x128 mm or 200x200 mm) or Optic
Disc Cube (200x200 mm) scan is generated. See the previous sections for information
about the two scans.

NOTE: HD 1 Line x100, HD 21 Line, HD Cross, and HD Radial scans are offered as an option
that may not be available in all markets and,when available in a market, may not be on all
instruments. If you do not have this feature and want to purchase it, contact Zeiss. In the
U.S.A., call 1-877-486-7473; outside the U.S.A., contact your local Zeiss distributor.
Guidelines for Raster Scans
For HD 5 Line scans, to switch between the HD 1 20x single line and multi–line scanning,
click the Toggle Spacing button located below the fundus image.
The toggle button remains available until the Single Line scan pattern is moved in the
acquisition window. To move the scan pattern and keep the button active, switch to 5 Line
mode before moving the scan pattern, and then switch back to Single Line mode. If you
move the Single Line pattern and want to switch back to 5 Line mode, just collapse the
scan.

NOTE: Sometimes switching from Color OCT to black and white () will allow you to see
more details in a high–resolution scan.
Scan Pattern Adjustments
Raster scans have adjustable scan patterns. You can use the image pattern controls on the
live Fundus image (Fundus Viewport, Posterior Scans) to manually change line length, line
spacing, or angle of rotation. You can also use the Custom Scan Pattern dialog box.
Adjustments apply to all scan lines.
If you adjust the scan pattern position, check that the retinal OCT B-scan images are not
too high in the viewport. When the edges of scan images are near the upper boundary,
they tend to fold over, reflecting a mirror image back into the viewport. If this occurs, or if
the scan image is completely inverted, adjust the image position using the Center controls.

Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI) is an optional mode for single and multi–line raster scans
that improves visibility of structures at the bottom of B-scans.
The signal to noise ratio in OCT scans varies across the axial range. The default CIRRUS
setup is such that the best signal is obtained at the top portion of the scan. Enhanced
Depth Imaging allows you to change the acquisition settings for the raster scans so that
the best signal to noise ratio is obtained at the bottom of the B-scan. This allows you to
obtain an HD image that is optimized in the region that is of interest for a particular scan.
To switch between EDI and standard scanning mode, select the EDI checkbox
below the fundus image.
Anterior Segment Scans
Scan Preparation
Instrument Imaging Process
When an anterior segment scan is selected or external lens mounted:
• The LSO illumination of the retina is turned off.
• The internal fixation target is centered. For all anterior segment scans, the patient sees
the green fixation target against a black background. The flashing red lines showing
the scan pattern of the selected scan type are blurry.
• The iris illumination is dimmed by default to avoid causing pupillary constriction.
• The internal lens audibly clicks as it is brought into position.

Scan Acquisition Controls
Not all posterior scan acquisition controls are available for anterior segment scans. For
anterior segment scans:
• There is no fundus image, and therefore the Auto Focus button and Z controls (left–
right Focus arrows) are not displayed. However, the Focus bar is still displayed,
showing the last focus for the patient.
• FastTrac is not available for anterior segment scans, and therefore the three FastTrac
buttons below the Capture button are not displayed.
•The Optimize button is available only for Anterior Segment Cube 512x128 and Anterior
Segment 5 Line Raster scans.
•The Auto–Enhance button, the Auto–Center button, and manual–center controls are
not available. The OCT display can be centered vertically in the live OCT window by
using the chinrest control buttons or the mouse scroll wheel. However, the shift key +
mouse scroll wheel does not bring the scan into the acquisition window for anterior
scans as it does for posterior scans.
Scan Pattern Adjustments
The scan pattern for anterior scans is displayed on the iris image. The scan pattern cannot
be moved, and scan length is not adjustable. Rotation and line spacing are adjustable for
the Anterior Segment 5 Line Raster scan. Rotation is adjustable for the HD Angle, HD
Cornea, Anterior Chamber, and Wide Angle-to-Angle scans. For more information on
adjusting scan patterns, see "Scan Pattern Adjustments" on page 6-5.

