Numerical aperture: 0.22-0.48. Wavelength range: 500nm-2200nm. Connectors: SMA 905, SMA 906, or manufacturer-specific. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 compliant.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in laser-based surgical applications and procedures performed with compatible cleared surgical lasers (500nm-2200nm) in any surgical specialty where such lasers are indicated.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

(1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon.
