Optovue Interface

Encompass interacts with the Optovue software as follows:

Before the capture process when patient information is transferred from Encompass to the Optovue software to create or update retinal images
During the review process when new or existing Optovue retinal images are available for on-screen review

The Optovue interface saves equipment data to the Encompass DATA folder on the Encompass server. You can view the images on all computers that have Encompass installed and the Optovue review interface enabled.

Network Connection Method

The Optovue interface operates on a Windows-embedded computer. The Optovue interface can use only one camera per Terminal Server.

You must install Encompass on the computer to which the Optovue equipment is connected.
Back up your Optovue data. For recommended backup procedures, contact Optovue.
If you began using Optovue before Encompass, your previously captured Optovue retinal images are not linked to patient exams in Encompass. Only retinal images captured with the Encompass equipment interface are linked to patient exams in Encompass.
