PEAK's technology was successfully evaluated by Stanford University researchers in ophthalmology trials, including in retinal and cataract surgery. Results of the clinical use of PEAK's technology have been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including Retina, Archives of Ophthalmology, Journal of Cataract & Refractive Surgery and the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
The PULSAR Surgery System is not yet available in the United States. The Company is in the process of filing pre-market notification with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is planning to conduct additional preclinical studies of the technology.
