Devitalizing tissue, recanalization (as a result of tissue necro-
sis)
1. Insert the instrument through the working channel of the
endoscope.
2. Place the cryotip on the target tissue applying light pressure
and activate the cryosurgical unit’s freeze function.
3. Once the tissue is frozen, deactivate the cryosurgical unit’s
freeze function and wait until the cryotip has thawed com-
pletely.
Note: When the cryotip has thawed completely, it can be re-
moved from the tissue with minimal effort. Do not remove the
cryotip by rotating or pulling.
4. Carefully remove the cryotip from the tissue.
5. Remove the instrument from the endoscope. Make sure that
the angle of the endoscope is not too steep and the probe is
not clamped.
Extracting tissue samples, removing foreign bodies, recanali-
zation (through tissue extraction)
Avoid unintentional contact between healthy tissue and the
freeze zone of the activated cryoprobe, e.g. by using a tube.
1. Insert the instrument through the working channel of the
endoscope.
2. Place the cryotip on the target tissue or foreign object apply-
ing light pressure and activate the cryosurgical unit’s freeze
function.
3. While keeping the cryosurgical unit’s freeze function perma-
nently activated, perform the following steps:
– Remove the tissue or the foreign body by withdrawing
the instrument together with the endoscope from the
operating field. Do not rotate the cryo instrument.
– Withdraw the endoscope together with the instrument.
