The Telesis ProMed is a laser marking enclosure built specifically for medical device manufacturers who need permanent, readable and traceable marks on every part they ship. At CPS in Courtice, Ontario, we sell, install and service Telesis marking systems across Canada, and the ProMed is one of the most focused machines in the lineup. Here’s what makes it different.
Why Medical Device Marking Is Different
Marking a bracket for an automotive line and marking a surgical instrument are not the same job. In medical manufacturing, the mark is part of the product’s identity, and it often has to stay legible for the life of the device.
For example, many devices carry Unique Device Identification (UDI) information, which links a physical part to its records. UDI frameworks from regulators such as the U.S. FDA, along with traceability expectations in Canada, mean manufacturers need marks that can be read and tracked reliably. As a result, quality teams care about more than just speed.
Medical device marks typically need to be:
- Permanent: readable after repeated cleaning, handling and sterilization
- Corrosion-resistant: no rough or damaged surface where contaminants can collect
- Repeatable: consistent from the first part of a batch to the last
- Traceable: serial numbers, lot codes and 2D codes that connect each part to its records
This is where laser annealing comes in. Rather than cutting into the surface, annealing uses controlled heat to change the colour of the metal just below the surface. The result is a dark, smooth mark on stainless steel and other medical-grade metals that resists corrosion.
What Is the Telesis ProMed?
The ProMed is a laser marking enclosure that Telesis designed from the ground up for medical part marking. It combines a rigid, precise platform with a laser suited to annealing, so you can mark serial numbers and UDI codes with confidence.
It also works as part of a complete system. For instance, the ProMed pairs with the Telesis Summit.Pro fiber laser, a heavy-duty marker built for demanding production environments.
A Precision Build That Keeps Marks Exact
Small medical parts leave very little room for error. For that reason, the ProMed is built around a stable, vibration-resistant foundation:
- Mattison precision ground top plate for a flat, accurate reference surface
- Aerotech X/Y stage for accurate part positioning under the laser
- Heavy-duty welded steel base that helps reduce vibration
- Programmable Z-axis mounting post so the laser can be set to the correct focal height for each part
Together, these components help you produce repeatable marks from part to part and from shift to shift.
Laser Annealing for Medical-Grade Metals
The ProMed is equipped with a laser well suited to annealing, which makes it a strong fit for stainless steel instruments and implants. Because annealed marks sit beneath a smooth surface, they hold up to cleaning and reprocessing. That said, the system isn’t limited to annealing; it can handle other marking applications as well.
Class 1 or CDRH Class 4: Choosing Your Configuration
The Telesis ProMed is available in two safety configurations. A Class 1 enclosure fully contains the laser beam, so operators can typically work around it without special laser eyewear. This is often the simpler choice for open production areas.
On the other hand, a CDRH Class 4 configuration can make sense when the system is installed in a controlled area with its own laser safety measures. If you’re unsure which one fits your facility, our team can walk you through the trade-offs before you order.

Common Applications
The ProMed is designed for parts where identification and traceability really matter, including:
- Surgical instruments: part numbers, serial numbers and manufacturer details
- Implants: permanent identification marks on medical-grade metals
- Diagnostic equipment: metal and plastic components that need clear identification
- Lab equipment: durable marks on glass, metal and plastic labware
- Medication bottles: codes and identifiers on packaging
