It utilizes diode aim and treatment lasers with wavelengths of 532 nm, 577 nm, and 647 nm to deliver therapeutic energy to ocular tissues. The system includes a graphical user interface, a slit lamp, a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope for delivery, and a footswitch for operator control. The physician uses the system to perform precise photocoagulation, iridotomy, or trabeculoplasty procedures. The device output is controlled laser energy, which the physician directs to the target tissue to achieve the desired therapeutic effect, such as treating retinal or macular conditions or managing glaucoma through iridotomy/trabeculoplasty. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Ophthalmic laser photocoagulator system. Wavelengths: 532 nm, 577 nm, 647 nm. Components: diode aim and treatment lasers, graphical user interface, slit lamp, binocular indirect ophthalmoscope, footswitch. ## Regulatory Identification An ophthalmic photocoagulator is an AC-powered device intended to use the energy from an extended noncoherent light source to occlude blood vessels of the retina, choroid, or iris. ## Predicate Devices - Nidek Multi Color Laser Photocoagulator Model MC-300 ([K042785](/device/K042785.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
