OCTOPUS 900
Reliably assess static & kinetic
visual fields
 THE OCTOPUS 900 VISUAL FIELD ANALYSER

PERIMETRY YOU CAN TRUST

Outstanding flexibility & reliability

In 1945, Professor Hans Goldmann of the University of Berne,

together with Haag-Streit, developed the Manual Goldmann
perimeter. This instrument is still the reference for kinetic
perimetry today and all of its capabilities and specifications
are built into the Octopus 900. Furthermore, Haag-Streit has
pioneered many significant innovations in static perimetry,
including automated testing, direct projection system, global
indices, fast strategies and outstanding software for visual field
analysis.

Addressing all major perimetry needs, the Octopus 900 is

the visual field analyser of choice for anyone who wants the
diagnostic flexibility to analyse, assess and track patients’ visual
fields.

It makes it possible to run standard central and peripheral visual

fields with minimum test duration, seamlessly integrated into
your clinical environment. This supports high patient throughput
and effective practice management. Everything you can ask of
a perimeter is offered in one easy-to-use device, which delivers
results you can trust, every time.

Covers all your clinical
needs
The Octopus 900 performs standard white-on-
white threshold testing in just 2-4 minutes. With
its flexible Octopus and HFA-style printouts and its
comprehensive test library for central and peripheral
tests, it covers all your clinical needs.

A smooth transition from

HFA OCTOPUS 900 PERIMETER

All Octopus perimeters allow you to import your

historic HFA data. If replacing an existing visual field
analyser or extending clinical capabilities, you can
enjoy a smooth transition from an HFA to an Octopus
perimeter.

As raw data is imported, you can display your new

and historic data in the format of your choice, either
in HFA style or in Octopus mode.

Cost-effective electronic
records
HFA-STYLE PRINTOUT

As the Octopus 900 is controlled by a separate PC,

Haag-Streit’s EyeSuite analysis software is free to be
installed on multiple viewing stations.
If it is connected to a server database, real-time
access to data can be achieved, whilst analysis
beyond the pre-defined printout may be undertaken
from anywhere on the network.

 2-IN-1 STATIC & KINETIC PERIMETRY

Everything you need in one

device
The Octopus 900 offers a wide range of test patterns
including; 24-2 and 10-2 for routine testing, unique
physiology-based patterns that correlate with
nerve fibre bundles and the binocular Esterman.
Its 90-degree radius Goldmann bowl permits 180-
degree full field testing, allowing additional peripheral
testing, including true kinetic perimetry, for more
complex clinical presentations.
AN ALL-IN-ONE DEVICE

Top fast-thresholding
strategy
Tendency Oriented Perimetry (TOP) presents a further
optimisation in fast-threshold testing by reducing the
examination time by nearly 80%, to just 2–4 minutes.
The TOP algorithm is a systematic method which
takes the correlation of the threshold values in
neighbouring locations into account.
Since the first test points are presented at a supra-
threshold level, even inexperienced patients quickly
SYSTEMATIC TESTING
understand the nature of the test.

Increased efficiency
The shorter test time enables a more efficient
practice, faster patient throughput and improved
clinical workflow.

SENSITIVE GLAUCOMA ANALYSIS

Cluster analysis
The sensitive cluster analysis groups visual field
defects along nerve fibre bundles and combines
high sensitivity with good specificity to detect early
glaucomatous changes. Significant defects are
highlighted and the cluster defects can be used for
structural comparison. Cluster analysis is available
in both single field and trend view.

Combining structure &

function CLUSTER ANALYSIS

Combining the results of both structure and function

is the key to obtaining a comprehensive assessment
of the onset and progression of glaucoma.
The Octopus polar analysis projects local visual field
defects along the nerve fibres to the optic disk and
displays them oriented as structural results This
makes structure-function correlation almost intuitive.

Full testing flexibility

Besides standard white-on-white perimetry with a
POLAR GRAPH
Goldmann III stimulus, the Octopus 900 also offers a
Goldmann size V stimulus for low vision patients. In
addition, it also performs blue-on-yellow and flicker
perimetry, for early glaucoma detection and provides
corresponding normative databases for each of those
stimuli.
The flexible custom test function also allows the
operator to create any test needed for an individual
patient, or clinical research study.

 AUTOMATED EYE-TRACKING

Reliable results made easy

Fixation losses, due to low patient compliance,
are a major reason for unreliable visual fields. The
Octopus 900 offers Blink Control, Pupil Position
Control and Automated Eye-Tracking (AET). These
features continuously encourage the correct patient
alignment and eye position, producing reliable results
you can trust.

Never miss a point

BLINK CONTROL
With Octopus Blink Control, you never need to worry
about missing a stimulus presented in static perime-
try. Stimuli interrupted by a patient blinking are auto-
matically repeated again later in the test. This means
every test location is assessed reliably.

Controlled position
Maintaining the correct pupil position during an
examination is essential for correct identification of
the location of a defect.
If the pupil position changes during stimulus
presentation, due to either shifting of the head or PUPIL POSITION CONTROL
eye movement, the Pupil Position Control pauses
the examination automatically, until the pupil is
re-centred. This stimulus is then repeated later in
the test.

Minimise artefacts
Positioning the pupil in the centre of the trial lens
is essential to prevent lens rim and anatomical
artefacts. Automated Eye-Tracking recognises the
position of the pupil and keeps the pupil centred by
automatically moving the head and chin rest into the
ideal position. AUTOMATED EYE-TRACKING

TRUE GOLDMANN KINETIC PERIMETRY

Fully-flexible
With the Octopus 900, kinetic vectors can be defined
anywhere and with all the characteristics available in
the manual Goldmann perimeter. Additionally, user-
defined templates help generate fast and reproducible
results when defining standard isopters and mapping
the blind spot, as well as for ptosis, driving standards
and functional vision loss.

Simplified & more

consistent operation SEMI-AUTOMATED KINETIC PERIMETRY

Benefit from the flexibility of a manual Goldmann but

enjoy a modern, simplified and more consistent ope-
ration. Vector speed is controlled and repeatable, the
influence of the operator and patient reaction time is
eliminated and normal isopters provide guidance.

The vectors of your choice

Place vectors anywhere and in any direction you
want, in either semi-automatic or manual mode.
Static points are also possible and isopters can be
defined manually or in automatic mode, if the AUTO-CONNECTED ISOPTERS

isopters are regularly shaped.

Adaptable templates
The Octopus 900 allows you to standardise your
clinical workflow without losing the flexibility to adapt
to individual situations. Your kinetic testing protocols
can be translated into a template to standardise
your methodology. Templates can then be adapted
depending on pathology or patient response, with
vectors added or deleted during the test.
