Temperature sensor (TS)
The temperature sensor is a single use accessory that provides real time temperature
measurements when inserted in tissue. Use of temperature sensors is optional; the
decision to use a temperature sensor is according to clinical judgment.
Prior to starting a procedure, the temperature sensor is connected to the system and
inserted into the desired location within the tissue. Insert the sensor at location that
gives useful information about the progress of the freezing procedure. For example, the
temperature sensor can be placed near the boundary of a tumor to ensure that the
entire tumor has been frozen. Alternatively, the temperature sensor may be placed near
an organ that should not be frozen during the procedure to ensure that the ice front has
not advanced to this location.
The temperature sensor is not indicated for measuring the body temperature, but only
for getting temperature indication of some tissue during cryoablation.
Warning
Do not rely solely on the temperature sensor measurement. Always monitor
the procedure using Ultrasound or other appropriate imaging systems.
