The necessary capacity of memory and hard disk are changed depending 10
on the CPU in the personal computer or environment.
If the number of "Thread" in CPU is beyond 4, the processing may be 10
delayed. Reduce the number of "Thread" to use this software.
When the object to be displayed is changed, start this software again. 18
When entering the patient ID through the 3D OCT-1, a bar code reader, a 25
card reader, IMAGEnet, Multi-Viewer, etc., you must use only the alphabet,
numerals and "-". Moreover, the following symbols cannot be used for the
patient ID.
" \ / : 'Space' * ? . <> | _ ! # $ %
If you use a patient ID which does not meet the above conditions, the report
cannot be output correctly from time to time.
When the photography data is displayed, "Normative Date" is displayed 27
according to the patient's age at the photography date. However, it is limited
as mentioned below.
• When the patient is under 19, "Normative Data" for the age of 20 is dis-
played as reference.
• When the patient is over 81 years old, "Normative Data" for the age of 80
is displayed as reference.
When clicking the [Capture] button, sometimes the message "Ocular optical 28
information value exceeded the compensated limitation. Default value shall
apply." is displayed.
In this case, access "Data Management" again. Click the [Edit patient infor-
mation]" button and then the [Ocular Param.] button to correct "Ocular
Parameters".
Sometimes the analysis function is not normally finished. In this case, the 62
thumbnail is marked with "Fail".
For "B-2: Filter", the data of the image being displayed are used and so you 83
cannot change the values of "Filter" directly.
The Measure Image function is based on the theoretical Gullstrand eye 90
model. If the parameters of the actual patient's eye, such as the diopter or
axial length, are different from the Gullstrand eye model, the measurement
results may be different from the length and size in reality. The clinician will
be solely responsible for the diagnoses and treatments based on the mea-
surement results.
When modifying the data in optic disc analysis (refer to "4.2. Analyzing the 94
Optic Disc" (P.132), the circle center is calculated again.
7
When you have reanalyzed the data modified manually, the data modified 96
manually are erased and the "Disc" calculated automatically by the analysis
mode set in the "OCTSet Analysis" tab on P.219 is applied.
As the result of automatic positioning, the fundus image is sometimes 121
deformed to the oval shape on the fundus image display area (A-3). This is
the result of the positioning process and there is no problem.
After analysis, the images are automatically positioned. If sufficient data 121
required for overlapping are not provided, automatic positioning may not be
done correctly.
When you have changed to the original tomogram after changing to two or 131
more tomograms on the screen, you cannot return the edited layers to the
original status by "Undo Modify". After carrying out "Exit Modify", the edited
layers are decided and cannot be returned to the original status. However,
in both cases, the data are not saved. If you return to the patient list screen
without saving the data, you can start the operation from the beginning.
You cannot perform "Modify" for the image photographed by "OverSam- 131
pling". When the "OverSampling" image is selected, the "Modify" function is
OFF. For the photography with "OverSampling", refer to the instruction
manual of the 3D OCT-2000 instrument body.
In the automatic optic disc analysis, sometimes errors occur due to the pho- 138
tographed condition as shown below. In this case, using the menu "Disc
Modify" displayed when selecting "Disc Segmentation", you can modify the
analysis result. Refer to "Disc Modify" on P.95 in addition to this page.
When RPE was not detected correctly (If the patients blinked, his/her fixa- 162
tion moved during scan, the tomogram overlaps the top edge of the image
area, or the image quality is low, this may occur), the analysis result may
not be correct.
The result of registration is as follows: Double-click an optional point on the 171
two tomogram display areas, the two fundus image display areas and the
upper right "Compare Window". The green line with a cross mark appears.
(Pin-point Registration™) Sometimes this green line with a cross mark
appears out of the 3D scan area (green frame).
There are two probable causes.

• On the two fundus image display areas, the fundus image is not aligned
with the "Overlay" image correctly.
• On "Compare Window", the two "Shadowgram" images are not aligned
with each other correctly.
To obtain the correct results, check the alignment on the two fundus image
display areas and on "Compare Window". If the images are not aligned cor-
rectly, carry out "Reposition" and repeat Step 2 and 3.
The insufficient memory error may occur when selecting ten tomograms 175
depending on the environment.
8
After clicking [Run] in the "Register" menu, Thickness Map is not displayed 175
from time to time. In this case, click [On/Off] in the "Thickness" menu.
To display Thickness Map, the same layers in the selected image as those 175
in "Image 1" must be analyzed. If the different layer has been analyzed,
click the layer detection display selector buttons properly (refer to "A-2:
Image Processing Controls area" on P.83) and analyze the necessary layer.
Then, try the operation again to display Thickness Map.
Make sure that no other windows or images are blocking or placed over the 178
Volume window during the movie-saving/recording procedure.
When batch export of the data including "_" (underbar) is performed for the 181
patient ID which was created by the old version software, sometimes the
data cannot be output with the filename that was set through "OCTSet".
When the analysis has failed, it is probable that the instrument did not take 190
a picture correctly. It is possible that the analysis will be successful if the
instrument takes a picture again.
To prevent your software from being infected with a computer virus through 214
the network:
• Please prepare an antivirus software. Please use the antivirus software
applicable to your use environment.
• TOPCON has already checked this instrument's operation when Trend
Micro Virus Buster Corporate Edition (Ver10.0 Service Pack 1) of Trend

