The patent
pending device will be certified under the UL medical protocol, and will be CE
certified. This will be the first FDA approved light source for medical
applications in FTI's portfolio.
Using a very
simple but effective coupling strategy, engineers at FTI can couple the light
from a monocolor array to a fiber optic cable at high efficiency rates. The
resulting output exceeds the power of a similarly coupled EKE halogen lamp.
The company
plans to provide a product with true color balance, excellent uniformity,
improved electrical efficiency, along with a measureable return on investment
(ROI) in a small package. The unit is compatible in size to existing lighting
technology, and can replace it without altering existing systems or components.
"After
three years of research and development, our team has made the breakthrough we
have been waiting for, and now we're very excited to demonstrate our capability",
said Steve Giamundo, the company's VP of Sales and Marketing.
FTI's LED
light engine technology provides the following features:
More power
than an EKE lamp within a 5mm focal spot.
Long life
(50000) hours - no lamp to change.
Stable
output throughout the usable life.
Active
heat management with integral cooling fan.
Available
in a white-only or Red, Green and Blue only versions.
6000K
color temperature for the white only version.
