Reduced Patient Risk Factor

NGENUITY® Reduces Patient Risk Factor From High Light Exposure13,14*

 

NGENUITY®’s digital image processing allows you to operate under low lighting conditions.13† Using only the amount of light needed results in reduced patient risk factor.

 

* Retinal phototoxicity 
† Using too low light can impact the image quality
