Selecta
PBL200051, Rev J
56 Operation
Standby, Ready, and Laser Emission mode
Use the standby/ready toggle button to select the laser standby/ready mode.
When the laser is turned on and has completed initialization, the laser defaults
to standby mode. The standby indicator illuminates on the remote control.
In standby mode , the joystick pushbutton and footswitch are disabled and
the safety shutter is closed; no treatment beam is available. In ready mode ,
the joystick pushbutton or footswitch is enabled and the treatment beam is
available.
To commence treatment, the clinician depresses the standby/ready toggle
button, placing the laser in ready mode. There is a two-second transition
between standby and ready mode, during which the ready icon on the remote
control flashes. When the system beeps and the ready icon illuminates on
the remote control, it indicates that the laser is fully powered and that laser
radiation (the treatment beam) is accessible via the user-selectable footswitch
or joystick pushbutton. When the clinician depresses the footswitch or
joystick pushbutton, the laser emission symbol illuminates on the remote
control, indicating that the system is emitting laser light to the treatment site.
The Selecta provides a choice of laser activation. By default, the laser is
activated by the laser pushbutton on the slit lamp joystick. However, many
physicians prefer footswitch activation, and Lumenis provides a Selecta
footswitch that may be used with the system. If a footswitch is connected, the
Footswitch laser activation mode must also be selected on the options screen
of the remote control, as described in the “Laser Basics—Remote Control”
section of this manual.
