No. The Niris Imaging System does not use a laser to supply the NIR (Near InfraRed) light at the System’s specified wavelength. Rather, it uses an effective alternative called a superluminescent diode (SLD) to produce continuous-wave low-coherence optical radiation. The Niris Imaging System has been demonstrated to be safe to the patient or the user from exposure to the emitted optical radiation.
