From the company web page:
qlt-pdt.com
I found:
Today, companies such as Coherent
Inc., Diomed, Laserscope and Zeiss produce the
devices used to activate QLT's products.

The type of light source used varies depending
on the indication being treated. When treating
internal conditions such as cancer, a fiber
optic is used to deliver light to the treatment
site from either an argon-ion pumped dye
laser or a diode laser. In ophthalmology, diode
laser light is shone through the slit lamp of a
microscope into the patient's eye.
In the case
of autoimmune conditions, patients stand in a
whole body light box containing fluorescent
lights of an appropriate wavelength.


It doesn't say who does this perhaps investor relations could tell you more. Regards ... Dick Martin
