  • Public statement regarding recent lawsuit settlement

    Topcon Healthcare is pleased to announce we have reached a positive resolution to a lawsuit with Carl Zeiss Meditec that has been a distraction for over four years. Topcon made a strategic decision to settle ongoing litigation with Zeiss to remove the distraction and allow us to focus on our mission to serve our customers and help improve access and quality of care while reducing the overall cost of care. We are known for quality products and quality people.  We intend to continue delivering value and intelligent solutions to our customers and the healthcare market.  Topcon admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement.  During the (4 years of) litigation almost all of Zeiss’s claims were dismissed or withdrawn.  The final settlement relates to a legacy version of Harmony (which has not been actively licensed by Topcon for several years).  Customers using our current product, Harmony RS, are not affected by the settlement, and none of the devices or software that we are promoting or plan to implement in the future are affected by the conditions in the settlement in any way.

    TOKYO, JAPAN, OCTOBER 2022 – Topcon Healthcare, a leading provider of medical devices and software solutions for the global eye care community, is pleased to announce that it has launched the NW500, its new fully-automatic, non-mydriatic retinal camera that delivers reliable, sharp-quality imaging with enhanced capability.The NW500 offers innovative slit scan illumination and a rolling shutter mechanism, which helps to overcome one of the known causes of poorly graded images in its ability to effectively image smaller pupils, from 2.00mm or more*. A 12-megapixel sensor delivers excellent quality colour fundus images for clear review and analysis.The NW500 contributes to a streamlined workflow and enhanced patient experience by offering the ability to acquire retinal images in a lighted setting without the need to dilate patients. The NW500 offers excellent quality colour fundus images across the traditional 3 fixation points (Disc, Centre, and Macula), as well as the 9 fixation positions for peripheral photography.Touch-screen operation offers rapid, simple capture with just one touch. Fully-automated operation gives clinicians the flexibility to delegate screening to non-clinical staff. The improved processing speed** means it takes less time to capture images and gives operators the ability to increase patient throughput. A variety of connectivity options are available to suit the needs of clinical and screening businesses.“The NW500 reflects Topcon’s commitment to continuous innovation in pursuit of technology that helps to improve the quality-of-care patients receive and make care more efficient and accessible,” says Senior Director of Product Management, Tobias Kurzke. “Combined, the innovative slit scan technology and 12-megapixel camera offer clinicians fast, sharp quality imaging with less failure and retakes, making the process of acquiring fundus images faster and more reliable than before.
