Evolving Beyond the Expected: Advancing Diagnostics & Documentation for Eye Care Professionals with New Virtual Extraocular Motility (EOM) Exam

Published

on

BROOKLYN, N.Y., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Virtual Field is proud to announce the launch of its new Extraocular Motility (EOM) exam, an advanced diagnostic experience designed to assist providers and technicians in evaluating eye movement and muscle function with enhanced precision. Exclusively available to Virtual Field Pro subscribers, this exam helps optometrists and ophthalmologists assess conditions like muscle deficiencies and cross-eye disorders.

The EOM exam, which captures video recordings and still images of a patient’s eye movements, provides healthcare providers with valuable insights into muscle function, helping to monitor changes over time. Beyond the traditional use case for EOM exams, doctors can now delegate an EOM exam as part of their regular patient testing lineup through Virtual Field. So, immediately before or after a visual field exam, Virtual Field will run an EOM exam in less than 1 minute—capturing valuable eye images and patient documentation on autopilot.

This innovative feature is designed for easy use, allowing technicians to conduct the exam while doctors review the results later, improving efficiency and streamlining the diagnostic process. By incorporating the EOM exam, Virtual Field continues to provide an exceptional experience for both practitioners and patients, offering more accurate data for informed decision-making and improved patient care.

“The Virtual Field extraocular muscle test is perhaps the easiest and most accessible market-available solution for not just evaluating EOMs today, but for comparative testing over time,” said Dr. Adam Rosa, an industry-leading optometrist and early adopter of the technology. “This is a screening process that I can confidently delegate to my Virtual Field in pretest, and then go over the results with patients in the exam room. The ability to compare testing over multiple visits with photo and video results is a much more objective method than traditional EOM testing. Patients who present with normal findings are impressed by the use of technology in our office and come to trust us and our recommendations to a higher degree. Patients with limitations in EOMs benefit from our greater ability to track those limitations over time and, when necessary, refer appropriately to neuro or vision therapy with photo documentation of abnormal findings.”

Rachel Krug, CEO of Virtual Field, shared her excitement about the new exam: “We are constantly working to provide cutting-edge technology that enhances patient care while making practices more efficient. The launch of the EOM exam is a testament to our ongoing commitment to innovation. By equipping eye care professionals with precise, actionable data and an efficient workflow, we are helping them make more informed decisions and provide an exceptional experience for both doctors and patients.”

Charmaine Brown, Head of Product at Virtual Field, added, “The EOM is an important addition to our suite of diagnostic exams. It supports a more efficient patient workflow by allowing professionals to track and compare results over time. This feature enhances the diagnostic process, providing clear insights that assist in clinical decision-making. It is aligned with our vision to redefine the future of eye care, ensuring an exceptional experience for everyone.”

The EOM exam is now part of Virtual Field Pro’s comprehensive diagnostic suite, which includes other advanced features like the Kinetic Visual Field (Goldmann Perimetry) and Pupillometry exams, all accessible through a Virtual Field Pro subscription. The platform’s easy-to-use interface, coupled with seamless integration with EMR/EHR systems and the ability to provide high-quality reports and video documentation, makes it a valuable asset for eye care practices.

With this launch, Virtual Field continues to lead innovation in eye care, offering advanced diagnostic solutions that improve both patient outcomes and practice efficiency. As the eye care industry increasingly moves toward technology-driven solutions, Virtual Field is proud to provide an exceptional experience that helps practices stay ahead of the curve.

Orange County Fire Authority in California Selects MSA Safety’s G1 Breathing Apparatus to Help Protect Firefighters

Published

on

By

PITTSBURGH, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Global safety equipment manufacturer MSA Safety, Inc. (NYSE: MSA) today announced it has secured a $10 million contract to provide respiratory protective equipment to the Orange County Fire Authority in Southern California. With this order, MSA continues to strengthen its breathing apparatus market presence in the Southern California region. Over the past two years, MSA Safety has secured similar breathing apparatus contracts with both the Los Angeles County and the Los Angeles City Fire Departments. 

The decision to upgrade Orange County Fire Authority’s self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) technology was made after a comprehensive evaluation process. Factors that influenced the department’s selection of the G1 SCBA were its advanced technology and connectivity features, as well as the ability to upgrade the breathing apparatus with new technologies as they become available.

With 15 U.S. patents, the G1 SCBA is the centerpiece of the MSA Connected Firefighter platform – a suite of safety technologies that work in concert to significantly improve firefighter monitoring, accountability and communication. The SCBA utilizes embedded technology to transmit important data, including cylinder air pressure, battery status and various alarm indicators, to incident commanders via MSA’s FireGrid® system. The FireGrid system is a software service that gives incident commanders the ability to evaluate and manage on-scene fire crews in real time.

“When it comes to protecting first responders, our vision at MSA Safety is to provide fire departments with the most advanced and versatile safety solutions available today,” said Bob Apel, MSA Safety Executive Director, Global Fire Service and Digital Experience. “Our G1 breathing apparatus is a fitting example of that vision. The platform provides ongoing value to fire departments because it enables us to continuously add new technologies to the SCBA that enhance firefighter health and safety. That vision is consistent with our growth strategy to be the leading innovator in head-to-toe protection for the fire service.”

Also included among the G1 SCBA’s advanced features is an integrated thermal imaging camera (iTIC). The iTIC places thermal imaging capability into the hands of individual firefighters, as opposed to sharing a handheld device among multiple firefighters. The camera is part of the SCBA control module that houses a video screen and other electronics that enable many G1 features.

Founded in 1995, the Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) is a regional fire service agency that serves 23 cities and all unincorporated areas within Orange County. With 78 fire stations, the OCFA protects nearly two million residents. It is a premier public safety agency providing superior fire protection and medical emergency services to its communities.

“We are incredibly proud to establish this new partnership with the Orange County Fire Authority,” said Joann Serakowski, MSA Safety Vice President, Fire Service – U.S. and Canada. “Most importantly, we’re honored the department has entrusted MSA with the responsibility of protecting the men and women who help keep the residents of Orange County safe each day.”

Delivery of the new SCBA units is expected to be completed in 2025.

BEIJING, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — NaaS Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: NAAS) (“NaaS” or the “Company”), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, today announces that the previously announced change of the ratio (the “ADS Ratio”) of its American depositary shares (the “ADSs”) to its Class A ordinary shares has taken effect at the open of business on April 28, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time) (“Effective Date”).

The change in the ADS Ratio, from one ADS to 200 Class A ordinary shares to one ADS to 800 Class A ordinary shares, had the same effect as a one-for-four reverse ADS split. The exchange of one new ADS for every 4 previously-held ADSs occurred automatically upon effectiveness, with the previously-held ADSs cancelled and the new ADSs issued by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., the depositary bank for the Company’s ADS program.

As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be proportionally equal to or greater than 4 times the ADS trading price before the change.