Aligning Scans Corrected for Beam Scanning Geometry and
Corneal Refraction
Anterior Chamber, Wide Angle-to-Angle, HD Cornea, HD Angle, and Pachymetry scans are
corrected to account for beam scanning geometry and refraction on the corneal surfaces.
These corrections are most accurate when acquired corneal scans are centered on the
corneal vertex, which generates a strong central reflection line on the live OCT image.
Typically the corneal vertex is just to the nasal side of the pupil center.
Center Corneal Scans on the Corneal Vertex

horizontally. The scan is adjustable from –89 to 90 degrees, though rotation may reduce
the field The 5.8 mm scan depth is achieved by allowing the source and mirror images to
overlap. Note that in the overlap region (indicated by blue overlay), source image detail
may be compromised. This scan requires the Anterior Chamber external lens. The Anterior
Chamber Scan provides the data used for Anterior Chamber measurements ("Anterior
Segment Scans" on page 6-6).
The Acquire screen displays the position of the Anterior Chamber scan pattern on the live
iris image. The OCT B-scan image on the right displays the cornea and mirror image of the
scan. The Anterior Chamber scan requires the Anterior Chamber external lens.
• Attach the external Anterior Chamber lens to the instrument lens mount, see
"Attaching an External Lens" on page 6-8.
• Instruct the patient to fixate on the center of the fixation target even though it may
not appear to be in focus.

Anterior Segment Scans
• Click the center of the pupil and use the screen X-Y and Z controls or keyboard arrow
keys and mouse scroll wheel to center the scan on the corneal vertex with the anterior
chamber visible in the B-scan viewport.
A strong vertical central reflection line on the B-scan indicates the scan is centered on
the corneal vertex.
• Center the image to see the lens of the eye and the anterior chamber angles.
• If the anterior chamber seems tilted, instruct the patient to shift his/her gaze slightly to
the left or right as needed to horizontally orient the anterior chamber.
• Separate the cornea image and mirror image as much as possible, without letting the
cornea images touch the iris images.
The correct position of the scan is shown in Figure 6-3. Three incorrectly aligned images
are shown in Figure 6-4: one with the iris touching the cornea, one with the cornea too
close, and one with an off–center image that obscures the eye lens.
The Anterior Segment Cube 512x128 Scan provides the data used for the Anterior Segment
Analysis ("Anterior Segment Scans" on page 6-6)
The Acquire screen displays the position of the Anterior Segment Cube 512x128 scan
pattern on the live iris image. The OCT B-scan images on the right correspond to the
horizontal and vertical scan lines of the selected slice in the cube, with the smaller images
corresponding to the top and bottom horizontal cube slices (see Figure 6-5).
2660021169012 Rev. A 2017-12CIRRUS HD-OCT User Manual
Guidelines for Anterior Segment Cube 512x128 Scan Acquisition
• Instruct the patient to fixate on the center of the fixation target.
• Use the screen X, Y and Z controls or keyboard arrow keys and mouse scroll wheel to
center the scan on the corneal vertex with the anterior chamber visible in the B-scan
viewport.to center the scan between the gray bars on either side of the B-scan display,
as shown in Figure 6-5.
• If the patient’s cornea is perfectly centered, a strong reflection from the anterior
cornea can produce bright artifacts in the HD Cornea display (Figure 6-6). The scan
alignment should be slightly offset from the center by adjusting the chinrest to avoid
the corneal reflection.
CIRRUS HD-OCT User Manual2660021169012 Rev. A 2017-12
NOTE: For the Anterior Segment Cube 512x128 and Anterior Segment 5 Line Raster scans,
the instrument focuses the OCT beam onto the anterior segment. The OCT beam scans in
an arc to allow the curved cornea to better fit into the 2mm scan depth. This will cause the
cornea to appear flat in the display during alignment and acquisition. This effect is partially
corrected for after acquisition, so the cornea will appear with the expected curvature
during review and analysis.
The HD Angle is the preferred scan for imaging the anterior chamber angle. It gives the
highest resolution and greatest detail of the iridocorneal angle. Wide Angle-to-Angle and
Anterior Chamber scans may also be used for anterior chamber angle analysis. All three
scans have an angle measurement tool (see "In HD Angle Analysis" on page 8-53).
The HD Angle and Wide Angle-to-Angle scans also have an iridocorneal (IC) angle tool to
measure iridocorneal angle features (see "Angle Measurements" on page 8-53).
This scan, available for anterior segment scans only, generates a speckle–reduced raster
scan at a depth of 2.9 mm using 20 B-scans, each composed of 1024 A scans. The scan is
6.0 mm in length, with an adjustable angle from –89 to 90 degrees. The scan highlights
one iridocorneal angle, which can be measured via specialized angle calipers in the HD
Angle Scan Analysis ("In HD Angle Analysis" on page 8-53).
The Acquire screen displays the position of the HD Angle scan pattern on the live iris image
and displays the OCT B-scan image on the right.

