Intended Use

An AC-Powered slitlamp biomicroscope is intended for use in eye examination of the anterior segment, from the cornea epithelium to the posterior capsule. It is used to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma which affect the structural properties of the anterior eye segment.

Device Story

The Xcel 255 Slit Lamp is an AC-powered biomicroscope used by eye care professionals in clinical settings. It provides magnified, illuminated views of the anterior segment of the eye, including the cornea, iris, lens, and anterior chamber. The device functions by projecting a focused, adjustable slit of light onto the eye, allowing the clinician to perform detailed structural examinations. By visualizing the anterior segment, the clinician can identify signs of disease, injury, or trauma. The output is a direct optical view for the clinician, which informs clinical decision-making regarding diagnosis and treatment planning for ocular conditions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

AC-powered slit lamp biomicroscope; optical magnification and illumination system for anterior segment visualization; standard clinical form factor; electrical safety compliance per 21 CFR 886.1850.

Indications for Use

Indicated for eye examination of the anterior segment (cornea epithelium to posterior capsule) to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma affecting the structural properties of the anterior eye segment in patients requiring ophthalmic evaluation.
