Clinical & Safety
Clinical Applications
Indications for clinical use
The TruFocus LIO+ is indicated for retinal photocoagulation and is
typically used for treating outside of the arcades.
Contraindication
The TruFocus LIO+ is not indicated for cases involving laser
photocoagulation within the arcades.
Do not treat albino patients.
Recommended procedure for clinical use
This section contains general guidelines and is not intended to suggest
treatment techniques. Qualified physicians should review the available
literature presented in clinical papers before using the TruFocus LIO+
delivery device. A Reference Catalog of clinical papers and presentations
is available through IRIDEX Marketing.
Panretinal photocoagulation (outpatient)
•
Slit lamp delivery is typically used to treat the posterior 80% of the
retina with the use of mirrored contact lenses. The most peripheral
20% of the retina can more easily be seen and treated with scleral
depression and the TruFocus LIO+.
•
The prismatic effect of the hand held aspheric lens allows for easier
treatment around cataracts (cortical spokes), and hemorrhage and
vitreous debris. The hand held lens is rocked from side-to-side in
addition to utilizing scleral depression to push ‘untreated’ retina into
the view of the TruFocus LIO+.