Guidelines for HD Angle Scan Acquisition
• For an HD Angle scan, you may need to use the external fixation device if the patient
has difficulty fixating without the internal fixation target, which is not in view when
the limbus of the scan eye is optimally exposed. The external fixation device may help
the patient fixate with the eye that is not being scanned, for correct angle alignment.
• Adjust the area of the eye visible in the Iris viewport until the iris is in clear focus, and
make coarse adjustments with the X-Y controls to move the chinrest until the
corneoscleral junction is in view.
• Use the mouse scroll wheel to bring the angle into view on the B-scan, centering it in
the lower quadrant of the B-scan viewport and maximizing exposure of the cornea.
• If the angle recess in the B-scan appears shadowed by the sclera, move the scan
slightly along the limbus to minimize the effect, or ask the patient to adjust fixation
further away from center.
• Align the scan at the desired location on the limbus, and then align the B-scan so that
the anterior chamber angle falls in the lower left and lower right quadrant,
respectively. Figure 6-7 shows a well–aligned scan and live OCT image of
an HD Angle scan.

Acquire Screen and Controls
Iris Viewport
The Iris Viewport lies in the upper left quadrant of the main Acquire screen Viewport
(Figure 6-12). During scanning the iris and pupil of the current patient is shown in real
time. Within this viewport you can:
• Select the appropriate lens type from the Lens drop-down menu, depending on the
scan type you have selected.
• Adjust the chinrest either automatically or manually.
• Target the patient pupil using the left mouse button to move the fixation target to the
center of the pupil image.
• Enhance (), adjust brightness and contrast (), or reset the pupil target .
Proper alignment of the scan beam to the pupil is required in three dimensions, X, Y
(transverse), and Z (axial). CIRRUS provides automated alignment controls by clicking the
Iris Viewport as well as manual controls both on–screen and via the keyboard (X-Y). These
controls will adjust the chinrest and forehead rest so that the eye is properly aligned for the
OCT scan. Start by using the mouse to change depth (mouse wheel), or move left to right.
Once you’ve aligned the target as well as possible using the mouse controls, use the
manual controls are to fine tune the alignment.
You may also use the keyboard to auto–adjust the alignment by using the keyboard arrow
buttons that correspond to the X-Y controls. Press Ctrl with the keyboard arrow keys for
finer adjustments. Adjustments occur in discrete steps when you click and release. When
you click and hold the arrow, the adjustment motion becomes continuous until you release.
Scan Position Montage
The Scan Position Montage provides a visual representation of the retinal
scan location.
6x6 mm Montage Angio Scan
The 6x6 mm Montage workflow includes 6 scans at different positions and the fixation

