Capturing NIDEK NAVIS-EX Images

If you use the AFC-330 Non-Mydriatic Auto Fundus Camera, you do not need to complete this procedure. Instead, simply open an exam in ExamWRITER for the patient whose image you captured and then, from the camera, find the patient and capture the image. If you have questions about capturing images or using the camera, contact Marco support (800.874.5274).

  1. Ensure that ExamWRITER is open.
  2. Create a blank exam, or open a saved exam for an existing patient.

    Before opening the NIDEK NAVIS-EX Capture program, record the patient’s date of birth and gender in ExamWRITER.

  3. In the ExamWRITER chart window, click the Interfaces icon.
  4. Select NIDEK NAVIS-EX:Capture.

    NIDEK NAVIS-EX starts, captures the NIDEK camera image, and stores it in NAVIS-EX. The NAVIS-EX Image Capture window opens with information about the selected patient.

    If the patient’s information is not already stored in the NIDEK NAVIS-EX Capture program, the patient’s name, gender, and date of birth are loaded into the program from ExamWRITER.

    If the patient’s information is already stored in the program, the patient’s information in the program’s database is displayed.

    If the patient’s demographic information is already stored in the NAVIS-EX database but has since changed in ExamWRITER, the information will also be changed in the database.

  5. If information changed, click OK in the confirmation message.
  6. Click the Capture button on the toolbar to capture the patient’s retinal images.
  7. Close NIDEK NAVIS-EX Capture to return to ExamWRITER.

    In the patient exam, the NIDEK NAVIS-EX icon appears on the Images - Drawings tab under the Images, Drawings and Graphics category bar.

    If you click the NAVIS-EX icon, the NAVIS-EX Review software opens with the current patient displayed.

  8. To review the patient’s captured retinal images, see Reviewing NIDEK NAVIS-EX Images.
