Main marks indicate safety zone, 5 cm (slightly thick third mark from the left) and 10 cm
(double mark in circle).
Once you have verified the cryoprobe is located in the correct place, you may begin
freezing.
Freeze Step
Selecting the type of treatment, Manual or Automatic, is discussed in section 5.3.3.2 and
5.3.3.3.
Warning
Portions of the cryoprobe other than the freeze zone, including the plastic
cover that is located near the cryoprobe handle, may become cold and cause
tissue damage. If unwanted freezing occurs, immediately stop the freezing
process.
To prevent injury, cryoprobes must be closely observed during use for signs of
unwanted freezing.
Warning
Do not start the
Freeze
step before the cryoprobe cool zone center is aligned with
the center of the target tissue.
The practitioner can hold the cryohandle for the duration of the cryoablation procedure
or use a hose support device.
5.3.3.1
Pause Option
The Pause option is only available for specific settings of the
ProSense™
cryoablation
system. Contact your
IceCure™
Medical representative for further details and
instructions.
If enabled, the Pause option is available at any
Freeze
step of the cryoablation procedure,
in Manual or in Automatic mode. The pause enables the user to halt the freezing step for
a short period of time. The tissue is naturally reheated, which creates a passive thaw
state.
The use of the
Pause
button is according to clinical judgment (for example, for re-
positioning the cryoprobe in the tissue or at the time of injecting saline). Using the pause
option should be as minimal as possible.
The pause duration is not calculated in the total cryoablation cycle time. Use the pause
time counter that appears on the screen during pause.