Acquire Screen and Controls
Fundus Viewport
The Fundus Viewport lies in the lower left quadrant of the main Acquire screen Viewport as
shown in Figure 6-12, and shows a live fundus image from the line scanning
ophthalmoscope (LSO). The Fundus Viewport is not available for Anterior scans. As with
the Iris Viewport, there are a number of options available for optimizing the patient scan:
• Focus/Auto Focus will attempt to compensate for the patient’s refractive error by
automatically changing the focus adjustment. This may help clear up a dim fundus
view and will also help clear up the fixation target for a patient whose refractive error
is considerable. In addition to improving the overall focus, the Auto Focus feature will
do an additional adjustment on the brightness and contrast of the fundus image.
•The Transparency slider is active when a saved scan image overlay is present, which
occurs when you are using a prior scan.
• Prior scan will appear as a selectable link, as shown in the margin. If your patient has
been scanned previously, selecting this option will open up a small screen with a list of
the patient’s previous scans. Once you select a previous scan, the location of that scan
will appear as a live link, and serve as a reference as you acquire the current scan. You
can change the prior, reference scan, at any time. You can also initiate an exact replica
of a prior scan using the Auto Repeat function (Figure 6-20).
• Optimize automatically optimizes first the scan image centering (Z-offset), and then
optimizes the scan image quality (polarization). Instruct the patient not to blink during
optimization.
• Enhance (), adjust brightness and contrast (), or reset the fixation target .
When you select (), one of the following dialog boxes will appear.
• If you have the tracking selection enabled ("Toolbar Options" on page 3-5),

of the tissue is outside the B-scan window. In some patients, it may be difficult to
align the tissue within the B-scan entirely, such as those with high myopia or other
kinds of atypical anatomies; for example, tilted retinas or posterior staphylomas. For
these patients, the user may turn off Z monitoring, as shown in the OCT Tomogram
figure on the previous page. To turn this option off, click the wand button next to
the B-scan in the lower right of the Acquire Scan screen. If tracking is
dialog box includes the Show Alignment checkbox. For any Macular Cube Scan, this
checkbox toggles display of an alignment tool that is locked in position relative to the
scan pattern; the alignment tool moves when you move the scan pattern and vice
versa. This tool is designed to be placed over the optic disc to assist in accurately
repeating scan pattern placement for future scans of the same eye. For macular scans,
placing the alignment tool over the optic disc results in the scan center being within 1
mm of the fovea for most patients. This tool is helpful when the fovea is difficult to
find in extreme edema, cataract, or floater situations.
For optic disc scans, the alignment tool is centered on the scan pattern and on by default.

For Optic Disc Cube 200x200 scans, it is not necessary to precisely center the optic disc in
the scan image because the analysis algorithm can correctly place the Calculation Circle
around the optic disc even when it is not well centered. Though it is sufficient to keep the
optic disc within the outer dashed circle, it is best to center the scan on the optic disc as
well as possible. The

Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI) is an optional mode for single and multi–line raster scans
that improves visibility of structures at the bottom of B-scans. The signal to noise ratio in
OCT scans varies across the axial range. The default CIRRUS setup is such that the best
signal is obtained at the top portion of the scan. Enhanced Depth Imaging allows you to
change the acquisition settings for the raster scans so that the best signal to noise ratio is
obtained at the bottom of the B-scan. This allows you to obtain an HD image that is
optimized in the region that is of interest for a particular scan. To switch between EDI and
standard scanning mode, select the EDI checkbox below the fundus image.

