  1. SVOP Applications, features and benefits Best New Life Sciences Company in Scotland 2013

  2. The SVOP: An Overview • The SVOP is a Saccadic Vector Optokinetic Perimeter • The SVOP is a visual field analyser invented at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, UK and commercialised by i2eye Diagnostics Ltd. • The SVOP was developed to meet a clinical need to screen young children and those unable to perform a standard visual field. • The SVOP is easy and intuitive to use by both patients and operators. It can screen patients from under one year old to over 70 • The SVOP produces a standard visual field plot familiar to all eye-care professionals.

  3. How Does the SVOP Work? • There is an introductory video to the SVOP on i2eye’s website at: www.i2eyediagnostics.com • The SVOP has an eye-tracker to continuously monitor the patient’s gaze direction and distance from the instrument. It uses this information to: • Confirm their fixation, • Accurately place target images within the central 30 degrees of their visual field and, • Record their response by tracking their eye movement as they react to the appearance of the target.

  5. The SVOP Patient Benefits • Patient comfort • Free head movement • No head or chin rest • No physical contact with the instrument • Some movement allowed • Concentration benefits • Simple intuitive test, no complex instructions • Response recorded objectively without considered feedback from the patient • Test normally complete within three minutes

  6. Coverage of Conventional VF’s • Conventional automatic static perimeters can screen approx. 60 % of the population who are aged between 10 and 70 years and are neurologically normal. • Young children, the frail elderly and those with compromised neurological function cannot be screened reliably

  7. Coverage of the SVOP • The SVOP can screen over 85% of the population aged between one and >70 years who are neurologically normal • Infants and the frail elderly can be screened reliably • A proportion of neurologically compromised subjects can be tested

  8. The SVOP Advantage • The SVOP is a rapid automatic screening test suitable for >90 % of neurologically normal subjects with normal eyes • The SVOP is suitable for all ages from one to over 70 years • A normal result has a 95% confidence level • An abnormal or ambiguous result requires further investigation • Low operator skill (nurse, technician etc) • Low patient stress • 2 minute test • Central 30 degree field

  9. The correct patient • Understand current limitations • Neurologically intact with normal eyes 95% success • Brain tumours/discreet lesions approx. 50% success • Paediatric stroke approx. 30% success rates • Cerebral palsy <10% success Research Horizons No engagement No calibration • The patient must engage and calibrate • 5-10% of patients will not look at or maintain engagement with the screen • Too few calibration points for accurate tracking • Eyetracker line of sight blocked – hair, glasses, dry eyes, deep-set eyes • Abnormal eye does not fit model – switch to KidzEyez or other method Calibrates but is unreliable • Principal research opportunities • 30-50% of neurologically compromised patients give inconsistent results that are not as anticipated • Condition specific normative data, analysis and interpretation necessary to improve performance of SVOP- collaboration, Open Innovation Calibrates and tests • Screening and testing • Screens 95% of the neurologically healthy population • Rapidly (2 minutes) identifies those who require further investigation • Frees resources to concentrate in areas of need • Ongoing internal and collaborative research is continually improving reach

  10. Research Horizons for the SVOP • SVOP is a new generation of visual function tester. • There are research opportunities to improve its reach into testing severely neurologically compromised individuals • i2eye actively encourages collaborative and third-party research through Open Innovation

  12. Availability • SVOP is commercially available now in: • Europe (CE marked class 2a medical device) • Australia (TGA approved class 2a medical device) • USA (FDA listed class 1 medical device exempt from 510(k) • SVOP costs (POA) including: • Delivery and training • 12 month warranty • 12 month software updates including those that enhance performance or reach. • Email and telephone support • Ongoing maintenance contracts from Euro 1000 per year
