Ellex · Model SLT Solo
Built-In, Fully Integrated Design - Ellex’s fully integrated design optimizes laser treatment and provides a number of advantages, including a shorter travel distance for the laser beam, no add-ons or cables, and more stable, reliable and consistent delivery of energy. The Solo’s built-in slit lamp features converging optics to provide a more natural stereoscopic view that is ideal for anterior segment viewing. This compact, efficient design creates more working space for the physician, as well as convenient, simultaneous access to the patient and laser controls. SLT Photoregeneration - SLT is a highly effective approach for first-line glaucoma treatments, adjunct therapy with drugs, and alternative therapy when drugs or surgery fail. It is also a flexible treatment option, because it can be repeated, if necessary, depending on the individual patient’s response. SLT uses short pulses of lowenergy light to target the melanin in specific cells of the affected eye. In response, the body’s natural healing mechanisms rebuild these cells, improving drainage and lowering intraocular pressure. The surrounding, non-pigmented cells – as well as the rest of the eye structure – are untouched and undamaged. Ellex SLT Technology - The Ellex Solo features a high level of precision, in which parameter settings can be adjusted at 0.1 mJ increments. This capability, coupled with superior energy control and the fastest repetition rate in the industry at 3 hertz, enables the physician to deliver quick and highly accurate SLT treatment. All SLT treatment parameters are designed to industry-recognized treatment protocols, maximizing treatment options and ensuring effective patient results by enabling the physician to tailor treatment to the individual patient’s response.
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Symptoms: Weak or no output at the delivery device, treatment ineffective, power not reaching the set value.
Root cause: Laser module / lamp / diode-bar ageing, a damaged delivery fibre / handpiece / applicator, or a driver / power-supply fault.
Symptoms: Unit shuts down after a period, over-temperature or low-flow alarm.
Root cause: Chiller / TEC fault, low or contaminated coolant, a failed pump, or blocked airflow.
Symptoms: Burn marks at the tip, high loss, intermittent output, applicator not recognised.
Root cause: Damaged or contaminated fibre / applicator / connector.
Symptoms: Skin cooling not delivered, cooling / cryogen alarm.
Root cause: Contact-cooling / cryogen supply, a valve, or the tip.
Symptoms: Laser will not fire, key / interlock / footswitch error.
Root cause: Footswitch, door interlock, or key-switch fault.
