Preparing the patient for procedure
1.
Always position the patient in a comfortable way.
2.
If you use a Hose-holder, position patient comfortably on the holder base so that
the target area is easily accessible and trajectory of the cryoprobe is safe (make
sure that Holder adjustable arm is not in the way of the user or CT gantry). For
example: in the treatment of Breast tumor it is desirable that the cryoprobe will be
placed parallel to the chest wall.
3.
Measure the lesion with an imaging device in all dimensions prior to procedure to
determine long axis and point of entry.
4.
See Figure below for a schematic illustration of the placement of the system and
the patient in the treatment room.

Warning
The handle and hose portions of the
ProSense™
cryoablation system
may
become cold during the cryoablation procedure. Operators should consider
insulating these parts in order to prevent discomfort to the patient.
Warning
Practices of cryoablation for women with breast implants have not been
established. For patients with breast implants, you must document that
adequate distance exists between the lesion and the implant to ensure that
the ablated lesion will not contact or jeopardize the implant, and there is
enough space to create the required margins.
