Set Ablation Time
1.
The time of ablation is displayed in the middle of the interface of the
cryo
ICE
BOX and is indicated by a clock underneath the display. The display shows the
time of ablation in seconds, see Figure 17.
Figure 17: Ablation Time Display
2.
To change the duration of the ablation, press either of the up or down arrows to
the right of the time display. The display will change in increments of ten
seconds. The timer will reset to the default setting after a single cycle has been
run.
START Ablation
1.
Ensure
cryo
ICE
BOX is powered on and the
cryo
ICE Probe and N
2
O is connected
properly.
2.
Check that desired ablation time is displayed, change if needed.
3.
Press and release the Activation Button at the left of the device to begin the
ablation.
4.
The temperature display on the front panel displays the
cryo
ICE Probe
temperature. A double-beep will indicate that the therapeutic temperature has
been reached (typically -40°C), and the ablation timer will begin to count down.
A short beep will sound every 30 seconds. A series of beeps will indicate the last
5-seconds of the Ablation cycle.
5.
At the conclusion of the Ablation cycle, the
cryo
ICE
BOX will automatically
transition into the DEFROST mode. The DEFROST indicator will illuminate
indicating probe warming until it has reached the transition temperature which
ends defrost, then the unit will automatically transition into READY and vent the
probe.
