ice or frost on the lid can interfere with proper venting. To assure safe
operation, only use the original sponge lid supplied with the dewar.
Liquid nitrogen containers should always be stored in an upright position.
Tipping the container or letting it lie on its side can result in spillage and may
damage the container. Dropping the container or subjecting it to severe
vibration may damage the vacuum insulation system.
Transfer liquid nitrogen with care.
Spilling and splashing are the primary
hazards of transferring liquid nitrogen from one container to another.
NEVER overfill the containers. Filling above the specified level is likely to
produce spillage when the lid is replaced. Transportation of liquid nitrogen
must always be done in the original container and in accordance with local
laws and safety rules.
Do not attempt to dispose of residual or unused quantities of liquid
nitrogen.
For safe disposal contact your supplier. For emergency disposal,
discharge slowly to the atmosphere in a well-ventilated room or outdoors.
If spilled liquid nitrogen causes a cloud to form, the room must be evacuated
and ventilated immediately. Anyone experiencing headache, dizziness,
difficulty breathing, or other symptoms of hypoxia should receive immediate
medical attention.
Do not use a liquid nitrogen Dewar if it is damaged.
You can tell that a
Dewar is damaged if after filling it, frost appears on the outer wall of the
container. Return the Dewar to an IceCure
Medical technician or an
authorized distributor for inspection.
Warning
Before beginning a procedure on a new patient, the Dewar MUST be
properly filled and placed in the system as described in section 5.2.6.1 of this
