FDA approves Stellaris technology update

Stellaris PC Vision Enhancement System has received U.S. FDA clearance for its integrated 532 nm laser and software.

Bausch & Lomb says its Stellaris PC now “provides one of the most complete ophthalmic surgical systems for posterior segment, anterior segment and combined procedures.”

With this advance, the company says the Stellaris PC now offers the following advantages to surgeon’s facilities:

• A fully integrated 532nm green laser, which is upgradable for existing Stellaris PC Vision Enhancement Systems, and connects within the sterile field.
• A first of its kind wireless, dual linear foot pedal that features integrated laser control and improved design offering greater versatility and flexibility for procedural needs. The pedal and ergonomic foot rest improves comfort for longer procedures by reducing pitch. An optional LIO foot pedal, cable and headset are also available.
• A full portfolio of multi-function laser fibers that meet a wide range of procedural needs, including straight, curved, illuminated and aspirating probes with a soft tip for added security when working close to the retina.
• A redesigned interface and laser control software that offers improved clarity, enhanced contrast, and ease of use for both surgeons and staff.
