Q: What does the Selecta Duet laser offer the ophthalmic surgeon?

A: The Selecta Duet offers breakthrough SLT technology and a Nd:YAG Photodisruptor in an integrated slit lamp microscope platform. The Selecta Duet laser is ergonomically designed to be Patient and Physician friendly; it offers true wheel chair accessibility.

Q: What clinical indication is the Selecta Duet cleared for by the FDA?

A: The Selecta Duet can perform Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT), which was cleared by the FDA in 2001 for the treatment and management of open angle glaucoma. It is also cleared for performing Laser Capsulotomies (PCO) and Laser Idirdotomies/Iridoplasties (Closed angle glaucoma)

Q: What are the wavelengths of the aiming and treatment beams of the Selecta Duet

A: The Selecta Duet has a red 635nm (<5mW) HeNe aiming beam; and a Q-switched 1064nm Nd:YAG diode-pumped solid state laser; and also Q-switched frequency doubled 1064nm (532nm/Green) diode-pumped solid state laser as its treatment beams.

Q: Can the Selecta Duet be moved if necessary?

A: Yes, The Selecta Duet has locking caster wheels which enable transportation to where laser is needed. The Selecta Duet weighs <130 lbs (<60 kg), this includes the laser, power supply, slit lamp and table.

Q: What is the energy output of the Selecta Duet laser system?

A: The Selecta Duet energy settings are from 0.3 mJ to 2.0 mJ in SLT mode. The energy range is 0.3 mJ to 10 mJ in Photodisruptor mode.

Q: What items are standard when purchasing a Selecta Duet laser system?

A:	Quantity	Description
	1	Integrated SLT/YAG Laser
	1	Slit Lamp microscope
	1	Fully adjustable Wheelchair accessible table
	1	Power Cord
	1	Latina SLT Laser Lens
	1	Remote Control
	1	Laser key
	1	Pair of safety glasses
	1	Warning Sign

Q: What accessories are optional when purchasing a Selecta Duet laser system?

A: The Novus® Spectra and the Selecta S-Link can be purchased as accessories to the Selecta Duet laser system (Part # GA-0020310).

The Selecta S-Link: allow the connection of the Novus Spectra photocoagulator to the Selecta Duet, thereby forming the Selecta Trio. The Selecta Trio adds a Photocoagulation laser modality, thereby allowing treatment of the Retina.

Q: What are the electrical requirements for the Selecta Duet laser system?

A: The Selecta Duet laser has a universal power supply: 120/230VAC, 50/60Hz, switchable input. It can therefore be plugged into a standard single phase electrical outlet.

Q: Does the Selecta Duet require special cooling?

A: No, the Selecta Duet laser is air cooled.

Q: Do I have to move the illumination tower on the slit lamp prior to using the Selecta Duet laser in YAG mode?

A: Yes, in order to avoid clipping the laser or generating a warning signal from the laser. Please move the illumination tower plus or minus 15°.
