## Intended Use

The Vitra Ophthalmic Laser Photocoagulator is indicated for retinal photocoagulation in the following conditions: With an indirect ophthalmoscope -- for peripheral photocoagulation for the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachments. With an endocular probe – for intraocular retinal photocoagulation as an adjunct to vitrectomy surgery (and not the sole indication for vitrectomy) in the management of complicated rhegmatogenous and tractional retinal detachments, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy. With a slit Lamp - for the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy, choroidal neovascularization secondary to age-related macular degeneration, and retinal detachments.

## Device Story

Quantel Vitra Ophthalmic Laser Photocoagulator is a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser (532 nm) utilizing a KTP crystal. Device delivers coherent light energy to ocular tissue via delivery systems including indirect ophthalmoscopes, endocular probes, or slit lamps. Operated by ophthalmologists in clinical settings to perform retinal photocoagulation. Laser energy creates thermal effects on retinal tissue to treat conditions like diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachments. Output is controlled by the clinician to achieve therapeutic photocoagulation, aiding in the management of retinal pathologies and preventing vision loss.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Nd:YAG laser with KTP crystal; 532 nm wavelength; coherent light output. Delivery via indirect ophthalmoscope, endocular probe, or slit lamp. Class II device (21 CFR 886.4390).

## Regulatory Identification

An ophthalmic laser is an AC-powered device intended to coagulate or cut tissue of the eye, orbit, or surrounding skin by a laser beam.
