Select the cryoprobe based on ice ball size you want to obtain and the cooling zone
location as defined in the table above.
Always monitor the ice ball engulfment with appropriate imaging modality.
Marks on the cryoprobe shaft aid in determining the depth of cryoprobe insertion. The
first mark (closest to the tip) is thicker and represents the minimum insertion depth of
the cryoprobe for a percutaneous procedure. Before starting the freezing procedure, the
user must verify that this mark is fully inserted into the skin.
When an introducer to guide the Cryoprobes to the tissue location is used, an introducer
with tight dimensions should be used. The cryoablation may be affected by the use of an
introducer that is too big and create an air barrier between the freezing power of the
cryoprobe and the tissue, inject 5cc of sterile saline or water into the introducer lumen to
improve heat exchange between the cryoprobe and the tissue, if too big Introducer was
chosen.
Warning
Cryoprobe, introducer, temperature sensor and holder materials are not
compatible with magnetic resonance imaging
7.2
The foot pedal
The foot pedal (Not available in some regions, e.g. China) is a pneumatic
accessory,
external to the main chassis and is not essential for normal functioning of the system. It
serves as an alternative way to select actions displayed on the screen, instead of
physically pressing the blue circle icons on the screen.
To use the foot pedal (Not available in some regions, e.g. China), connect it to the
console by plugging its cable into the footswitch connector located on the back panel.
The foot pedal action is equal to the action of the optional
BLUE
button.
7.3
The temperature sensor
If the user chooses to measure target tissue temperature during cryoablation, the
temperature sensor is a single-use external accessory that can be connected to the main
chassis.
To use the temperature sensor, connect it to the panel connector on the right upper
corner of the chassis, according to instructions detailed in section 3.3.8
–
Temperature
sensor.
