The SupraScan 577 laser is designed to treat retinal diseases. The company says the system combines 577nm yellow wavelength, pattern-scanning and MicroPulse tissue-sparing laser emission modes.
"We are proud to have passed this regulatory milestone," said Jean-Marc Gendre, CEO of Quantel Medical, in the release. "Quantel was the first company in the world to bring to market a solid-state green retina laser in 1993, followed by a solid-state yellow retina laser in 2008. Today's announcement of 510(k) clearance for the SupraScan 577, the most advanced solidstate yellow scanning retina laser allows Quantel USA to offer a market-changing solution to retina specialists in the United States."
Quantel Medical is headquartered in France.
