Humphrey Field Analyzer 3 (Brand Name or Equal) INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND: A visual field test is an eye examination that can detect dysfunction in central and peripheral vision which may be caused by various medical conditions such as glaucoma, stroke, pituitary disease, brain tumors or other neurological deficits. Visual field testing can be performed clinically by keeping the subject's gaze fixed while presenting objects at various places within their visual field. Simple manual equipment can be used such as in the tangent screen test or the Amsler grid. When dedicated machinery is used it is called a perimeter.

The one (1) Humphrey Field Analyzer 3 with Liquid Trail Lens, Printer & Table or equivalent must have the following specifications: B1.2.1 Liquid Lens technology Using Liquid pressure, 1 trail lens for patients, using Liquid pressure, the new Liquid Trial Lens instantly delivers each patient s refractive correction, reduces patient setup time by automatically loading each patients refractive correction from previous exam. The result is faster patient flow and reduced chance of error by not needing to select a lens during set up, one trial lens for all patients. B1.2.2 SmartTouch interface: Touch screen interface allows for a more efficient workflow B1.2.3 RelEye: The RelEYE fixation monitoring system allows for systematic and pin point fixation inspection. The HFA 3 captures and keeps the image of the eye during the testing and just after, prior to the Result Review Screen. RelEYE cannot be viewed on the HFA 3 after terminating the test. Using the HFA 3, RelEYE is also available in FORUM Glaucoma Workplace (minimum version 2.0.3). Only FORUM can keep the RelEYE data stored for future usage for exporting exams. B1.2.4 Kinetic testing emulates standard Goldmann perimetry B1.2.5 Guided Progression Analysis (GPA ): GPA allows the doctor to compare visual field status and progression to data collected from glaucoma subjects. GPA provides statistically significant change as well as rate of change, and predict future vision quality. B1.2.6 RelEye: The RelEYE fixation monitoring system allows for systematic and pin point fixation inspection. The HFA 3 captures and keeps the image of the eye during the testing and just after, prior to the Result Review Screen. RelEYE cannot be viewed on the HFA 3 after terminating the test. Using the HFA 3, RelEYE is also available in FORUM Glaucoma Workplace (minimum version 2.0.3). Only FORUM can keep the RelEYE data stored for future usage for exporting exams. B1.2.7 Visual Field Index (Summary measurement of visual field status expressed as a percent of a normal age-adjusted visual field) B1.2.8 SITA-SWAP Blue-Yellow Perimetry: Replaces the Full Threshold and FastPac strategies for testing SWAP visual fields due to the much shorter test times available when utilizing SITA SWAP B1.2.9 Operating System: Windows 10 B1.2.10 STATPAC : It is a software package using normative values and patient data to perform statistically analysis to help interpret test data. STATPAC is the software, normative data and statistical analysis in HFA. B1.2.11 SITA (Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm) Unique patented algorithm utilized in the majority of case studies by universities and drug manufacturers, Normative data for SITA Standard and SITA Fast for 30-2, 24-2 and 10-2 threshold visual field test results from healthy subjects, ages 17 to 89, Central archive storage, combined reporting, seamless integration with EMRs, Dramatically reduces test time without sacrificing accuracy, Achieves the fastest possible test with less fatigue, Designed to deliver reliable result. B1.2.12 Glaucoma Hemfield Test Compares points in the superior and inferior hemifield to provide analysis of test results. On 24-2 and 30-2 tests, the GHT evaluates five zones in the superior field and compares these zones to their mirrored zones in the inferior field. The GHT evaluates the severity of disturbed points in each zone pair, relative to its normal database B2.3.13 The database can be removed from the instrument. B2.3.14 Specialty test library: Social Security Disability, monocular, binocular, Esterman monocular, binocular, superior 36, 64 Kinetic testing, Custom Kinetic testing, custom static testing B2.3.15 Complete visual field history efficiently presented in a single display, Serial testing presented on a single page report.
