CLINICAL USE
The TruScan 532 Single-Wavelength is an Ophthalmic Laser intended to coagulate or burn
structures within the patient’s eye as a surgical treatment for the condition that the
patient suffers from. During the surgical treatment, the Laser energy is delivered directly
on to the patients eye tissue and thereby modifies the eye structure as required by the
doctor.
The TruScan 532 Single-Wavelength Laser System is used for performing the following
clinical procedures:
Retinal Photocoagulation
Pan Retinal Photocoagulation
Endo-photocoagulation
Macular Treatments
Laser Trabeculoplasty
Retinal, Pan Retinal photocoagulation and Endo-photocoagulation are treatments that
involve the destruction of neovascular complexes for destroying areas of microinfarction
or capillary closure.
The Retinal photocoagulation treatment, it can use the Slit lamp Delivery unit. As for the
Pan retinal photocoagulation treatment it can use either the LIO or the Slit lamp Delivery
units. Endo-photocoagulation is performed using the Endoprobes and should be
practiced in a sterile environment.
Macular treatments involve the destruction of leaking vessels in the macular and
paramacular regions in order to produce a chorioretinal adhesion that can resist ongoing
vitreoretinal traction. This treatment is performed using the Slit lamp Delivery unit.
Laser Trabeculoplasy is the photocoagulation of the trabecular meshwork to create
apertures and thereby increase the flow of the aqueous humor in order to treat open-
angle glaucoma. This treatment is performed using the Slit lamp Delivery unit
The following warnings are typical of all Ophthalmic Green Laser products when used to
perform the surgical procedures as listed above. The warnings are presented according
to the type of Laser Delivery unit used as the warnings in some case are related to the
means of delivery.
