With this advance, the Stellaris PC now offers the following advantages to surgeon’s facilities:
- A fully integrated 532-nm 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 improve 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 offer improved clarity, enhanced contrast and ease of use for both surgeons and staff.

Nidek Microscope Granted
FDA Clearance
Nidek received 510(k) clearance for its CEM-530 Specular Microscope. Nidek says the instrument, with auto-tracking capability, acquires images of the corneal endothelium and provides analysis quickly and easily.
Features include paracentral specular microscopy as well as peripheral images; two-second auto analysis; automatic indication of the optimal image; 3-D auto tracking; auto shot; a tiltable touch screen; and a built-in printer.
The paracentral images are captured at eight points at a five-degree visual angle within a 0.25 mm x 0.55 mm field and enable enhanced assessment surrounding the central image.
Sixteen images are captured and automatically sorted based on quality.
Once the best image is selected, complete analysis is automatically performed in two seconds. The analysis screen allows visualization of the endothelial cells in four modes: trace; photo; area; and apex. This enables the clinician to verify analysis values with the corresponding cell images. An LED light source is used for illumination, which reduces power consumption and lasts longer.
The CEM-350 can seamlessly integrate with most EMR systems without the need for an additional computer or software. For information, visit
