It is worth mentioning that Fuhan Medical has a series of ophthalmic wide-field imaging systems under the brand Correton, in addition to other products., andIn response to the difficulty of performing OCT examinations on infants and young children, an innovative development has been made.World's First Infant and Pediatric Ophthalmic Contact OCT, This product can be used forTomographic Imaging and Analysis of the Posterior Segment in Infants and Young Children, assisting doctors in obtaining depth information of infants' fundus tomography, reducing the probability of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, decreasing childhood blindness, and effectively filling the global market gap for infant ophthalmic OCT.Function Upgrade：Upgrade Retinal Angiography Function, Independent contrast light source design with one machine and two handles, higher fluorescein excitation efficiency.Free Adjustment: During the filming processFreely adjustable field of view at 90°, 130°, and 160°，With 13 million high-definition images and a minimum lens diameter of 7mm, it can detect pediatric fundus lesions more accurately and quickly.CoreRay Three Field-of-View Angles One-Touch SwitchingScreen Deflectable:Deflectable ScreenMore suitable for bedside examination in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), which can be flexibly switched between trolley mode and laptop mode, meeting clinical needs across different scenarios in various departments and hospital zones.Deflectable Examination Handle ScreenRich Software:The intelligent software is even more abundant, such asArtificial intelligence capture, intelligent lesion recognition and measurement systems, etc.- FFA Imaging:Improved the contrast and visibility of blood vessels, enabling the recognition of some subtle vascular changes.
- Image Enhancement Technology:Combining algorithms such as image enhancement, filtering, denoising, and deep learning, further improving the quality of fundus images.
- Hemorrhage Detection and Quantitative Analysis of Hemorrhage Area:Self-developed AI AlgorithmAutomatic Segmentation and Quantitative Measurement of Fundus Lesions, providing doctors with more objective and precise data support through in-depth data mining.
- Panoramic Stitching:Coreton Ultra is based onLoFTRSplicing Technology,Intelligently stitching multiple fundus images from different perspectives，Can display full-eye fundus images, allowing doctors to obtain more comprehensive fundus information, making the diagnosis through image reading more intuitive and accurate, and providing assistance for the zoning of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP).
# Product Iteration and UpgradeSince 2020, Fuhan Medical has officially launched the research and development of ophthalmic wide-field imaging systems,Thus, the Creton Ophthalmology Wide-field Imaging System has completed the iterative upgrade of three products.。These products provide important technical support in the field of pediatric ophthalmology, especially in neonatal fundus screening.Keruitong KRS-01:This is launched by Fuhan MedicalThe First Ophthalmic Wide-field Imaging System, withWorld's first 160° ultra-wide-angle shooting lens, with a wider shooting range than traditional lenses, a lens diameter of only 7mm, and a wireless handle weighing just 400 grams.Coreton Mini: Mini, while retaining the superior optical characteristics of the Keratop series, has undergone a comprehensive upgrade in portability and cost-effectiveness.The handle weighs only 200g.。# Product Market OverviewCurrentlyContact systems in the global market are still inIntroduction PeriodIn 2022, statistics from projects supported by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) showed that globally,50% of Doctors Use Only Indirect Ophthalmoscopes for Neonatal Fundus Disease Diagnosis，67% of doctors do not have access to fundus imaging systems.，20% of doctors simply take fundus photographs using mobile phones and other imaging recording systems.。
Mobile phones and other imaging recording systems generally have an imaging field of view within 65 degrees. Compared to the current professional contact-based fundus imaging systems (Retcam, Phoenix, Forus in the figure below) with 130-degree imaging, it is more difficult to clearly observe the peripheral areas of the fundus that are prone to lesions. Moreover, they cannot be integrated with cutting-edge optical examination technologies such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
▲Statistical Results of UNICEF-Supported Projects in 2022The number of newborns in China who need fundus examination each yearMore Than a Million CasesThis includes preterm infants accounting for about 10% of the birth population and high-risk newborns triggered by abnormal oxygen intake, as required by the state for screening, as well as infants and young children with abnormal fundus development caused by genetic disease risks or other factor-related risks that are not covered by the screening requirements.According to the U.S. statistical data on preterm infants published in May 2023,After using a precise contact fundus camera for examination, the incidence of retinal diseases in premature infants has been increasing year by year, butThe incidence of ophthalmic diseases such as blindness, amblyopia, and strabismus has been effectively controlled.. On the one hand, it indicatesContact-based fundus imaging systems are also in the introduction phase in the United States.，With the promotion of advanced equipment, more pediatric fundus diseases can be effectively detected and intervened in the early stage; on the other hand, it alsoReflects the demand for contact-based fundus imaging systems, thereby achieving the goals of disease treatment and control in pediatric ophthalmology.。▲ The incidence of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in the United States continues to rise (due toJAMA ophthalmology）In 2022,Global sales of contact imaging systems for newborns (wide-field fundus cameras for newborns) reached $1.535 billion, and the global market is expected to reach $2.535 billion by 2030, showing relatively rapid growth.。Contact-based fundus imaging system by Natus (USA)CreRe Medical）and Phoenix Company dominate, forming a near-monopoly in China., the product's high price and complex lens components have made the promotion of this diagnostic tool in developing countries extremely difficult. However, developing countries have a strong demand for high-quality, cost-effective contact fundus imaging systems.The demand is increasing day by day.，The success of India's domestic brand Forus Camera in the Indian market is sufficient to illustrate.Huge Market Space in Developing Countries。▲ Products from Natus (USA) (left) and Forus (India) (right)Neonatal Digital Wide-field Fundus Imaging System Developed by American Clarity MedicalRetCam3, a professional diagnostic device for neonatal fundus widely used in clinical settings both in China and internationally, has obtained dual certification from the U.S. FDA and China CFDA., through regulationThe angle between the 130-degree wide-angle lens and the cornea, with an overlapping viewing angle of over 200 degrees across all quadrants of the fundus., which is beneficial for the accurate diagnosis of various neonatal congenital eye diseases and fundus lesions.Fourth-Generation RetCam Envision™Adopted a completely new optical path design, with precise coupling efficiency, numerical aperture, light-gathering performance, and incident angle.Control, allowing the soft and bright light source to pass through the narrow pupil with almost "no loss"。
Currently, there are 8 ophthalmic wide-field imaging systems that have been approved for marketing in China., respectively fromFuhan MedicalFuhan Medical, Fuerzuo Medical, Shangbang Medical, Eshihe Medical, Suowei Electronics, and Aikelian Medical。
