Metrics used to evaluate the performance of AMARIS laser systems, with their description, Typical Values and their impact on performance.
| Metric | Description | Typical Value (Units) | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal fluence HF | Calibrated spot depth of high energy pulse (1.0 mJ) | 710 nm | Lower values result in more pulses for a given treatment → Over correction |
| Nominal fluence LF | Calibrated spot depth of low energy pulse (0.7 mJ) | 570 nm | Lower values result in more pulses for a given treatment → Over correction |
| Nominal pulses HF | Calibrated number of high energy pulses required to go through the test material (PET) | 12,300 pulses | Lower values result in more pulses for a given treatment → Over correction |
| Nominal pulses LF | Calibrated number of low energy pulses required to go through the test material (PET) | 10,330 pulses | Lower values result in more pulses for a given treatment → Over correction |
| Mean Performance | Ratio between achieved and attempted refractive correction on test material (PMMA) | 100% | Lower values → Under correction |
| Standard Deviation | Standard deviation of the achieved vs. attempted refractive correction on test material (PMMA) | <4.0% | Lower values → Less variability |
| Technical Performance | Ratio between actual and theoretical performance on test material (PMMA) | 100% | Lower values → Under Performance |
