Axsun announces volume purchase order for swept laser engines

BILLERICA, USA: Axsun Technologies Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volcano Corp. and a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced photonic components and subsystems, has received a volume purchase order for Swept Laser OCT Engines from Michelson Diagnostics Ltd.

The Axsun Swept Laser OCT Engine will power the new Michelson Diagnostics' Vivosight Multi-Beam OCT system. The Vivosight Multi-Beam OCT system is the first OCT scanner to receive FDA 510(k) clearance for imaging skin in high definition, revealing subsurface tissue structure at unprecedented detail.

"Axsun's Swept Laser OCT Engines are ideally suited for real-time OCT imaging in many imaging applications," said Jonathan Hartmann, GM at Axsun. "We are very excited to partner with a market leader like Michelson Diagnostics to address this critical and quickly growing patient need."

"We evaluated many available swept laser products when selecting a supplier for our new Vivosight system," said Jon Holmes, CEO of Michelson Diagnostics. "We found Axsun to be the ideal company with whom to partner, offering the best platform of performance, value and volume manufacturing capability."
