Hello and welcome to Medmont's M700 tutorial videos. In this series of tutorials I will
be showing you around the Perimetry side of Medmont studio and how to use your M700. In
this video I'll be discussing the basics of starting an m700 test. First, we'll look at
how to set up your M700 and then I'll move into the essentials of the testing window.
So, to start with you're going to want to open your copy of medmont studio and ensure
that your perimeter is plugged in and turned on. All you need to do is connect the power
cable, the USB cable and the patient switch and your perimeter is ready to go. If you
haven't installed medmont studio yet please read the quick install guide which was included
with your M700 for help. If you have medmont studio installed from a previous install,
you can go to the top right corner and press help, and then about medmont studio. Here
you'll be able to see the components you have installed. For example, on this computer I
have our DV2000 imaging software, an E300 topographer and an M700 perimeter installed.
You can also access all of the user manuals for your installed Medmont instruments from
this help menu. If you don't have an M700 installed you're going to want to open the
medmont studio configuration tool, which can be found in your programs list and re-configure
Medmont Studio with the M700 component selected. If you haven't installed the calibration file
yet, this is the first thing you need to do. Go into the configure tab up here, press instrument
setup under M700, and press the import button. From here, you can browse to the calibration
file found on the USB key provided with your M700. Double click on the calibration file
folder, select the calibration file and press OK. From this window, you have a variety of
options. If you have more than one perimeter installed, you can select one and set it as
your default perimeter. With a default instrument selected when you start an exam the test window
will open with the selected instrument. However, if you are using a perimeter other than your
default you can return to this window and unset the default, allowing you to select
which perimeter to use at the beginning of each test. If you haven't installed a perimeter
yet and want to use the simulator, you can install it the same way. Just press import
and browse to wherever you've stored the simulator file. I'm going to close this down now and
move on. To begin a test return to the home menu and
look in the new exam panel. If there is an option for a Perimetry exam then you've successfully
installed the M700 component of Medmont Studio. If you are using the bowl simulator please
select a pre-existing exam for the simulator to work with. You can download both the simulator
and a package of sample data from the support page of the Medmont Website. You can find
the link to that page in the comments of this video. Once downloaded simply press file,
import and browse to the sample data to import it. When you're ready press the Perimetry
exam button. This gives you the option to select from any perimeters you have installed,
which should be the perimeter connected at this workstation by default. If you already
selected a default, this window will be skipped and the Perimetry exam window will open immediately.
I'm going to select the perimeter I have attached and press ok. Now that we've opened the perimeter
test window we're ready to start an exam. This window is separate from medmont studio,
so if you close it Medmont studio will still be running in the background. I don't have
a patient with me so I have a sketch of an eye. This is the main test window and all
the essential features for running an exam can be accessed from here. If you had a patient
selected when you started the test window their name will be displayed in the top window.
You can clear this name out by pressing the clear button in the patient section of the
ribbon bar. You can also select a different patient by pressing select and either typing
in a name or choosing a patient from the list. An important feature if you're quickly screening
patients and don't necessarily need the test associated with a patient is that you can
leave the patient field blank and still run a test. However, if you want to save the exam
you will have to choose a patient at the end. To get started with a test the first thing
you need to do is select the test template you want to use. Click on this drop down list
and you will see all of the built in test templates. I am going to do a quick test using
the Central 22 test template. Make sure you have the correct eye selected and have chosen
the type of fixation monitoring you want to use. For this test I will use Video fixation
monitoring. When the patient is ready all you need to do is press the start button and
the test will begin. 10 s pause.. You can pause the test at any time by pressing the
pause button and then start it again using the start button. 5s pause. The patient can
also pause the test by holding down the patient switch. Notice that in the top left there
is a test status indicator which displays that it is currently patient paused. Once
the patient releases the patient switch the test returns to running. You can also stop
the test at any time by pressing the stop button. Once the test is stopped you have
the option to start a new test, save the test or analyze it immediately. Since this wasn't
a real test there is very little data to display. Making sure you have enough data is an important
point to consider when deciding to stop a test early and it is not recommended. As I
mentioned earlier, to save a test I must select a patient.
Ok, this concludes the first video in our M700 Perimetry essentials series. Thanks for
joining me and I hope to see you in the next video.
