Used Optical Coherence Tomography (Oct) in Hamburg, Germany

Overview

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non‑invasive imaging modality that captures high‑resolution, cross‑sectional images of tissue microstructure using low‑coherence light interference. Common in ophthalmology for retinal and anterior segment imaging, OCT is also used in cardiology, dermatology and research. Systems vary by technology (spectral‑domain, swept‑source), scan speed, resolution and software features, so buyers should match specifications to clinical needs and workflow integration.

FAQ

What should I consider when buying a used OCT system?

Check the device model, age, software version, scan modes (A‑scan, B‑scan, angiography), axial/lateral resolution, and presence of calibration records. Confirm image samples and compatibility with your EMR and patient flow.

How do I verify image quality before purchase?

Request raw images and sample scans, run a test scan if possible, review signal‑to‑noise and artifact levels, and compare resolution and layer delineation against a reference or manufacturer specs.

How should an OCT machine be shipped safely?

Ship in original or custom shock‑mounted crates, control humidity and temperature, use professional medical equipment transport, insure the shipment, and include clear handling/installation instructions.

What installation and calibration steps are needed on arrival?

Have trained technicians install and level the unit, connect to power and network, run manufacturer calibration procedures, verify software settings, and perform test scans for clinical verification.

What routine maintenance and consumables are required?

Regular cleaning of optics, checking alignment, software updates, light‑source replacement schedules, and preventative service contracts. Keep spare cables, chinrest parts and approved disinfectants on hand.
