Before the excimer laser can be used in refractive surgery, the entire system must be individually adjusted to the patient. Laser modules provide support in very different tasks:
cross-hair lasers aid, for example, in the positioning of patients along the x and y axes. Also, the working height is determined via a laser module. Prior to actual surgery, the patient fixates the blinking light of the dot laser. Similar to laser material processing, a pilot laser displays the working point of the invisible laser radiation of the excimer laser.

All auxiliary lasers radiate directly into the human eye; therefore, in order to prevent damage to the eye, the laser modules used must guarantee the following:

• Multiple safety measures: The output power is a preset value that must be guaranteed and may never be exceeded. The sum of the output of all of the auxiliary laser modules may not exceed the restrictions of laser class 1.
• Power setting: The setting of very low output power in the µW range must be possible.
• Traceability: All components must be traceable without any gaps.
• Outgoing goods inspection: A complete outgoing goods inspection of all components must be ensured.

At LASER COMPONENTS, we fulfill all requirements and produce FLEXPOINT^® laser modules at our headquarters in Germany. These modules can be customized. We are equipped to meet the requirements of medical technology with our quality management system certified according to ISO 13485.
