The FDA has granted 510(k) clearance for astigmatism management software for use with the Catalys precision laser system, according to a press release.
The Catalys cOS 6.0 software is intended to facilitate cataract surgery by minimizing data entry and transcription errors, reducing time spent on calculations and reducing the need for intraoperative aberrometry for toric IOL alignment.
In collaboration with Cassini Technologies, Johnson & Johnson Vision has added iris registration for automatic cyclorotation compensation.
“Building on the launch and rollout of our Tecnis toric II platform, the introduction of our new Catalys cOS 6.0 software will be a powerful addition to our portfolio of astigmatism management solutions,” Rajesh K. Rajpal, MD, chief medical officer and global head of medical affairs, Johnson & Johnson Vision, said in the release.
The company expects the software to be commercially available in the fourth quarter.
