ZEISS Connect vs OccluSense

ZEISS Connect runs on iPad and connects to a surgical microscope wirelessly for: - Communicating and educating patients, assistants and peers - Standardizing video and image documentation workflows - Patient management - Optimizing settings for recording videos and images - Editing videos and images - Controlling illumination and camera on the microscope - Push and pull patient data from an archiving solution (DICOM/NAS/ Sidexis 4) The app is NOT aimed for: - Replacing patient information systems / picture archiving systems (PACS) - Providing true to reality live images that can be used for diagnostic purposes - Providing measurements on which decisions can be based Intended Use: ZEISS Connect connects with the ZEISS EXTARO 300 model of the surgical microscope. This mobile application is intended to be used for supporting the documentation workflow in combination with a connected microscope. The app helps to acquire, display, edit, store and distribute images and videos. In addition, illumination and camera settings of the connected microscope can be controlled from within the app. Information captured and stored by the app are for viewing and reference purpose only and are not intended for primary diagnosis.

The OccluSense®-System serves as an aid for recording and depicting of the occlusal conditions by presenting the pressure conditions of the contact points or the masticatory force distribution. The occlusal conditions are recorded by the handheld device with inserted sensor. The recorded raw data, generated during the occlusion test, are stored locally on the hand- held device. Subsequently the handheld transmits this data via wireless interface to the OccluSense®-iPad-App. The OccluSense®-iPad-App saves and displays the received data as a recording. In comparison to traditional occlusion test materials (papers, foils), the system does not only show the local premature contacts on the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, but due to the OccluSense®-iPad-App it is possible to see a graphical representation of occlusal pressure conditions on the iPad. 
It is possible to visualize the proportion of the masticatory forces of the entire dental arch and thus a support for the practitioner for further patient-oriented therapy planning is provided. Several recordings can be compared, e.g. before and after dental treatment, and can be saved on the iPad for documentation purposes. Indications for the application: OccluSense® is accredited for use in the United States, the European Community, Australia, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Thailand, Vietnam, Ukraine, Israel and Turkey. Please refer to the user manual included in the app for detailed application instructions and precautions.