retinal tracking system tracks eye movement and enables tracking of the current scan
to the position of a prior scan. The FastTrac retinal tracking system on CIRRUS HD-OCT
uses multiple channels of concurrent imaging to monitor the motion of the eye in
real–time. During acquisition, motion is automatically detected and tracked to the
eye. The motion of the retina is observed at a high rate to ensure higher efficiency in
reducing the effects of motion. Most importantly, FastTrac ensures faster data
acquisition by only re-scanning data affected by motion. FastTrac also allows precise
scanning at follow-up visits to acquire data at the same region of the eye allowing for
better progression analysis.
In addition to the selectable options that appear on the Acquisition screen, you can adjust
certain system parameters using the left mouse button and scroll wheel, and open
additional options by clicking the right mouse button. Mouse controls and options are
discussed below.
Mouse Controls
Using your mouse provides a rapid way of accessing most of the controls that are available
as buttons or in menus on the CIRRUS screens. During scan acquisition you can adjust scan
pattern placement using your mouse for posterior scans by hovering over the fundus image
(the mouse cursor will turn into a ), and dragging the scan pattern box area to another
position.
6-27
Hover the mouse over the fixation target icon (the mouse icon will turn into ), and
then click and drag the fixation target to change the center its location to one of 9 pre-set
locations.
Right-clicking the mouse will bring up an option box that allows you to select to Rapid
Refresh View (model 500 only). This is a great tool for patients with unsteady fixation as it
increases the rate at which the screen refreshes, reducing the affect of unsteady fixation.
Double-clicking anywhere on the fundus image will change the fixation location to bring
that point (clicked) into the center of view.
Live Scan Viewports
The right half of the main Acquire Scan Viewport comprises the live data feed based on
your current iris and fundus settings. The number of viewports may vary depending on the
scan type selected. Each scan view includes a color–coded scan marker at upper left, to
identify scan lines. The color and orientation of each marker correspond to the color and
orientation of the lines that make up the scan pattern overlay derived from the Fundus
Viewport (for posterior segment scans) or the Iris Viewport (for anterior segment scans).
Live scans can be adjusted in real time using
• Center Live Scan allows you to adjust the zoom (Z-offset) of posterior segment
live scans. Associated up and down arrow buttons enable you to adjust the value
manually.

• Enhance Live Scan allows you to adjust the polarization (X,Y–offsets) of
posterior segment live scans. Associated up and down arrow buttons enable you to
adjust each manually.
NOTE: HD Angle scans are not aligned to the corneal vertex.
NOTE: If a button or menu option does not appear on the Acquisition screen for your
current scan selection then that function is not available for the current scan.
General Acquire Procedure
This section contains information about acquiring scans supported in CIRRUS HD-OCT.
NOTE: Review both the "Acquire Screen and Controls" on page 6-19 and "Set Up
for Maximum Image Quality" on page 6-31 sections prior to acquiring scans.
Once you have selected the patient of interest, the Acquire button at the bottom of the
Patient screen becomes selectable.
NOTE: The first scan selection and scan of the day will run slightly slower than all later
scans.
NOTE: To minimize errors and artifacts, acquire OCTA Cube scans with FastTrac on.
• HD Line 100x: A single high definition OCT B-scan, using 1024 A-scans, with
selectable B-scan averaging 100 frames with an adjustable length from 3 mm to
9 mm and an adjustable angle from 0 to 90 degrees.
To Begin Scan Acquisition:
1. Ensure that the Patient is fully prepared for the scan as described in "Patient Good
Practices" on page 5-1.
2. Select Acquire. The screen will change to indicate the scan types available.
3. Select the scan type of interest
4. Ask the patient to hold their gaze and head steady (as the chinrest will be moving)
and select Auto Focus in the Fundus Viewport.
5. Left–click the pupil center of the live image in the Iris Viewport to center the scan
beam through the pupil.
6. After Auto Focus, check the Iris Viewport to ensure that the pupil is still centered. If
the Fundus Viewport turns dark following Auto Focus, center the pupil, click ,
then click the Auto B/C button. If additional brightness and contrast changes are
necessary, use the appropriate slider controls.
7. Further adjust the chinrest manually, if necessary, by use the circular X-Y control (see
"Iris Viewport (Posterior Segment Scan) and Anterior Segment Scan
Patterns" on page 6-29). Use Z controls (left–right arrows or mouse scroll wheel)
to reach the proper working distance by bringing the iris image into focus.
8. Use Enhance (polarization) and Center (Z-offset) (posterior segment scans only)
buttons and sliders to the left help you improve the scan image quality and center it
vertically.
