APS-70X Automatic Fundus Camera

Manufactured by Kanghua Ruiming, the APS-70X represents China’s advancement in automated ophthalmic imaging. This fully automatic non-mydriatic fundus camera eliminates traditional joystick operation, enabling one-click retinal image capture through intelligent automation for diabetic retinopathy screening programs and routine fundus examinations.

Product Overview

The APS-70X addresses a critical workflow challenge in fundus photography: the requirement for trained technicians to manually align and focus traditional fundus cameras. By automating the entire capture process, the device allows non-specialist operators in endocrinology departments, primary care settings, and health screening centers to obtain diagnostic-quality retinal images.

The system targets three primary use cases:

• Hospital ophthalmology departments for routine fundus documentation
• Endocrinology departments screening diabetic patients for retinopathy
• Optometry centers and health examination facilities

Key Features

At the touch of a button, the APS-70X from Kanghua Ruiming automates panoramic focus, eye tracking, exposure, capture, and mosaic stitching for non-mydriatic fundus imaging—cleared by NMPA, CE, and FDA.

• Intelligent Full-Process Automation: The system handles panoramic auto-focus, patient eye tracking, fundus switching between eyes, exposure optimization, image capture, and mosaic stitching without operator intervention.

• Non-Mydriatic Imaging: Captures retinal images without pupil dilation drops, improving patient comfort and eliminating post-examination visual impairment.

• Touch-Screen Interface: Replaces traditional joystick controls with touch-screen operation, reducing the learning curve for new operators.

• Automatic Pupil Measurement: Integrated pupil assessment function for documentation.

• Manual Override: One-key switching to manual mode allows experienced operators to handle challenging cases.

• Rotating Display: The touch screen rotates to help operator-patient positioning adjustments.

Technical Specifications

At the point of one-click capture, the APS-70X delivers non-mydriatic fundus imaging with automatic pupil measurement and rotatable touch screen, cleared by NMPA, CE, and FDA for diabetic retinopathy screening.

Note: Detailed technical parameters such as field of view angle, minimum pupil diameter, and image resolution were not available in public sources.

Clinical Applications

Diabetic Retinopathy Screening

The primary application targets systematic screening of diabetic patients for retinopathy. The automated operation model allows endocrinology department staff to capture fundus images without requiring ophthalmology-trained technicians, supporting high-volume screening programs.

Routine Ophthalmology Examination

General fundus documentation for monitoring age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and other retinal conditions.

Health Screening Programs

The simplified operation enables deployment in general health examination centers for opportunistic fundus screening in populations at risk for eye disease.

Regulatory Status

The manufacturer advertises the device under registration number 渝械广审（文）第260830-01267号 for Chinese market promotion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the APS-70X be operated without specialized training?

The manufacturer states that touch-screen control and full automation allow non-professional operators to capture fundus images. However, image interpretation still requires qualified medical professionals.

Does the APS-70X require pupil dilation?

No. The device is designed as a non-mydriatic fundus camera, capturing images through undilated pupils. This improves patient throughput and eliminates dilation-related visual impairment.

What is the difference between the APS-70X and traditional fundus cameras?

Traditional fundus cameras require manual alignment using a joystick, manual focus adjustment, and operator decisions on exposure settings. The APS-70X automates all these steps, requiring only patient positioning before initiating automated capture.
