HFA Connects
HFA Connectivity
How do I connect my HFA?
Every Humphrey® Field Analyzer II-i series (HFA™ II-i ) ships with two standard options
for connecting to your office network: HFA-NET Pro™ and DICOM Gateway. HFA-NET Pro
is a legacy interface that provides basic networking functionality.
DICOM Gateway uses DICOM, the medical standard data protocol that provides
superior two-way data communication with your HFAs. DICOM compatible image
and data management systems such as the FORUM® Eye Care Data Management
System from ZEISS can transmit patient exam requests (“Modality Worklist”) and
receive raw data and EPDF patient reports from the HFA II-i.
FORUM can also provide a seamless workflow between an EMR and an HFA II-i by
automating the exchange of patient demographics and PDF files.
An HFA connected to DICOM Gateway is FORUM ready.
The ZEISS FORUM Eye Care Data Management System uses
the DICOM standard, and makes HFA information – and
other testing information – instantly available in the exam
lane. By integrating your HFA II-i system with FORUM, you
can immediately connect to the patient information you
need, when you need it.
HFA II-i and FORUM: Your direct connection to comprehensive
diagnostic care.
FORUM Eye Care Data Management System delivers centralized data storage,
management and retrieval, to make your glaucoma patient data instantly available –
right at your fingertips.
• View electronic reports side-by-side with other HFA, OCT, GDx™, and fundus photos.
• Correlate structure and function at a glance with the HFA-Cirrus Combined Report.
• Have a truly seamless workflow by connecting FORUM to the EMR.
Both HFA-NET Pro and DICOM Gateway
are included in the purchase price of every
HFA. FORUM, which is scalable to the
needs of practices of every size and scope,
is available separately.
