Multicolor Scan Laser Photocoagulator
MC-500 Vixi
Brand : Nidek – Japan
The versatility of the MC-500 Vixi / MC-500 speaks for itself. The multiple functions of the MC-500 Vixi / MC-500 meet every requirement for laser photocoagulation.
Selectable Laser Color Configuration
The MC-500 Vixi / MC-500, with its user friendly design, allows the selection of one, two, or three wavelengths, among green, yellow, and red. It enables the freedom to select the necessary color or combination of colors to increase efficiency of treatment.
Multicolor Laser for Multiple Applications
The MC-500 Vixi / MC-500 enables efficient photocoagulation even through opaque media. In
cases of cataract, better penetration is achieved with the yellow (577 nm) laser compared to the green (532nm) laser.
In eyes with retinal hemorrhage, better penetration is achieved with the red (647 nm) laser.
Multiple Scan Patterns
The MC-500 Vixi has 22 preprogrammed scan patterns to allow treatment of varying retinal pathologies.
Auto Forward*
Once photocoagulation is completed in one region, the MC-500 Vixi allows automated positioning of the scan pattern to the next region to undergo photocoagulation. This feature allows the surgeon to concentrate on focus adjustment.
The repeat mode with the auto forward function enables consecutive regions to undergo photocoagulation on a selected path without repeatedly pressing the foot switch.
Spot Spacing & Pattern Rotation
The space between spots in the pattern can be changed and the pattern can be rotated (15°increments) easily with the LCD touch screen.
Stable Laser Power Output
Momentary increase followed by a plateau and an immediate decrease enables rapid and high-power laser emission on the scan patterns.
Practical and User-friendly Features
Intuitive graphic user interface and easy-to-read color LCD touch screen allows easy and quick setup and confirmation of the scan pattern and treatment parameters.
Wide Range of Delivery Unit Options
In addition to conventional single delivery units the scan delivery units are added to the wide range of multicolor laser delivery systems. Both the scan and single delivery units include attachable models* for NIDEK SL-1800, ZEISS SL130 and 30SL/M, and HAAG 900BQ, which provide the existing slit lamps with a new stage for scan and single laser treatment.
Multifunctional 3-D Mouse (optional)
The multifunctional 3-D mouse allows intuitive operation to change the parameters. Up to 10 parameters among 19 can be set with the multifunctional 3-D mouse.
LCD Brightness Adjustment
When the status is switched from standby to ready the LCD brightness decreases so that there is no interference with the surgeon’s visibility of ocular pathology during treatment.
Memory of Photocoagulation Data
In accordance with various clinical cases up to 10 sets of photocoagulation data (color, power output, emission time, interval time, scan pattern, and spacing) can be registered.
Each set is retrievable quickly with one-touch operation.
Remote Control (optional)
The handheld remote control is useful to control output power and other parameters remotely.
The phosphorescent panel provides visibility in the dark room during vitreoretinal surgery.
Control Box (optional)
The power knob on the control box adopts a user-friendly dialing feature.
Turning the knob enables change of the output power by 10 mW (up to 500 mW ) or by 50 mW (higher than 500 mW). Turning and simultaneously depressing the knob enables to change by 100 mW.