scan area (in 3D scan except the above-mentioned scans)
ETDRS The nine fields separated from the three concentric circles (diameter: 1, 3 and
6mm) by the ±45-degree line.
RNFL4 The area divided into four sections equally on the circumference. The circle radius
can be changed by selecting "On" of [On/Off] in the [Circle] menu.
RNFL6 The area divided into six sections equally on the circumference by 45 degrees in
vertical direction and by 90 degrees in horizontal direction. The circle radius can
be changed by selecting "On" of [On/Off] in the [Circle] menu.
RNFL12 The area divided into twelve sections equally on the circumference. The circle
radius can be changed by selecting "On" of [On/Off] in the [Circle] menu.

"RNFL4", "RNFL6" and "RNFL12" are valid for "3D: Disc, 6.0×6.0mm".
The Measure Image function is based on the theoretical Gullstrand eye

model. If the parameters of the actual patient's eye, such as the diopter
or axial length, are different from the Gullstrand eye model, the mea-
CAUTION surement results may be different from the length and size in reality. The
clinician will be solely responsible for the diagnoses and treatments
based on the measurement results.

How to calculate Disc Topo parameters
(1) DA
The RPE edge points, which are detected radially from the Disc center, are regarded as the Disc
detection points. The inside of the closed curve that connects all the Disc detection points is regarded
as the Disc area, and this area is calculated. An approximate plane that is calculated from all the Disc
detection points is defined as "Reference surface". Parameters are obtained when observing this ref-
erence surface in the vertical direction.

(2) CA
The "referring surface" which has moved on the reference surface vertically by a given distance (this
can be set optionally and default is 120µm) crosses ILM. This crossing point is the Cup detection
point. The inside of the closed curve that connects all the Cup detection points is regarded as the
Cup area, and this area is calculated.

for Thickness Map of others except "Image 1".
The insufficient memory error may occur when selecting ten tomograms
CAUTION depending on the environment.
If the picture position is too far from the instrument or if the fundus image is blurred or dark, you
may fail in "3D Mosaic Comparison". In this case, use "Reposition".
Carry out "Reposition" for "Image 2" first and then other Images in turn. When "Reposition" is per-
formed for one Image, others that will be processed in the same way should be hidden on the
screen. So, you can perform "Reposition" easily. (For example, when you perform "3D Mosaic
Comparison" for four data, carry out "Reposition" for "Image 2" first in the condition that "Image 3"
and "Image 4" are hidden. Next, display "Image 3" and perform "Reposition" for it and finally per-
form "Reposition" for "Image 4".)
After clicking [Run] in the "Register" menu, Thickness Map is not dis-
CAUTION played from time to time. In this case, click [On/Off] in the "Thickness"
menu.

SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS
1. Such a message may be displayed while the software is in operation.

Click "Don't Send" button. Finish the software.
There is no influence on the saved measurement data. Restart the software and analyze the measure-
ment data again.
2. Please do not capture when you save the capture data. (While displaying )
You occasionally fail in capture.
3. If the following display appears, please restart the program.
4. If the memory is not enough, please restart the program.
209
5. When analyzing, please do not change the following setting.
"Volume Scale" and "B-Scan Scale" in "Display" of "Options"
6. It is necessary to install "Internet Explorer Version 8 (IE8)" or "Internet Explorer Version 9 (IE9)" in the
personal computer for 3D OCT. If any other browser except these is used, the report cannot be output
properly from time to time.
7. If you perform the following actions while the report is displayed, the report is not displayed correctly
from time to time.
• Turning on/off (connecting/disconnecting) the printer
• Changing the setting for the printer that is usually used on Windows
In this case, return to the "Viewer" screen and display the report again.
8. Sometimes the "FastMap (PC)" grabber timer does not count though the counter on the OCT instru-
ment operates in the fundus grabber mode.
In this case, it is probable that LAN is disconnected temporarily. After checking the LAN connection,
finish "FastMap (PC)" to finish the procedure. Then, restart the procedure with [Capture Data].
9. Sometimes the "FastMap (PC)" grabber is not activated though the OCT instrument takes a picture in
the fundus mode.
210
10. When the OCT instrument and "FastMap (PC)" have already shifted to the photography mode, the
system does not take a picture occasionally though the operator presses the photography trigger.
11. After pressing the [Capture Data] button, the system does not respond for 30 - 40 seconds. Then,
"3D OCT is not ready" is displayed. The probable causes are shown below.
• The OCT instrument is not turned on.
• The OCT instrument is turned on but the application program is in the start process.
• The application program has started but the LAN cable is not connected.
After checking the LAN connection, turn on the OCT instrument. Make sure that the application pro-
gram in the OCT instrument has started and then press the [Capture Data] button.
12. In the case of "Radial" and "Cross", the B-Scan image is sometimes displayed reversely on the analy-
sis report (New report) and "RawData" report (Old report).
The reason is that the B-Scan image direction is modified on the analysis report (New report) to make
diagnosis easier. There is no problem.
