108 Indications for Use
Sit lamps and Laserlinks for slit lamps
Users should be aware of the general laser warnings, precautions, and adverse
effects outlined in “General Information” in this chapter, as well as the
warnings, precautions, and contraindications specific to ophthalmic procedures.
Description
Several integrated slit lamp models are available from Lumenis, as are
LaserLinks for adapting your existing diagnostic slit lamp to your Spectra
laser. LaserLinks are available for Zeiss and Haag-Streit, as well as most third-
party equivalent slit lamps.
The integrated slit lamp with laser delivery system is designed to project a
focused laser beam into the focal plane of the microscope. The delivery system
provides a continuous zoom spot size over a range from 50 to 1000 um. It also
incorporates an internal protective physician's filter.
Indications
Slit lamp delivery systems and LaserLinks are indicated for the delivery of laser
energy to the eye. They can be used in conjunction with contact lenses
designed for the delivery of laser energy. Lumenis slit lamp attachments and
integrated slit lamps are indicated for the delivery of laser energy in posterior
chamber procedures involving the retina.
Conditions of the retina for which the slit lamp is useful include:
•
Diabetic neovascular retinopathy
•
Retinal detachments
•
Senile macular degeneration
The slit lamp can also be useful for indications involving the anterior segment
of the eye. The two most common procedures used to control glaucoma are:
•
Peripheral iridectomy for angle-closure glaucoma
•
Trabeculoplasty for open-angle glaucoma
Contraindications
There are no contraindications specific to the use of the slit lamp.
Guidelines for use
Refer to the appropriate delivery system Operator Manual for specific
instructions regarding the use of a slit lamp.
